Bucket Elevator
Bucket Elevator
Bucket elevator systems are a simple and reliable method of transferring bulk product from one production process to another.
Gough’s elevator systems use a continuous line of swinging pendulum buckets to transfer large volumes of product.
The systems can be arranged in many different layouts to deliver product where it is needed.
Equipment Description
The patented design of the Gough Swinglink® Bucket Elevators work by carrying product from an inlet point to a discharge point in an open bucket.
Product is static in the bottom of the bucket throughout the process, eliminating the possibility of damage during travel. A continuous line of open, overlapping buckets move past the inlet, where a controlled and consistent stream of product is fed, partially filling each bucket. The buckets are moved through the bucket circuit on two chains.
The Gough Swinglink® Bucket Elevator (GBE) has over many years proved a reliable, easy to maintain and effective solution for many types of material conveying. It was first designed and patented by Gough Engineering back in the 1970’s
As the Gough design team design the elevator specification, each solution can be unique but has advantages over other systems on the market, namely; designed to convey bulk, dry, free flowing granular product and powders in a continuous and contained manner
- gentle handling of delicate materials is achieved to maintain product integrity, through to abrasive and course aggregates and minerals.
- a drive system positioned near the ground, rather than on the upper section for easy of access.
- the drive system can be disconnected and manually controlled for maintenance purposes.
- easy removable tray systems.
- viewing ports and removable panels on request.
- patented bucket design for delivering your material reliably.
Information
The elevator system, can be designed by Gough in many configurations such as:
- J,
- Z
- true Z or vertical,
- T,
- C,
- incline,
- incline horizontal,
- loop systems,
- stair/step configuration for up or down,
- straight horizontal.
If you need an elevator with mobile capabilities this is also possible to supply.
Any configuration can be designed to not just move material from A to B, or from one level to another, but through and around other objects/production systems. These configurations also can be developed for multiple inlet and discharge positions and even a travel/ adjustable discharge position.
