Vertical Bucket Elevator

They are primarily utilized to vertically convey powder bulk solids, such as grains, sugar, sand, minerals, etc. This version works by digging into materials at the boot section and employing high-speed centrifugal force to project materials into discharge throats.The bucket conveyor comes in three basic types: centrifugal, continuous, and positive discharge conveyors (specialty and custom-made bucket conveyors also exist, but they will not be detailed for brevity's sake).A centrifugal bucket elevator employs centrifugal force to throw material out of the buckets as they travel over the head pulley or sprocket. This type of bucket elevator operates at a higher speed and utilizes buckets spaced further apart compared to continuous bucket elevators.
