Description
EHN-type Bucket Elevators are specialized for vertical elevation of aggregates and minerals in continuous heavy-duty applications. They are designed to operate at low speed and are manufactured from hot-galvanized carbon steel. The machines consist of a head and a foot section which include solidly mounted roller bearings as support for the bucket carrier belt, a variable number of trunkings, an intermediate trunking section for bucket assembly and inspection, along with all the other intermediate casings. Heavy-duty buckets manufactured from abrasion-resistant mild steel according to DIN15234 offer extended durability versus the highly abrasive materials handled.
The wide range of options and accessories enable a great variety of applications of EHN-type Bucket Elevators providing highly efficient state-of-the-art performance in compliance with the relevant standards.
Function
EHN-type Bucket Elevators are used for vertical elevation of aggregates such as gravel, carbonate, lime, limestone, sand, minerals and similar materials dry, powdery, abrasive, non packing materials having particle size of up to 50 mm.
Material is introduced into a loading hopper which is included in the foot section. From there material is continuously picked up by appropriately shaped buckets which are fixed at an equal distance to an endless belt that rotates around a foot and a head roller wheel. The buckets are discharged through an outlet spout in the head section by centrifugal force after having passed the upper roller wheel. EHN Bucket Elevators are used in material handling and storage plants, as well as in different types of material processing plants.
EHN Bucket Elevators are used in handling and storage plants, concrete batching plants, cement mills, lime and gypsum factories, dry building material processing plants and asphalt plants.
