WARNING AND SAFETY REMINDERS FOR


SCREW , DRAG , AND BUCKET ELEVATOR CONVEYORS
APPROVED FOR DISTRIBUTION BY THE SCREW CONVEYOR SECTION OF THE
CONVEYOR EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION (CEMA)
It is the responsibility of the contractor,
installer, owner and user to install,
maintain and operate the conveyor,
components and, conveyor assemblies in
such a manner as to comply with the
Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and
Health Act and with all state and local laws
and ordinances and the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) B20.1 Safety
Code.
In order to avoid an unsafe or hazardous
condition, the assemblies or parts must
be installed and operated in accordance
with the following minimum provisions.
1. Conveyors shall not be operated
unless all covers and/or guards for the
conveyor and drive unit are in place. If
the conveyor is to be opened for
inspection cleaning, maintenance or
observation, the electric power to the
motor driving the conveyor must be
LOCKED OUT in such a manner that
the conveyor cannot be restarted by
anyone; however remote from the area,
until conveyor cover or guards and
drive guards have been properly
replaced.
2. If the conveyor must have an open
housing as a condition of its use and
application, the entire conveyor is then
to be guarded by a railing or fence in
accordance with ANSI standard
B20.1.(Request current edition and
addenda)
3. Feed openings for shovel, front
loaders or other manual or mechanical
equipment shall be constructed in such
a way that the conveyor opening is
covered by a grating. If the nature of
the material is such that a grating
cannot be used, then the exposed
section of the conveyor is to be guarded
by a railing or fence and there shall be
a warning sign posted.
4. Do not attempt any maintenance or
repairs of the conveyor until power has
been LOCKED OUT.
5. Always operate conveyor in
accordance with these instructions and
those contained on the caution labels
affixed to the equipment.

6. Do not place hands, feet, or any part


of your body, in the conveyor.
7. Never walk on conveyor covers,
grating or guards.
8. Do not use conveyor for any purpose
other than that for which it was
intended.
9. Do not poke or prod material into the
conveyor with a bar or stick inserted
through the openings.
10. Keep area around conveyor drive
and control station free of debris and
obstacles.
11. Eliminate all sources of stored
energy (materials or devices that could
cause conveyor components to move
without power applied) before opening
the conveyor

12. Do not attempt to clear a jammed


conveyor until power has been
LOCKED OUT.
13. Do not attempt field modification of
conveyor or components.
14. Conveyors are not normally
manufactured or designed to handle
materials that are hazardous to
personnel. These materials which are
hazardous include those that are
explosive, flammable, toxic or
otherwise dangerous to personnel.
Conveyors may be designed to handle
these materials. Conveyors are not
manufactured or designed to comply
with local, state or federal codes for
unfired pressure vessels. If hazardous
materials are to be conveyed or if the
conveyor is to be subjected to internal
or external pressure, manufacturer
should be consulted prior to any
modifications.
CEMA insists that disconnecting and
locking out the power to the motor driving
the unit provides the only real protection
against injury. Secondary safety devices
are available; however, the decision as to
their need and the type required must be
made by the owner-assembler as we have

no information regarding plant wiring,


plant environment, the interlocking of the
screw conveyor with other equipment,
extent of plant automation, etc. Other
devices should not be used as a substitute
for locking out the power prior to removing
guards or covers. We caution that use of
the secondary devices may cause
employees to develop a false sense of
security and fail to lock out power before
removing covers or guards. This could
result in a serious injury should the
secondary device fail or malfunction.
There are many kinds of electrical devices
for interlocking of conveyors and conveyor
systems such that if one conveyor in a
system or process is stopped other
equipment feeding it, or following it can
also be automatically stopped.
Electrical controls, machinery guards,
railings, walkways, arrangement of
installation, training of personnel, etc., are
necessary ingredients for a safe working
place. It is the responsibility of the
contractor, installer, owner and user to
supplement the materials and services
furnished with these necessary items to
make the conveyor installation comply
with the law and accepted standards.
Conveyor inlet and discharge openings
are designed to connect to other
equipment or machinery so that the flow
of material into and out of the conveyor is
completely enclosed.
One or more warning labels should be
visible on conveyor housings, conveyor
covers and elevator housings. If the labels
attached to the equipment become
illegible, please order replacement
warning labels from the OEM or CEMA.
The Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers
Association (CEMA) has produced an
audio-visual presentation entitled Safe
Operation of Screw Conveyors, Drag
Conveyors, and Bucket Elevators. CEMA
encourages acquisition and use of this
source of safety information to
supplement your safety program.

