INTRODUCTION

A bucket elevator, also called a grain leg, is a mechanism for hauling

flow able bulk materials (most often grain or fertilizer) vertically. It
consists of:
1. Buckets to contain the material
!. A belt to carry the buckets and transmit the "ull
#. $eans to drive the belt
%. Accessories for loading the buckets or "icking u" the material, for
receiving the discharged material, for maintaining the belt tension
and for enclosing and "rotecting the elevator. A bucket elevator
can elevate a variety of bulk materials from light to heavy and from
fine to large lum"s.
A centrifugal discharge elevator may be vertical or inclined. &ertical
elevators de"end entirely on the action of centrifugal force to get the
material into the discharge chute and must be run at s"eeds relatively
high. Inclined elevators with buckets s"aced a"art or set close together
may have the discharge chute set "artly under the head "ulley. 'ince
they don(t de"end entirely on the centrifugal force to "ut the material into
the chute, the s"eed may be relatively lower.
)early all centrifugal discharge elevators have s"aced buckets with
rounded bottoms. *hey "ick u" their load from a boot, a "it, or a "ile of
material at the foot "ulley.
*he buckets can be also triangular in cross section and set close to on
the belt with little or no clearance between them. *his is a continuous
bucket elevator. Its main use is to carry difficult materials at slow s"eed.
+arly bucket elevators used a flat chain with small, steel buckets
attached every few inches. ,urrent construction uses a rubber belt with
"lastic buckets. -ulleys several feet in diameter are used at the to" and
bottom. *he to" "ulley is driven by an electric motor.
*he bucket elevator is the enabling technology that "ermitted the
construction of grain elevators. A diverter at the to" of the elevator
allows the grain to be sent to the chosen bin.
A similar device with flat ste"s is occasionally used as an elevator for
humans, e.g., for em"loyees in "arking garages. (*his sort of elevator is
generally considered too dangerous to allow use by the "ublic.)
Bucket Elevator Working Principle

Bucket elevator is made u" of the move "art (ho""er and drag ta"e), the
u""er "art that has transmission drum and the under "art that has
cocking rotary drum, middle machine shell, driving device, o""osite
brake device. It is suit for lifting loose, density less than ../t0m#
"owdery, granularity and small block loose materials. 'uch as coal,
sand, charcoal "owder, cement, crushing mineral stone.
PARTS OF BUCET E!E"ATOR
*he motion of belt or chain is un1directional. Bucket elevator is a very
sim"le yet reliable device for lifting of bulk materials. Bucket elevators
en2oy a few advantages, which include sim"licity of design and
fabrication, re3uires minimum floor s"ace, low initial investment.
*y"es of bucket elevators:
4ften bucket elevators are classified according to the bucket s"acing
and mode of discharge. *hey are:
.. ,entrifugal discharge elevators
!. 5ravity or ,ontinuous discharge elevators
#. -ositive discharge elevators

,om"onents of bucket elevators:
*he essential com"onents of a bucket elevator are:
.. Buckets
!. ,arrying medium
#. Boot arrangement
%. 6ead arrangement
/. ,asings
A bucket elevator is a conveyor for carrying bulk materials in a vertical or
inclined "ath. Bucket elevators for the mechanical, vertical trans"ortation
of materials have become a crucial link in the "roduction "rocess in
many industrial sectors.
*y"ical elevator consists of:
.. An endless belt,
!. A chain or chains, to which buckets are attached,
#. )ecessary loading and discharging terminal machinery,
%. A drive arrangement,
/. 'u""orting frame or casing.
$aterial and convey it u" to and over the head s"rocket0"ulley, then
throwing the material out the discharge throat. *he em"tied buckets then
continue back down to the boot to continue the cycle.
Industrial Bucket +levators are made in a variety of sha"es, weights and
sizes, utilizing centrifugal buckets or continuous buckets. *he belt can be
made of natural fibres, rubber, "lastic or metal.
,entrifugal Bucket +levators are most commonly used to convey free
flowing materials. *hey o"erate at high s"eeds, which throw the
materials out the buckets into discharge throat by centrifugal force.
,ontinuous Bucket +levators have buckets s"aced continuously and
o"erate at slower s"eeds. *he continuous bucket "lacement allows the
force of gravity to discharge their load onto the inverted front of the
"receding bucket. *he bucket then guides that material into the
discharge throat on the descending side of the elevator. *hey minimize
"roduct damage or are used to handle light, fluffy materials where
aeration of the "roduct must be avoided.

BUCET E!E"ATOR %ORSE POWER
AND
CA!CU!ATIONS
*here are many variables to consider when designing a Bucket +levator.
*hese include bucket size, bucket s"acing, s"eed, and various
com"onents. *his information can act as a guide for determining the
6orse -ower (6-) re3uirements of a Bucket +levator.
?hen designing a Bucket +levator there are more variables to be
consider that can be listed here. It should be noted that a small mistake
in calculating the re3uired 6- of a small, low ca"acity Bucket +levator
may not result in a unit failure, but a small mistake on a large, high
ca"acity bucket elevator may result in a catastro"hic failure. *his is why
it is im"ortant to always work with an e="erienced Bucket +levator
$anufacturer who can hel" in the design and im"lementation of a
successful "ro2ect.
Deter&ining %or'e Po(er
*o be able to accurately determine the "ower re3uirements of a Bucket
+levator, it must first be understood the internal forces acting on the unit.
Although there are many com"onents in the Bucket +levator, only the
u"ward movement of the conveyed "roduct needs to be considered.
*his is because the weight of the Belt0,hain and ,u"s are identically
balanced on both sides of the head shaft. 4nly the internal friction
caused by the movement of these com"onents needs to be considered
when calculating the 6- re3uirements.
*here are many variations of 6orse -ower (6-) calculations found in
historical and individual manufacturer@s literature. *he formulas below
are used to determine the "ower re3uirements of a Bucket +levator
throughout the industry.
