measurements:
Discharge height 17.000 mm / conveying-capacity 50 to/h sand and gravel

project scope:
Belt Bucket Elevator
project description:
The task has been to replace a Sand-Gravel Elevator in a concrete plant while simultaneously increasing it´s conveying capacity, renew the elevator platforms and adopt all conveyors before and after the new elevator.
The challenge has been that the dimensions had to be replicated with absolute precision, otherwise all fastenings for the elevator (beams within the mixing plant), access to the elevator and all other conveyors woud have to be modified or relocated.
The millimeter precision worked well
In addition, the elevator´s quality was improved by backing it with HARDOX wear protection in the elevator-head and elevator-feet sections. The inlet and the outlet were also lined with ceramic wear plates.
By selecting a different, higher-quality bucket type, we were able to comply with the goal of increasing the conveying capacity. A 50% reduction in the time required to unload trucks was archieved.
State-of-the-art safety features, such as misalignment monitors, speed monitors, etc. ensure additional workplace safety, operational stability and error prevention.
This, combined with the increased conveying-capacity, results in a rapid return on investment.
