BUCKET ELEVATORS
Bucket elevators afford a practical, efficient and economical means of elevating a wide variety of dry, free-flowing
bulk materials. Typical elevators consist of a series of buckets metal or plastic mounted on chain or belt and
enclosed in steel casings. Take-ups in the foot terminal allow compensation for changes in chain or belt
length due to temperature, wear, etc. Since bucket elevators are generally fully enclosed, they are ideally
suited for either indoor or outdoor applications. Standard bucket elevators manufactured by WAM, Inc. -
which have been determined to be the types best suited for the widest number of typical industrial
applications - are described on this page. For highly specialized applications, WAM, Inc., will custom build
your elevator to meet your particular elevating requirements.

TYPE 100 TYPE 150 TYPE 700

The Type 100 is a centrifugal discharge eleva-
tor capable of handling a variety of fine or free-
flowing materials with small to medium-size
lumps. Bucket loading is generally accomplished
by means of loading chute in the boot sec-
tion., Material is discharged by centrifugal
force. Standard elevators utilize buckets on
chain. Screw take-ups with ball bearings are
standard.
Type 150 centrifugal discharge elevators are
identical to the Type 100 except that they uti-
lize buckets mounted on belt. These eleva-
tors may be furnished with either fabric or
rubber-covered belts, as required. Belts
constructed of other materials also may be
furnished to meet specific operating requir-
ments.
Type 700 elevators utilize steel buckets mount-
ed continuously on a single strand of chain or
belt. As the buckets pass over the head wheel
the material flows over the bottom of the pre-
ceding bucket to the discharge spout. Materi-
al feed is accomplished by means of a load-
ing chute in the boot section. Screw take-ups
with ball bearings are standard.

FACTORS IN SELECTION HORSEPOWER CALCULATION

A number of factors are important in the proper selection of a bucket The horsepower required at the headshaft may be calculated with the
elevator. Specifically, these are: following equation. The values required in the formula are listed in the
tables in the elevator sections:
1. The characteristics of the material to be elevated: Its weight per cubic
fool, its abrasivness, corrosiveness and flowability (angle of repose) SHP = THP + CHP x C
and any other characteristics which could affect its handling.
SHP: Horsepower at the headshaft
2. The required capacity in tons or cubic feet per hour. THP: Terminal horsepower
CHP: Horsepower per foot of centers
3. Maximum lump size (in inches), as well as the overall percentage of C: Center distance in feet
lumps in the total volume of material.
The actual motor horsepower required to operate the loaded elevator is
4. Shaft centers, in feet. dependent on the type of drive used. Drive efficiency-usually 85%-must
be taken into consideration when selecting the motor and drive equip-
5. General operating conditions: Indoors, outdoors, corrosive or abrasive ment.
environment, dusty, etc.
SELECTION EXAMPLE
6. Service requirements: Continuous or intermittent operation.
For purposes of illustration, a bucket elevator shall be selected to meet
STEPS IN SELECTION the following requirements:

1. Determine the elevator type recommended for the specific material by
referring to Table 1. Locate the materials and note the type or types
recommended. If the material is not listed, use a material with similar
characteristics and bulk density.
2. Refer to Table 2 and double check this preliminary selection with re-
gard to lump size, capacity and maximum centers. If more than one
elevator type has been recommended, select the type which is better
suited to your capacity and lump size requirements.
3. Determine the elevator number by referring to the data provided for
each elevator type in subsequent sections of this book.
4. Select the chain or belt. The tables in the individual elevator sections
list chain recommendations and belt width and plies.
Chain: If more than one chain type is indicated, final selection depends
on the operating requirements or user' s individual preference. Steel
chains, of course, have greater strength and wear life than C Class
combination chains and are generally recommended for heavy
duty applications or for centers greater than 60 feet.
Belt-A: wide variety of belting is available on the market today, and final
selection depends on the anticipated operating conditions or the
preference of the user. When belt is not specified, WAM,Inc. will
furnish standard belt to suit the particular operating conditions. Rub-
ber-covered belts can be furnished when required. For data or rec-
ommendations for special belting, consult WAM,Inc..
5. Determine the headshaft size and speed as listed for the elevator num-
ber in the tables in the individual elevator sections.
Material: Lime, pebble, unslaked
Weight per cubic foot: 50 pounds
Capacity:50 tons per hour or 2,000 cubic feet per hour
Lump size: Up to 11/2 inches
Percentage of lumps: Up to 10 % (11/2 " in size)
Shaft centers: 50 feet
Service: 8 hours per day
Referring to Table 1, note that the material is nonabrasive, non-corrosive,
but sluggish (angle of repose beyond 45 degrees). Types 100, 700 and
1000 are recommended. Turning to Table 2, it is found that type 100 will
meet the capacity and lump size requirements. However, since the mate-
rial is sluggish, the Type 700 continuous elevator is selected as that best
suited to handle the material. Referring to the capacity table for Type 700
elevators, it is found that a No. 716 elevator will adequately handle the
capacity and lump size of the material to be handled. The chain recom-
mended is C 132, which is adequate for operation of the elevator eight
hours per day. The tabular matter for this elevator lists the chain speed at
125 feet per minute and recommends a 3v -inch diameter headshaft.
Horsepower is then calculated as follows:
SHP = .270 + .070 x 50
SHP = 3.77
Assuming a drive efficiency of 85 %, actual required horsepower is then
calculated as follows:
3.77
= 4.45
.85
A standard 5 horsepower motor is selected.

