BUCKET ELEVATOR WITH CENTRAL CHAIN TYPE BWZ

The prominent features of the AUMUND Bucket Elevator type BWZ are the forged central chain and a close bucket spacing. The bulk material is fully taken by the buckets and discharged in a continuous manner to the subsequent conveying systems. The forged chains feature labyrinth seals and a lubricated bolt and bush connection. The symmetrical design of the chain links, which are fabricated from high-quality forgings, contributes to a long service life. The buckets are fixed to the chain by means of brackets connected with the chain bolt in a loose fitting. Transmission of vibrations is considerably reduced and the mounting of buckets is simple and easy.

Head of Double Bucket Elevator

DOUBLE BUCKET ELEVATOR TYPE BWZ-D

Higher kiln capacities and consequently new grinding processes in the cement industry require Bucket Elevators with conveying capacities of more than 1,800 m3/h. AUMUND meets these latest requirements with the Double Bucket Elevator Type BWZ-D. By combining two standard Bucket Elevators with central chain, the conveying capacity can be doubled. The drive head illustration shows the two bucket strands on a common drive shaft, which is supported in pillow-block bearings. Twin drives are installed in order to provide the high drive power required. The two bucket strands are arranged in one and the same casing. The chutes in the feeding area direct the material to the bucket strands by way of a material flow divider.

Belt Bucket Elevators handling raw meal

BELT BUCKET ELEVATOR TYPE BWG

Outstanding features of the AUMUND Belt Bucket Elevators are high lifts and conveying capacities. These high-performance bucket elevators are designed for continuous operation with low maintenance requirements. All drive pulleys feature exchangeable friction linings. The segments can be easily exchanged without opening the belt. In the elevator boot a bar-type drum ensures the guided return of the belt. Precise parallel guidance is obtained with the parallel tensioning device. The bucket design and the close bucket spacing are proven assets allowing continuous material take-up and discharge. The buckets are fastened to the elevator belt with flat head screws of special design engaging in the longitudinal and cross steel cords. Utmost resistance to tearing is thus guaranteed for the buckets. Rubber strips are fitted between bucket and belt.

Steel-reinforced belt
With their low thickness, the belts allow to use smaller pulley diameters. Depending on the strength class, longitudinal ropes with a diameter of 3.1 up to 5.4 mm and arranged at a distance of 4.75 to 8.8 mm are applied as traction elements. Together with the additional cross ropes, they form a rigid network structure ensuring the high resistance to tearing of the bucket fixation screws. Depending on the strength class, the cross ropes are either provided on one or on both sides.

Belt splicing
Belt splicing is made by clamping the steel ropes in a casting compound box. The rope ends are connected by means of clamps and then cast with a special casting compound. This ensures reliable splicing with no chance for the belt ends to escape
