Description for the chain slings.

The bucket elevator casings are selfsupporting, but they require horizontal guides at least every 15 meters and below the elevator head. The bucket elevator head comprises a lower section with doors to access the adjustable discharge plate, and braced bearing mountings, for the pedestal bearings which support the drive shaft, the shaft exit points use grease filled radial shaft seals.Drawing Chain type bucket elevatorsThe upper sections comprise a multipart removable hood with an inspection flap. A drive platform is mounted on the side of the lower part of the head for supporting a wide variety of commercially available drives. If required a maintenance platform and or an overhead support/ service beam can be fitted if required. An elevator drive normally consists of a geared motor unit, which is normally connected to a frequency controller for maintenance purposes. For higher power requirements, we recommend a drive unit with a bevel spur gearbox, and standard motor optionally with auxiliary drive. Starting characteristics can be optimized by a hydraulic clutch or an electric soft start.