INDUSTRIAL BUCKET ELEVATORS


Bucket elevators are designed to move flowing powders or bulk solids
vertically. The typical elevator consists of a series of buckets mounted on a
chain or belt operating over a sprocket or pulley. Take-ups are provided as a
means to compensate for variations in length of chain or belt due to
temperature changes, atmospheric conditions, or wear. A steel casing
encloses the bucket line. Head sections and boot sections house integral
transmission components.
Material is fed into an inlet hopper. Buckets (or cups) dig into the
Material, and convey it up to and over the head sprocket/pulley, then
throwing the material out the discharge throat. The emptied buckets then
continue back down to the boot to continue the cycle.
ORTHMAN CONVEYINGS Industrial Bucket Elevators are made in a
variety of shapes, weights and sizes, utilizing centrifugal buckets or
continuous buckets.
Centrifugal Bucket Elevators are most commonly used to convey freeflowing, powdered bulk solids such as grains, animal feed, sand, minerals,
sugar, aggregates, chemicals and more. They operate at high speeds,
which throw the materials out the buckets into discharge throat by
centrifugal force.
Industrial type elevators operate at slower speeds than standard duty-type
elevators. Generally, Style AA buckets are used, which are widely spaced
on a chain or belt and operate at speeds up to 305 FPM for handling the
heaviest of industrial materials up to 1213 pounds per
cubic foot.
Continuous Bucket Elevators have buckets spaced continuously
and operate at slower speeds. The continuous bucket placement
allows the force of gravity to discharge their load onto the inverted
front of the preceding bucket. The bucket then guides that material
into the discharge throat on the descending side of the elevator.
Continuous elevators are used to handle friable, fragile materials
because they minimize product damage or are used to handle light,
fluffy materials where aeration of the product must be avoided. Speeds
average 120 FPM for handling up to 775 tons per hour.
Because every bucket application is unique, ORTHMAN CONVEYING
offers a broad series of industrial elevator designs. Selection of the proper
type elevator depends largely on capacity requirements and the
characteristics of the material to be handled.

Selection procedure for industrial bucket elevators


EXAMPLE:

Material.loose coke
(crushed 50% minus 1)
Weight/ft.3.23-35 lbs. per cu. ft.
Capacity required30 tons per hour
Elevator height.400 floor to discharge
Loose coke is shown in the Material chart and
classified as a D47QNT material, see page 4.
The recommended type of elevator model is a
Series 2010, which designates centrifugal
discharge style buckets mounted on belting. For
size selection, first convert the required capacity
to the equivalent capacity of a 100-lb. Material.
(Use the highest figure in the weight range.)
30X100 = 130.43 or 131 TPH
23
Referring to the Series 2000 elevator, page
B-10, the smallest elevator that can be used is
the 2010, which has a rated capacity of 132 TPH.
The allowable lump size in this size elevator
bucket (16 X 8) is 1 , see page 10. This minus
1 material can therefore be handled in this size
bucket.
The next step is to convert the height
requirement into shaft centers for computation of

Horsepower. If shaft centers are known,


proceed to next step. Discharge height plus
dimension H, see page 11, will give
approximate shaft centers.
400 + 33 = 429 (use 43 centers)
To determine horsepower requirements, multiply
shaft centers by horsepower per foot and add
terminal horsepower, see page 12. Therefore,
horsepower for this example is 43x.060 + 1.10
which equals 3.68.
This calculation is based on handling a 100-lb.
material. The correction to a 25-35 lb. Material is:
3.68 X 35
= 1.29 HP
100
(Use the heaviest figure in the weight range.)
The total calculated horsepower must be further
corrected for power transmission and drive loss.
Drive efficiency is usually 85%. Therefore, the
minimum required operating horsepower is 1.29
divided by .85 = 1.52 HP. A 2-HP motor is the
smallest that can be recommended that will give
continued trouble free operation. This calculated
horsepower is also dependent on a continuous
even flow of material, not exceeding under any
conditions, flow rate used in the calculation.

