Contact SupplierA bucket elevator is a mechanism used for lifting or hauling materials in the vertical direction. Although the direction of lifting is mostly from down to up, in some situations it may be used in the opposite direction. The elevator mechanism consists of a bucket to carry the material, a belt for the motion of the bucket, a motor to drive the belt and various external equipment to load the bucket with the fresh raw material and to dispose the waste material from the bucket. Based on their applications, buckets are closely spaced if used for carrying non-fragile materials and are widely spaced for carrying fragile materials. Monitoring the belt tension and providing protection to the device is of paramount importance. The bucket elevators reduce manual labor by manifold as it eliminates the need to walk up and down to transport the raw material. It comes in handy mainly during construction work where laborers have to travel all the way down to the ground floor to get materials.
