ESPLV - High-speed continuous bucket elevator, with double chains connecting the sides of buckets

Description:Suitable for handling very large capacities (up to 1,500 m3/h or more). Can also be used at medium speeds similarly to those used on ESP Bucket elevators; part of the material is discharged by flowing onto the back of the preceding bucket. When used at medium speed, medium-sized materials can be lifted (70 - 80 mm). Elevator with chains connecting buckets that are driven by toothed wheels.
  • Acceptable material grain size (mm): 0 - 60
  • Recommended speed (m/s): 0.90 – 1.60
  • Acceptable centre-to-centre distance (m): 80

Construction specifications:
  • High-capacity continuous buckets, with extended sides in the area where material is expected to flow off.
  • Drive wheels with interchangeable toothed segments for driving the chains.
  • Toothed return wheels for improved chain guidance.
  • Link chains with side plates, pins and fixed bushings, with attachments for connecting the buckets.
  • Tangential feed inlet on idle station.
  • Tangential discharge outlet on drive station.
  • Standard parallel tensioning system with counterweight. Hydraulic tensioning system also available.
  • Type of discharge: tangential – centrifugal (partly also gravity discharge when medium speeds are used).
