>Buckets – Attached to a belt or chain, these containers scoop and transport bulk materials vertically. Available in different shapes and sizes to suit specific materials.
>Head Section – The top part of the elevator where the material is discharged. It includes a pulley or sprocket system to guide the belt or chain.
>Boot Section – The bottom part of the elevator where material is loaded into the buckets. It often houses the drive system.
>Drive System – Includes an electric motor, gearbox, and drive pulley or sprocket that powers the movement of the belt or chain.
>Belt or Chain – A continuous loop that carries the buckets and is driven by the motor. The belt is often used for lighter materials, while a chain is used for heavier or more abrasive materials.
>Tensioning System – Maintains proper tension in the belt or chain to ensure smooth operation and prevent slippage.
>Sprockets or Pulleys – Rotating components that drive and guide the chain or belt.
>Casing – An enclosed structure that houses the buckets, belt, or chain, ensuring the material stays contained during vertical transportation.
>Discharge Chute – A chute at the head section that guides the discharged material to the next processing point or storage area.
>Bearing & Shaft – Bearings support the rotating components, and the shaft connects the sprockets or pulleys to ensure smooth operation.
>Inspection Doors – Allow for maintenance and inspection of internal components, such as the buckets, chains, and bearings.
>Cleaning Mechanism (Optional) – A system designed to clean the buckets during operation to prevent material buildup and contamination.
