Chain bucket elevator type PKU

APPLICATION

Bucket elevators are designed for the vertical transfer between two levels of products such as: bulk materials, frozen fruit and vegetables, etc.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

The PK bucket elevator consists of a body, which is both a transportation space and a supporting structure. The product delivered to the loading hopper in the lower part of the conveyor by means of the buckets is transported vertically to the correct height, where by centrifugal force the buckets are emptied into the chute. A lid is placed in the lower part of the body to allow any product residue to be removed from inside the body. Both the intake and the discharge of the unit are matched to the equipment in the production line where the bucket elevator is located. Depending on the location and technology of the production line in which the machine is located, the geared motor can be fitted with a protective cover. The machine components in contact with the product are made of austenitic acid-resistant steel and elastomers approved for contact with food products. The elevator is driven by a geared motor with a power output depending on the size and capacity of the device.
