| Description:
This rare title consists
of a comprehensive set of notes to use in the design and
fabrication of bucket elevators. The design process is
explained step by step including detailed clarification of the
necessary mathematics. A worked example is provided to show
how the design is done.
Mike Sondalini also
covers some useful topics in the care of your conveyor system such
as protecting the bearings from dust and water, protecting the
electric motor and tuning the belt on elevators and conveyors.
This useful advice is applicable to all bulk material handling
equipment.
The author gives valuable
knowledge about his experiences with bucket elevators. Bucket
elevators lift bulk materials from one level to another and
function well when designed properly for the duty, and are used as
designed. Since bucket elevators are used on powders,
granules, grain, chip shaped products and lumpy materials,
problems can occur. Mike notes possible remedies in his white
paper.