TYPE 100
Centrifugal Discharge With Chain

Standard Type 100 elevators include: Head section, pillowblock

tapered roller bearings, discharge spout, casings, chain, Style AA
buckets, boot section and screw take-ups with ball bearings.

Any variations in chain or buckets should be specified.

Capacities are based on buckets filled to water level capacity and

are proportional to the weight and volume of material carried and
chain speed. Horsepower information is based on buckets filled to
100% theoretical capacity.

Fluffy, lightweight or pulverized materials may require 15% to 20% slower

chain speeds than those listed and may frequently require perforated
buckets.

BUCKET ELEVATORS
TYPE 150 D

TYPE 150
Centrifugal Discharge With Belt

Type 150 elevators are identical to Type 100, except that they utilize Style
AA malleable iron buckets on belt rather than chain. Standard units regu-
larly include: Head section, pillowblock tapered roller bearings, dis-
charge spout, casings, belting, Style AA boot section and screw
take-ups with ball bearings.

Any variations in belting or buckets must be specified. Style AA non

metallic iron buckets are recommended for wet or sticky materials.

Capacities are based on buckets filled to water level capacity and

are proportional to the weight and volume of material carried and belt
speed. Capacities must be adjusted when different buckets are used.
Horsepower information is based on buckets filled to 100% theoret-
ical capacity.

Fluffy, lightweight or pulverized materials may require 15% to 20% slower

belt speeds and may frequently require perforated buckets for proper dis-
charge.

Continuous Buckets on Chain

Type 700 continuous bucket elevators include: Head section, pillow-

block tapered roller bearings, discharge spout, casings, chain, medi-
um-front continuous buckets, boot section and screw take-ups with
ball bearings.

Any variations in chain or bucket types must be specified.

Capacities listed are based on buckets filled to water level capacity

and are proportional to the weight and volume of material carried and
chain speed. Horsepower information is based on buckets filled to
100% capacity.

Chain speeds may be increased to 200 FPM to increase capacity.

Platforms Ladders/Safety Cages

Head section service platforms are of struc-
tural steel, angle hand rails and heavy non-skid
grating. The platform mounts securely to the ele-
vator head section. Various sizes and configura-
tions are available. Rest platforms are also avail-
able and required at 30´ intervals.
Ladders with safety cages are available. They
are constructed of heavy gauge steel and sized to
provide easy access to platforms. Ladders with
safety cage are easily bolted to the elevator cas-
ings.

Service platforms

Service platforms provide convenient access to the head terminal for inspection, lubrication and general servicing. Platforms cover three
sides of the elevator and are securely supported by the steel elevator casings. Floors may be constructed of steel grating, expanded metal,
or wood planks. Steel angle provides a safety railing on all exposed sides.

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE TO USERS: Do not attempt any maintenance or repairs of the conveyor until power has been locked
out and tagged out. Control Stored Energy: Use safety blocks between dangerous parts that could move and
injure.
Safety must be considered a basic factor in
machinery operation at all times. Most acci-
dents are the result of carelessness or negli-
gence. The following safety instructions are basic
guidelines and should be considered as mini-
mum provisions. Additional information shall
be obtained by the purchaser from other sourc-
es, including the American Society of Mechan-
ical Engineers, Standard ANSI B20.1, Standard
ANSI B15.1, Standard ANSI A12.1 Standard
ANSI MH4.7 and Standard ANSI Z244.
WAM, Inc. does not install equipment, conse-
quently it is the responsibility of the contractor,
installer, owner and user to install, maintain
and operate the conveyor, components and
assemblies in such a manner as to comply with
the William-Steiger Occupational Safety and
Health Act and with all state and local laws and
ordinances and the American National Stan-
dard Institute (ANSI) safety code.
In order to avoid an unsafe or hazardous con-
dition, the assemblies or parts must be installed
and operated in accordance with the following
minimum provisions.
1. Conveyors, and all other rotating and vibrat-
ing equipment (hereafter referred to as
equipment) shall not be operated unless all
covers and/or guards for the equipment and
drive unit are in place. If the equipment is to
be opened for inspection cleaning, mainte-
nance or observation, the electric power to
the motor driving the conveyor must be
LOCKED OUT and TAGGED OUT in such a
manner that the equipment cannot be re-
started by anyone; however remote from the
area, until equipment cover or guards and
drive guards have been properly replaced.
2. If the equipment must have an open housing
as a condition of its use and application, the
entire equipment is then to be guarded by a
railing or fence in accordance with ANSI stan-
dard B20.1-1993, with special attention giv-
en to section 6.12.
3. Feed openings for shovel, front loaders or
other manual or mechanical equipment shall
be constructed in such a way that the equip-
ment opening is covered by a grating. If the
nature of the material is such that a grating
cannot be used, then the exposed

a railing or fence and there shall be a warn-
ing sign posted.
2. Do not attempt any maintenance or repairs
of the equipment until power has been
LOCKED OUT and TAGGED OUT.
3. Control stored energy: Use safety blocks be-
tween dangerous parts that could move and
injure. Always operate conveyor in accor-
dance with these instructions and those con-

Other devices should not be used as a substi-
tute for locking out the power prior to removing
guards or covers. We caution that use of the
secondary devices may cause employees to de-
velop 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 equipment and equipment sys-
tems such that if one item of equipment in a
system or process is stopped other equipment
feeding it, or following it can also be automat-
ically 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 sup-
plement the materials and services furnished
with these necessary items to make the equip-
ment installation comply with the law and ac-
cepted standards.
Equipment inlet and discharge openings are
designed to connect to other equipment or
machinery so that the flow of material into and
out of the equipment is completely enclosed.
