A bucket elevator is mainly composed of traction parts, a drum (or sprocket) tensioning device, a feeding and unloading device, a driving device, and a hopper. A series of small buckets (called hoppers) are arranged on the traction piece, which moves up with the traction piece and turns over after reaching to discharge the material.

After the hopper is often in the back (wall) fixed on the belt or chain, double chain bucket elevator sometimes to the sidewalls of the hopper fixed on the chain, tilt bucket elevator in order to change the height of the material elevating, adapt to the needs of different production conditions, hopper central trough a detachable section, can make the hoist elongation can be shortened.

The bracket is also retractable and secured with screws. The bracket is vertical and inclined, and the inclined bracket is fixed in the middle of the tank. Sometimes the rack is mounted on movable wheels for ease of movement.

      A vertical bucket elevator is mainly composed of a hopper, traction belt (or chain), driving device housing, and inlet, discharge port. When working, the conveying material is evenly fed by the feeding port, driven by the driving drum, the hopper fixed on the conveyor belt scraping material rises with the conveyor belt, when it rises to the top of the drive roll, the hopper begins to turn, under the action of centrifugal force or gravity, the material is discharged from the unloading port, into the next process.

The main components of the bucket elevator are the hopper and traction parts. Hopper is the material holding component of the hoist, according to the nature of conveying materials and the structural characteristics of the hoist, the hopper can be divided into three different forms, that is, the cylindrical bottom of the deep bucket, shallow bucket, and angular bucket. Bucket elevator traction parts can be two kinds of belt and chain, belt and belt conveyor the same. The hopper is fixedly connected to the traction belt with special head screws and elastic gaskets. The bandwidth is 35~40mm larger than the width of the hopper.
