Bucket Elevator

A Bucket Elevator is a necessary unit for handling materials that are generally required in the shot blasting and sand blasting industries to vertically move and lift the abrasive media, such as steel shots, steel grit, aluminum oxide, and garnet. It is, therefore, an important component of various machines like the airless shot blasting machine, blast room, tumble blast machine, hanger-type shot blasting machine, and roller conveyor shot blasting machine.

The principal function of a bucket elevator is to keep the abrasive materials circulating continuously, which not only lessens the downtime but also keeps the overall efficiency of the blasting machine at the highest level. We at Airo Shot Blast Equipments, are the manufacturers of bucket elevators that are of high-performance, built with heavy-duty construction, made of wear-resistant materials, and equipped with an advanced drive system to assure their longevity, smooth operation, and minimal abrasive spillage.

Working of Bucket Elevator

The working of a bucket elevator in a shot blasting machine is simply very effective. The abrasive media coming from the blasting chamber or machine hopper falls into the boot section of the bucket elevator, where buckets specially made for the purpose and attached to a belt or chain pick up the material. These buckets then carry the abrasives vertically to the top section, known as the head pulley, where the media is released by centrifugal or continuous action into the separator unit.

After that, the cleaned abrasive is re-supplied to the blasting machine for use again. This closed-loop system not only saves the abrasives but also assures cost efficiency over time. The bucket elevator system in airless shot blasting machines and blast rooms is instrumental in recycling the abrasives like steel grit, steel shots, copper slag, and garnet, which otherwise would need to be replenished frequently.

Advantages of the Bucket Elevator

By employing a bucket elevator in blasting work, it is possible to enjoy several performance and cost benefits, of which the most important ones are the following:

• Efficient Media Handling: Quick recovery and reuse of the abrasives.
• Low Maintenance: Constructed with heavy-duty materials for a long service life.
• Reduced Abrasive Spillage: Prevents media loss and facilitates cost savings.
• Versatile Compatibility: Can be used with steel shots, steel grit, aluminum oxide, copper slag, and garnet.
• Higher Productivity: Allow blasting machines to be used continuously without downtime.
• Durability: Resistant to wear and is suitable for harsh, abrasive environments.
• Cost Savings: Reduces abrasive consumption as well as machine downtime.
