Elevating Equipment Supplier

Elevating Equipment is widely used in fertilizer production, building materials processing, and various bulk material handling systems. As part of continuous conveying systems, Elevating Equipment ensures stable vertical transportation of granules, powders, and mixed materials, supporting automated production lines with consistent throughput and controlled material flow. In relevant projects designed or supplied by Nantong Alisen Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., elevating solutions are commonly applied in compound fertilizer lines, organic fertilizer lines, BB fertilizer systems, and building materials plants, forming an essential link between crushing, mixing, drying, granulating, cooling, and packaging stages.

1. Working Principles of Elevating Equipment

Different types of elevating systems share the goal of moving materials vertically, but they operate based on distinct mechanisms:

● Bucket Elevator Principle

• Materials enter the inlet hopper, are picked up by uniformly spaced buckets, and are lifted along a vertical casing.

• Power is transmitted through a head pulley or sprocket, discharging materials via centrifugal or gravity methods.

• Suitable for powders, small granules, and non-sticky materials.

● Chain Elevator Principle

• Utilizes steel chains to drive buckets; designed for heavy-duty or high-temperature materials.

• Ensures stable operation with high tensile strength and extended service life.

● Belt Elevator Principle

• Uses rubber belts or reinforced belts to drive buckets.

• Offers smooth operation and lower noise, suitable for light to medium materials.

2. Typical Application Scenarios

Elevating Equipment is commonly implemented in:

• Compound fertilizer production lines: for feeding raw materials into granulators or distributing finished granules to cooling and screening equipment.

• Organic fertilizer systems: for lifting fermented and crushed materials into metering or mixing equipment.

• Bulk blending (BB) fertilizer lines: for vertical transfer of blended materials before packaging.

• Building materials plants: transporting cement, sand, fly ash, limestone powder, or gypsum.

• Chemical and mining industries: lifting non-abrasive or moderately abrasive materials.

Projects supported by Nantong Alisen Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. often integrate elevating systems with rotary kilns, dryers, granulators, and dust collectors to form complete automated production lines.

5. Maintenance Guidelines

To ensure safe, efficient, long-term operation:

Routine Inspection

• Check bucket fastening points and belt/chain tension weekly.

• Inspect inlet and discharge ports for wear or obstruction.

Lubrication

• Lubricate bearings, sprockets, and chains according to manufacturer intervals.

Alignment & Tension Adjustment

• Maintain belt alignment to prevent edge wear.

• Adjust chain tension to avoid skipping or overloading.

Wear Part Replacement

• Replace worn buckets, belts, or chains before failure.

• Inspect casing and head section for friction-induced wear.

6. FAQs for Elevating Equipment

Q1: How to select the right Elevating Equipment for my material?

Choose equipment based on material density, abrasiveness, particle size, flowability, and temperature.

Q2: Can Elevating Equipment handle sticky or moist materials?

Standard bucket elevators are not suitable; chain-type or specially coated buckets may be used depending on the material.

Q3: What is the typical lifting height?

Common lifting heights range from 3–40 meters depending on model specifications.

Q4: How is Elevating Equipment integrated into a fertilizer production line?

It is positioned between mixers, granulators, dryers, coolers, or packaging machines to achieve continuous vertical transfer.

Q5: What industries commonly use this equipment?

Fertilizer, building materials, chemical processing, mining, and agricultural storage.
