Basic Info

Deep Pan Conveyor, also known as a pan-type track bucket elevator, is an industrial equipment specifically designed for transporting bulk materials. Its core structure consists of a series of interconnected deep pans forming a chain. These pans operate along a closed-loop track via rollers, functioning much like train cars to continuously transport materials from one location to another.

Product Description

Construction of Bucket Elevators

Bucket elevators are suitable for conveying materials of specific particle size and bulk density, as well as powdered materials, in industries such as metallurgy, mining, construction, chemical engineering, food processing, and grain handling. It comprises a drive unit (including a backstop device), a housing (consisting of horizontal, redirecting, and vertical sections), and within the housing, a traction chain, buckets, a head pulley, and a tail pulley. Loading and unloading sections are located at both ends of the housing. Each bucket is connected to two parallel traction chains via connecting rings on both sides. The head pulley features teeth that mesh with the traction chain.

Advantages

Compared to other conveyors, it can transport materials at steeper inclines or even vertically while occupying minimal floor space;

Significantly shortens the conveying route for the same elevation gain, enabling compact system layout and greatly enhancing conveying efficiency;

Operates within a fully enclosed housing, ensuring safe and reliable operation with excellent sealing properties, thereby minimizing environmental pollution.

Working Principle

Buckets scoop material from the lower storage area, lifting it along the conveyor belt or chain to the top. After passing over the top pulley, the buckets invert and discharge the material into the receiving hopper. Belt-driven bucket elevators typically use rubber belts mounted on drive pulleys at the top or bottom and deflection pulleys at the upper and lower ends. Chain-driven bucket elevators usually feature two parallel drive chains, with a pair of drive sprockets at the top or bottom and a pair of idler sprockets at the bottom or top. Bucket elevators are generally enclosed in a housing to prevent dust dispersion. They are suitable for elevating materials from lower to higher elevations. After materials are fed into the buckets via a vibrating table, the machine automatically operates continuously to transport them upward.
