+Working Principle

1. Hopper loading: The material is loaded into the hopper located on the chain from the feeding port. The hopper is usually fixed on a chain, which surrounds the driving wheel and the driven wheel.
2. Drive start: The deceleration motor starts and the chain is driven by the driving wheel to start running. The hopper on the chain moves along a specific track.
3. Material lifting: As the chain moves, the material carried by the hopper rises vertically. The special feature of the Z-type bucket elevator is that it undergoes at least one 90 degree turn during vertical lifting, forming a "Z" shaped lifting path.
4. Flipped unloading: When the hopper reaches the top and turns the bend, it will flip and dump the material into the designated unloading port or receiving equipment.
5. Return cycle: Under the action of gravity, the empty hopper returns to the bottom of the machine along the track on the other side, reloads the material, and starts a new cycle.

+Characteristics of  Z Type Bucket Elevator

1. Compact structure and high space utilization: The Z-type bucket elevator is designed to be compact and can achieve efficient material transportation in limited space, making it particularly suitable for situations with limited space.

2. Flexible conveying direction: able to combine horizontal and vertical conveying to adapt to different process layout requirements.

3. Fully enclosed structure, pollution-free: Its enclosed casing design can effectively prevent material leakage during transportation, reduce environmental pollution, and also protect materials from external pollution.

4. Reduce material damage: The hopper design is reasonable, and the material damage rate during transportation is low, especially suitable for conveying fragile materials.

5. Adjustable conveying speed: The conveying speed can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the material and production needs to improve conveying efficiency.

6. Smooth operation and low noise: The equipment runs smoothly with low noise, which is beneficial for improving the working environment.

7. Easy to operate and maintain: The Z-type bucket elevator is easy to operate, maintain and clean, and reduces the cost of use.

8. Wide applicability: Suitable for conveying various materials, such as solid and granular materials in industries such as food, chemical, and pharmaceutical.

9. High degree of automation: It can be combined with automated production lines to achieve automatic cutting and multi-point feeding, improving the level of production automation.

10. High temperature and low temperature resistance performance: Some models of Z-type bucket elevators are made of special materials that can adapt to material transportation in high or low temperature environments.
