Bucket Elevators
Bucket Elevators
Bucket elevators for packing of bags offer several benefits. The buckets are food grade and made of polypropylene and fitted with bronze inserts, which allow easy movement for the stainless steel pins. The bucket size is 405 x 100 x 80 mm deep, giving sufficient volume to carry large capacities of material. Working: the distribution system works in synchronisation with the MH weigher and the FFS bag maker; on getting the signal from the MH weigher (MHW), the vibratory cross feeder (VCF) starts feeding the material to it. This ensures that the MHW will only get the material when required. This is regulated by directing a signal from the MHW to the solid state relay, which further activates the VCF. A photocell sensor installed at the VCF further activates the pneumatic cylinder fitted in the distribution system, which again ensures that the VCF gets the material only when it is empty. This ensures that the material drops only when there is actual requirement and all the machines installed get material as required.
- Space saving ? one system for multiple bag-makers
- Replacement of extra manpower ? one operator for all-makes no individual operators required
- Prevention of spilling/pilferage at in-feed/drop
- Untouched by human hand/outside intervention ? covered on top and sides
- Savings on power consumption, maintenance and floor space because one elevator replaces multiple conveyors
- Modular design for future expansion/conversion into smaller conveyors
- Bucket, if worn, can be replaced with ease and virtually no downtime or replacement costs; and
- Mechanical torque limiter to prevent any damage to system in case of any incident
