Compact wear-resistant leak-proof energy-efficient shallow DQ Type Elevator Bucket

Product Description

The DS Series Shallow Elevator Bucket (also known as shallow-type elevator bucket) is a critical conveying component used in bucket elevators, primarily designed for vertical or inclined transportation of powdered, granular, and small lump materials. Compared to deep-type buckets, shallow buckets have a smaller capacity, making them suitable for materials with good flowability, low density, or those prone to spillage.

Typically constructed from high-strength plastics (such as nylon or polyethylene), stainless steel, carbon steel, or wear-resistant alloys, shallow buckets are securely mounted onto elevator belts or chains via bolts or rivets. They operate in a continuous cycle with the drive system to facilitate material loading, lifting, and discharge.

Key Features

(1) Structural Design Features

• Shallow-Bucket Design: Reduced bucket depth optimizes material flow, minimizes residue, and enhances discharge efficiency.

• Lightweight Construction: Lowers operational load on the elevator, reducing energy consumption.

• Optimized Bucket Geometry: Wider opening facilitates smooth loading/discharge and prevents material clogging.

• Flexible Mounting Options: Supports continuous or spaced arrangements to accommodate diverse conveying needs.

(2) Material Properties

• Plastic Buckets (Nylon/Polyethylene): Corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and low-noise, ideal for food, chemical, and hygienic industries.

  
  

(3) Performance Advantages

• High Discharge Efficiency: Shallow design ensures complete material ejection via centrifugal/gravitational force, minimizing carryover.

• Reduced Wear: Optional wear-resistant liners/special coatings extend service life in abrasive conditions.

• Stable Operation: Engineered bucket profile minimizes material spillage and dust generation.

• Easy Maintenance: Modular design allows individual bucket replacement, lowering downtime and repair costs.

Applications

(1) Grain & Agricultural Processing

• Grain Handling: Vertical lifting of wheat, corn, rice, and other granular crops.

• Feed Industry: Elevating pelletized or powdered animal feed.

• Oilseed Processing: Transporting soybeans, peanuts, and other oil-bearing materials.

(2) Food & Pharmaceutical Industries

• Food Ingredients: Hygienic conveying of flour, sugar, salt, milk powder, and starch.

• Pharmaceuticals: GMP-compliant handling of medicinal powders, granules, and excipients.

(3) Chemical & Plastics Sectors

• Chemical Raw Materials: Safe transfer of soda ash, PVC powder, fertilizers, and dyes.

• Plastic Granules: Efficient elevation of PE, PP, ABS, and other polymer particles.

(4) Environmental & Recycling

• Biomass Pellets: Vertical conveying of wood chips, straw pellets, and organic residues.

• Recycled Plastics: Upcycling of crushed plastic flakes and regrind materials.
