NE Bucket Elevator

The NE bucket elevator operates on a simple yet effective principle. A driving device, typically an electric motor, powers a traction chain connected to the bucket body. As the bucket ascends along the guide rail, it loads materials. Upon reaching the top, gravity facilitates the discharge of materials, completing one transport cycle.

Key Components

The NE plate chain bucket elevator consists of several essential components:

Operating Parts: Includes buckets and a double-row sleeve roller chain.

Drive Device: Utilizes a Y-series electric motor connected to the main shaft via a hydraulic coupling, reducer, and chain transmission reducer. Alternatively, it can use a V-belt connection with a backstop.

Slow-Running Device: Features a geared motor that drives a platform equipped with a maintenance railing through a clutch and reducer.

The Drive Device Configuration for the NE bucket elevator is available in two options: the left configuration, where the drive device is on the left side when facing the feeding inlet, and the right configuration, where it is on the right side when facing the feeding inlet.

Upper Device: Equipped with a backstop, discharge outlet with a non-return plate, and user-defined switches.

Middle Section: Comprises various sections, including standard and inspection door options.

Lower Device: Contains a tensioning device with a user-defined material level switch.

Performance Characteristics of NE Plate Chain Elevator

1.Wide Lifting Range: Capable of lifting powdery, granular, and lump materials, including abrasive types, with a temperature of ≤250°C.

2.Large Conveying Capacity: Available in specifications from NE15 to NE800, with lifting capacities ranging from 10 to 800 m³/h.

3.Low Drive Power: Gravity-fed feeding and unloading, combined with large-capacity buckets, result in lower drive power requirements—25%-35% of that of ring chain elevators.

4.Long Service Life: The design minimizes material compression and collisions, preventing wear. High-strength, wear-resistant plate chains extend the lifespan of both the chain and buckets, often exceeding 5 years.

5.High Lifting Height: Achieves heights up to 50 m due to moderate chain speed and stable operation.

6.Good Sealing: Reduces environmental pollution.

7.High Operational Reliability: Advanced design ensures fault-free operation exceeding 30,000 hours.

8.Convenient Operation and Maintenance: Fewer wear parts simplify operation and maintenance.

9.Compact Mechanical Size: Smaller size compared to other elevators with equivalent lifting capacities.

10.High Structural Precision: The casing is formed through folding and welding, providing rigidity and an attractive appearance.

11.Low Operating Costs: Cost-effective solution for material handling.
