3–12 m³/h Z Type Bucket Elevator Granular Hopper Conveyor

Z Type Bucket Elevator Product Introduction

The Z type bucket elevator is a versatile conveying equipment that elevates materials from low to high positions with high efficiency, making it essential for industries such as cement, coal, gypsum, limestone, dry clay, food, and chemical processing. With a horizontal length of 1.2–40 meters and vertical lift up to 100 meters, it handles materials gently without causing damage, reducing scrap and waste. The hopper is available in high-strength plastic, carbon steel, or stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance, high temperature tolerance, and durability. It suits manufacturers needing reliable, fully enclosed, hygienic bulk material transportation with system linkage capabilities.

Working Principle

Materials enter the hopper at the bottom and are captured by the buckets on a moving belt. The belt lifts the material vertically, then discharges it at the desired horizontal or inclined exit. The elevator can operate with single or multiple feeding/discharge points and is compatible with vibration feeders for integrated system operation.
