Bucket elevator appropriate modification

Bucket elevators are a widely used vertical conveying equipment and have been widely used in grain, feed and seed processing industries. However, some problems have also occurred during use. In order to enhance its working performance and reliability, improvements have been made.
(1) An anti-reversal device is installed at the head of the bucket elevator.
When the power of the bucket elevator is suddenly interrupted during operation, reversal is very dangerous for the bucket elevator. During the lifting process of the bucket elevator, one side is an ascending bucket full of materials, and the other side is an empty descending bucket after unloading the materials. After the power is interrupted, the bucket elevator will reverse due to gravity. The materials are unloaded to the bottom of the bucket elevator as the bucket reverses until it is full and stuck in the bucket. Since reversal is an accelerated movement and then suddenly stuck, it is easy to tear off the bucket, causing damage to the belt or even breakage. In addition, the bucket elevator cannot be started if the bottom is full of materials. A ratchet mechanism can be used to prevent reversal.
(2) Suction pipes and vents should be installed at the head and bottom of the bucket elevator to ensure that the bucket elevator will not form negative pressure and dust overflow during the unloading and feeding process.
A well-made conveying equipment must have reliable sealing. However, good sealing will inevitably produce pressure differences during the material unloading and feeding process, causing difficulties in feeding and unloading. The vents make the internal pressure of the bucket elevator basically equal to the external pressure. Proper suction prevents dust from overflowing from the ventilation area, avoiding waste and cleaning the environment.
