The bucket elevator plate chain consists of multiple chain plates which are connected by links. It has high bearing strength and is capable of carrying the weight of the bucket and materials. Moreover, it has good abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in the cement industry, mining industry, chemical industry and other industries, and is the key component of material elevation and conveying.
Structural Features of Bucket Elevator Plate Chain
• Chain Plate Design:
The bucket elevator plate chain is usually composed of multiple chain plates connected together. These chain plates are generally made of high-quality metal materials, such as high-strength alloy steel. Their shapes are mostly rectangular or slightly curved, which can better connect and cooperate with the hopper and other components, and also withstand the weight of the materials and the tension during the operation process.
• Connection:
The chain plates are connected with each other by pins, sleeves and other connectors. The precision and strength of these connectors are crucial to the reliability of the whole plate chain. A reasonable connection design ensures that the chain operates flexibly and smoothly and reduces the jamming and wear phenomena.
Performance Characteristics
• High-strength Bearing Capacity:
It is mainly used for lifting various materials. Hence, it needs to possess a strong bearing capacity to withstand the weight of the hopper filled with materials as well as its own weight, ensuring no breakage or other faults occur during vertical or inclined lifting and guaranteeing the continuity of material conveying.
• Good Abrasion Resistance:
During the long-term operation, the plate chain frequently rubs against the sprocket, the hopper and other parts. Therefore, its surface usually undergoes special treatments like heat treatment to improve abrasion resistance and prolong the service life.
• Corrosion Resistance:
When conveying corrosive materials (such as chemical raw materials, etc.) or working in humid, dusty and other harsh environments, the material of the plate chain is selected to have a certain degree of corrosion resistance or undergoes corresponding anti-corrosion treatments, such as zinc plating, anti-corrosive paint coating, etc., to ensure the stability of its performance.
