Bucket Elevator

  Series SL12 Thru SL48
 

Elevator Head
Structural steel drive and bearing frame protects head components.
External-mounted double roller bearings support the head pulley for long life.
Shaft seals trap suspended dust inside for cleaner operation.
Crowned and re-lagged head pulley ensures positive torque transfer and minimizes belt alignment adjustment.
Three inspection doors allow inspection without removing the enclosure bonnet.
Patented six-position atmospheric vent adjusts for bucket-induced turbulence.

 
 
 

 

Intermediate Legging
Automated machine fixturing and robot welding produces perfectly aligned leg casings without torsional twist.
Double well design reduces wind load (only on series SL20 or larger).
One legging section for each elevator has an inspection cover for easier belt and bucket installation.
Break leg section allows for a smaller boot pulley, lower position of the hoppers (only on series SL36 or larger).

 
   

Boot
Non-ferrous seal slides between boot housing and takeup plate to prevent corrosive seizing.
Lip seal around boot shafts help keep dust inside the boot.
Sealed roller bearings under the cleanout slide are easy to remove.
External mounted bearings support the boot pulley shalf.
Two screw-type adjustable takeups control belt alignment and tension.
Automatic, gravity-type belt takeups for belt tension control are standard on series SL48 models.
Inlet pocket options are on the upside, the downside, or both sides.

 
   

Self-Cleaning Boots
The movement of the entire boot applies leg belt tension to maintain close clearance between the bucket and the round boot bottom.
Felt-sealed, telescoping leg sections allow the boot to act as the belt takeup.
The boot pulley may be adjusted vertically to fine-tune bucket clearance on the boot bottom.
Boot bottom hinges open for cleanout.
Design allows the leg assembly to be supported remotely from the boot, allowing free vertical movement of the boot housing.

 
   

Bulk Material Handling
Molded polyethylene style-CC buckets are sized to the application.
Lightweight polyethylene provides excellent durability and wear.
Bucket is non-sparking.
Reinforced, static-conducting PVC belting is sized to the application.

 
     

Drives
Optional SMC motor and drive are sized to the application.
Choice of sprocket and chain (low-speed) or V-belt (high-speed) drives.
Fully enclosed guards protect chain and V-belts.
V-belt drives are sized by horsepower with a minimum of two belts.
