The bucket elevator is a continuous conveying machine for vertically lifting materials by utilizing a series of hoppers uniformly and fixedly connected to an endless traction member, and the bucket elevator is divided into three types, namely a loop chain, a plate chain and a belt, for vertically or nearly vertically conveying bulk materials upwards by utilizing a series of hoppers fixedly connected to a traction chain or a rubber belt. The bucket elevator is suitable for lifting from a low position to a high position, and supplies materials are automatically and continuously operated and conveyed upwards after being put into the hopper through the vibrating table. The conveying speed can be adjusted according to the conveying amount, the lifting height can be selected as required, and the hopper is designed and manufactured automatically; the hopper scoops up the material from the storage below, and as the conveyor belt or chain is lifted to the top, it bypasses the top wheel and turns downward, and the bucket elevator pours the material into the receiving trough. The belt of the bucket elevator with belt drive is generally made of rubber belt and is mounted on the lower or upper driving roller and the upper and lower direction-changing rollers. Chain-driven bucket elevators are typically provided with two parallel drive chains, a pair of drive sprockets above or below the chain, and a pair of direction-changing sprockets below or above the chain.
