Working Principle of Plate Chain Bucket Elevator
The plate chain bucket elevator is mainly composed of the head, the casing, the base, the driving device, the traction chain, and the hopper. During operation, the materials enter the bottom shell through the feed port and are lifted upwards by the high-speed rotating sprocket. The bucket structure extracts the materials one by one and lifts them to the head of the machine. At the top, the materials are discharged by gravity or centrifugal force.

AGICO Plate Chain Bucket Elevator project cases

Philippine Cement Clinker Production Line Project
- Project Scale: Produces 4,000 tons of cement clinker per day
- Applicable Equipment: 3 sets of TB-type plate chain bucket elevators
- Effect Feedback: Operated stably for over 2 years, with almost no maintenance required. The customer plans to continue purchasing AGICO equipment for the new production line.

Egyptian Power Plant Ash Transportation Project
- Customer pain point: The original equipment was prone to blockage and had a small transportation capacity.
- AGICO solution: Widened hopper design, optimized chain wheel structure
- Delivery time: 45 days, installation and commissioning took 5 days
- Customer evaluation: Efficiency increased by 35%, maintenance labor cost saved by over 60%
A large cement plant in Africa
- Challenges: The original belt bucket elevator frequently broke down and could not withstand the 250℃ high-temperature clinker.
- AGICO Solution: Adopting a plate chain structure, upgrading the chain to a heat-resistant alloy material, and adding a central tensioning device. The operating life is increased by 3 times, and the annual maintenance cost is saved by over 20,000 US dollars.
