These can also be used for bucket elevators, because different types of bucket elevators need different hoppers. If the handling capacity is large, choosing a small hopper will definitely affect the work efficiency. On the contrary, the bucket elevator with small handling capacity and large hopper can only be said to be overqualified. We are just giving a simple example. In fact, there are many factors that affect the selection of hopper of bucket elevator. So, how should we choose a suitable hopper for our bucket elevator? When customers choose lifting equipment, the specific gravity of materials is the first problem that customers should consider: the parameters of general bucket elevator are designed and calculated for materials with specific gravity below 1.6, and the traction and tensile strength of transmission parts need to be calculated if the specific gravity of materials is too large. Transportation capacity per unit time.

Generally speaking, the shape of the material directly determines the unloading mode of the material. The common rule is that powdery materials are discharged by centrifugal ejection, and bulk materials are discharged by gravity, and the different discharging methods determine the different hopper forms used by bucket elevators. Centrifugal ejection unloading mostly adopts shallow bucket and arc bucket, while gravity unloading needs deep bucket. The bucket elevator uses different types of hoppers, and the amount of materials transported per unit time is also different. The final conveying capacity of bucket elevator depends on the hopper form, bucket speed, material proportion, material properties and whether the designed conveying capacity can be realized, which is the most direct embodiment of the success of elevator design. The bucket elevator relies on the traction members around the head wheel and the bottom wheel to move continuously, and the hopper fixed on the traction members completes the loading, lifting and unloading to complete the whole conveying process. The whole process of transporting and lifting materials can be divided into two stages: loading process, transportation lifting process and unloading process. The loading capacity of the loading process determines the maximum transportation, the stability and degree of the lifting process determines the loss of materials, and the unloading process determines the emptying degree and transportation step consumption of materials. A qualified hoist should realize the "loading, stabilizing and unloading" of materials. Improve production capacity and reduce useless consumption in the process.
