Bucket Elevator

Bucket elevators are widely used for vertical conveying in mining, cement, metals processing and power generation. Buckets attached to a circulating chain or belt lift material to a higher level. Wear parts are concentrated in the chain or belt and bucket systems, which operate continuously in dusty, abrasive conditions.

Materials for similarly named parts may differ by OEM, machine model and operating conditions. Confirm the machine model, OEM drawing number and measured dimensions before ordering or manufacture.

Material Information

  • Mn13Cr2 manganese steel: a work-hardening material for buckets subject to high impact.
  • Hardox 400/500: candidate wear-resistant steel grades. Confirm the hardness range, thickness and fabrication requirements against the material certificate and part drawing.
  • 42CrMo: a candidate alloy steel for sprockets and pins. Specify the quench-and-temper condition, hardness and fatigue requirements on the part drawing.
  • Case-hardening alloy steel: a candidate material for pins. Surface hardness, effective case depth and core toughness must meet the chain design.

Brand Applicability

BEUMER belt and chain bucket elevators; identify other installed equipment by its nameplate and chain or belt specifications.

Industry Applications

Cement clinker conveying, ore lifting, power plant coal handling, grain elevation, fertilizer conveying and metallurgical coke handling

Materials for similarly named parts may differ by OEM, machine model and operating conditions. Confirm the machine model, OEM drawing number and measured dimensions before ordering or manufacture.