Series 2000 Bucket Elevator

Centrifugal Discharge Using Belt

1. Factory assembled head section insures trouble


free installation. Split head provides easy access
for removal and maintenance. Spherical roller
bearings are engineered for maximum load
requirements which reduce friction and insure
smooth operation. Hood contoured to minimize
corrosion and material packing in corners.
2. Discharge spout has 90 flange and convenient
inspection
door
furnished
as
standard.
45 discharge spout available as an option.
3. The ORTHMAN CONVEYING Series 2000 industrial
elevators are similar to the ORTHMAN CONVEYING
Series 1000 except belting is used instead of
chain. These are ideal for handling all types of free
flowing powdered bulk solids. They operate at high
speeds, which throw the materials out of the
buckets into the discharge throats by centrifugal
force. Style AA malleable iron cups are bolted onto
belting.
4. X braced casing embossments on our inspection
sections provide exceptional strength, and
dimensional stability. Inspection sections of
continuous seam weldments. Quick clamped
inspection doors provide easy access for
inspection and maintenance of buckets and
belting.
5. Boot sections are completely factory assembled.
Heavy-duty ball bearing pillow blocks are mounted
on acme thread take-ups and adjusted for secure
tension on the belt. Both sides of boot are bolted
to provide easy access inside. Screw take-ups are
standard. Gravity take-ups (Internal and External)
are available as an option.
Drum pulleys for elevator boots are standard with
options for wing pulleys with replaceable wear
strips.
6. The ORTHMAN CONVEYING Series 2000 industrial
elevators feature 3/16 plate boots and discharge
spout as standard; head and casings of 10 gauge,
and hood of 12 gauge. Guy wires not included.
7. Stainless steel construction of housing, shafts,
buckets, bucket bolts, pulleys and other fabricated
parts is available for special applications.

Series 3000 Bucket Elevator


1. Factory assembled head section insures trouble
free installation. Split head provides easy access
for removal and maintenance. Spherical roller
bearings are engineered for maximum load
requirements that reduce friction and insure
smooth operation. Hood contoured to minimize
corrosion and material packing in corners.
2. Standard discharge spout has 90 flange and
convenient inspection door, 45 discharge spout
available as an option.
3. Elevators of this design are ideal for the bulk
handling of materials ranging from light to heavy
and from fine to large lumps. Buckets are
spaced continuously and loaded by directed
feeding. Their close spacing prevents spillage
between cups and as the bucket discharges the
material over the preceding bucket front and
side, which form a chute into the discharge
spout.
4. X braced casing embossments on our
inspection sections provide exceptional strength,
and dimensional stability. Inspection sections of
continuous seam weldments. Quick clamped
inspection doors provide easy access for
inspection and maintenance of buckets and
chain.
5. Boot sections are completely factory assembled.
Heavy-duty ball bearing pillow blocks are
mounted on acme square thread take-ups and
adjusted for secure tension on the chain. Both
sides of boot are bolted to provide easy access
inside. Screw take-ups are standard. Gravity
take-ups (Internal and External), available as an
option.
6. The ORTHMAN CONVEYING Series 3000 industrial
elevators feature 3/16 plate for the boot and
discharge spout; head section and casings 10
gauge, and hood of 12 gauge. Guy wires not
included.

7. Stainless steel construction of housing, shafts,


buckets, bucket bolts, pulleys and other
fabricated
parts
available
for
special
applications.

To provide greater capacity when handling lightweight, fluffy or pulverized materials, chain speeds may be increased to 160 to 175 FPM
according to the fluffy nature of the material.

Based on buckets filled to 75% of theoretical capacity. Capacity directly proportional to volume and weight of material carried in buckets and
chain speed. Free-flowing materials cannot be carried as high in the buckets as heavier or less fluffy materials.

Terminal weight is based on average size head shaft. Weight adjustment necessary if casing thickness is other than listed above. Terminal
weight includes discharge spout and loading leg but not feed hopper.

discharge spouts. Specify elevator number and shaft centers. Ball and roller bearing pillow blocks and take-ups, gravity take-ups, drives, feed
hoppers, service platforms and ladders can be furnished.

Super capacity continuous steel buckets.

Based on handling mildly abrasive materials. Recommended speed 10% higher for nonabrasive materials and 10% lower for very abrasive
materials.

Maximum size lumps not to exceed 10% of the total volume and at least 75% of the total volume to be less than one-half of the maximum lump
size. For handling materials containing higher percentages of lumps and for sharp, wedge-shaped and shale-like materials, inclined boots are
recommended.

Based on buckets filled to 75% of theoretical capacity. Capacity directly proportional to volume and weight of material carried in buckets and
chain speed. Free-flowing materials cannot be carried as high in the buckets as heavier or less fluffy materials.

Elevators regularly include head shaft machinery with sprockets, boot shaft machinery with traction wheel. Gravity take-up, chain, buckets
and casing with discharge spout. Specify elevator number, discharge height or shaft centers. Drive, feed hoppers, backstops, service
platforms and ladders can be furnished.
Capacity based on buckets filled to 75% of theoretical capacity. Horsepower based on buckets filled to 100% of theoretical
capacity. Capacity and horsepower directly proportional to volume and weight of material carried in buckets and chain speed.

/2

Chains have been selected on basis of minimum composite service factor of: = 2 and = 1.5.
