Bucket Elevators Conveyors And Gates
TITAN bucket elevators transport grain granules such as paddy, rice and wheat, and are also used for oil, food, feed and chemical elevation.
What This Machine Does
TITAN bucket elevators transport grain granules such as paddy, rice and wheat, and are also used for oil, food, feed and chemical elevation. The elevator is composed of base, nose, cylinder, belt and adjuster, and it takes shallow, deep or bottomless buckets depending on the material being moved.
Key Benefits
- Low crush increase rate because the elevator runs at low speed
- High efficiency with low energy consumption
- Compact structure with stable operation and low noise
- Automatic bucket belt tensioning to keep the bucket line true
- Convenient installation, operation, cleaning and maintenance
Problems It Solves
- Grain crushed between buckets and boot at high running speeds
- Belt slipping because tension is not maintained
- Elevator boots that are difficult to clean between products
- Conveying capacity that does not match the section it serves
Who It Is For
- Rice and flour mills
- Grain storage and handling terminals
- Feed plants moving raw material
- Food and chemical plants elevating granular product
Application Scenarios
- Filling and emptying silo batteries
- Conveying between cleaning, milling and packing sections
- Moving grain, oil, food, feed and chemical products
- Routing material with gates between several destinations
Technical Features
- Base, nose, cylinder, belt and adjuster construction
- Shallow, depth or bottomless buckets according to the material
- Direction transformable along the plant location and process
- Low speed elevating to avoid broken rice
- TISC scraper chain conveyors supplied in the same package
Bucket Elevators Conveyors And Gates Model Table
Figures below are taken from the TITAN model sheets. Where a figure depends on the crop or the contamination level it is stated that way rather than averaged.
| Product | Bucket elevators, TISC scraper chain conveyors and gates |
|---|---|
| Materials handled | Paddy, rice, wheat, oil, food, feed and chemical products |
| Bucket types | Shallow, depth or bottomless |
| Belt tensioning | Automatic bucket belt tension device |
| Construction | Base, nose, cylinder, belt and adjuster |
| Key feature | Low crush increase rate at low elevating speed |
How This Machine Is Built
Quality Control
- Belt tracking checked with the automatic tension device fitted
- Bucket spacing and fixing verified
- Run test before packing
Customisation Options
- Bucket type selected for the material
- Elevator height and capacity per plant layout
- Chain conveyor and gate configuration for the routing required
Use Guide
- Select bucket type from the material rather than from the catalogue default
- Check belt tension and tracking during commissioning and after the first weeks
- Clean the boot section between different products
- Size the elevator with the machine it feeds, not after it
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| High speed elevators | Low speed elevating is specified to avoid broken rice, which matters more in a rice mill than raw speed. |
|---|---|
| Pneumatic conveying | Mechanical elevating uses less energy per tonne on the vertical lift duty. |
