Fertilizer granule bucket elevator

Used in fertilizer manufacturing plants to transport fertilizer granules from the production line to the packaging or storage area, made of durable materials to withstand the corrosive nature of fertilizers.

Material particle size: 25-70mm

Lifting capacity: 5.4-40 tons/hour

Lifting height: ≤30 meters

Lifting speed: 1.4-2 m/s

Application: It can be used in fertilizer production plants to transport fertilizer particles from the production line to the packaging or storage area, or to lift fertilizer from the ground to high-level storage tanks, silos, fertilization equipment, etc.

Introduction

Fertilizer granule bucket elevator is used in fertilizer production plants to transport raw materials, intermediate products and finished fertilizers, or to move fertilizers from storage silos to loading areas. Various capacities are available to meet different production needs from small-scale to large-scale operations.

Fertilizer granule bucket elevator is usually composed of lifting frame, lifting bucket, transmission part and unloading part. It can adjust the conveying capacity by controlling the speed of the hoist, and is suitable for vertical conveying and unloading operations of granular materials such as fertilizers. This hoist has simple structure and reliable operation, and is widely used in fields such as fertilizer production and storage.

Application

Fertilizer granule bucket elevator is mainly suitable for the following specific occasions:

1. Fertilizer production plant: used to transport raw materials, intermediate products or finished granular fertilizers from one production unit to another, such as from a mixer to a granulator, or from a granulator to a packaging machine.

2. Storage facilities: used to transport fertilizer granules from the ground to storage equipment in a storage bin, such as a storage tank or silo.

3. Fertilizer packaging line: used to transport packaged fertilizer granules from the packaging machine to the next process on the packaging line to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the production line.

4. Fertilizer batching system: transport fertilizer raw materials of different formulas to ensure the uniformity and accuracy of the mixed materials.

5. Agricultural field: can be used to transport fertilizer granules from storage warehouses to fertilization equipment, such as sprayers or irrigation systems, for farmland fertilization operations.

Note: Fertilizer granule bucket elevators are usually suitable for fertilizer pellets with a particle size between 1mm and 20mm. For smaller particles (such as powdered fertilizer), it may be necessary to select a specially designed elevator.

Fertilizer Granule Bucket Elevator For Organic Fertilizer Line

Working principle

In the hopper, the fertilizer particles enter the elevator from the discharge port through the action of self-weight and gravity, and then are loaded into the elevator bucket by the bucket plate. The angle and shape of the bucket plate make the granular material sticky during the lifting process of the elevator and prevent the material from flowing back. When the hoist is lifted to a certain height, the hopper reaches the discharge port at the top, and the granular material is discharged from the discharge port to complete the lifting process.

Features and Benefits

High Capacity: Capable of handling large quantities of fertilizer granules, suitable for industrial-scale fertilizer production.

Vertical Conveying: Capable of transporting granular materials vertically, optimizing space utilization in fertilizer processing plants.

Gentle Handling: Designed to minimize product degradation and breakage during the lifting process, ensuring the integrity of fertilizer granules.

Customizable Design: Bucket elevators can be customized to specific requirements, such as different capacities, heights, and material handling needs.

Efficient Operation: Helps streamline the fertilizer handling process, improve overall production efficiency, and reduce labor.

Structure

1. Bucket (bucket cup): Installed on the elevator chain plate, it is used to load fertilizer granules and lift them to the top.

2. Chain plate: the chain connected to the bucket cups, which circulates on the elevator, and continuously drives the bucket cups to raise the material.

3. Driving device: usually a motor, used to drive the chain to run and drive the bucket cup to rise.

4. Feeding port: the entrance for feeding fertilizer granules into the hoist.

5. Feeding port: used to release the fertilizer granules lifted by the elevator for further transportation or storage.

6. Rack and shield: provide support and protection to ensure the stable and safe operation of the equipment.

Price

The price of fertilizer granule bucket elevator varies depending on factors such as specific models, specifications, manufacturers, configurations, and market supply and demand. Generally speaking, the price of a bucket elevator for fertilizer pellets generally ranges from several hundred to several thousand dollars.
