The NE type bucket elevator represents a plate chain bucket elevator, which is a more effective model compared to belt type bucket elevators and ring chain bucket elevators. The NE plate chain bucket elevator is a relatively good vertical lifting equipment due to its high cost of using a plate chain structure, although it has a low maintenance rate.

The main application scope of NE type bucket elevator is:

The NE type bucket elevator is suitable for vertical conveying of powdered and small particle materials, and can also lift materials with high grinding ability. Widely used in metallurgy, with a temperature not exceeding 2500C and a large lifting height of 50m.

The main structural characteristics of NE type bucket elevator:

The NE type bucket elevator consists of operating components (bucket chain device), driving device, upper device, lower device, and middle shell.

The bucket chain device consists of a hopper and a sleeve roller chain. There are two types of arrangements: single chain and double chain. The head drive device is equipped with a backstop. The discharge port is equipped with an anti backflow rubber plate, and the middle section is equipped with a track to prevent the traction chain from swinging during operation. The inlet and outlet of the equipment, as well as the lifting height, can be flexibly arranged according to the on-site process requirements.

The NE bucket elevator adopts inflow feeding, mixed or gravity unloading methods for unloading. And it adopts a densely arranged high-capacity hopper for transportation, with low chain speed and large lifting capacity.

The NE bucket elevator adopts a plate chain traction chain, which can achieve a higher lifting height.

The traction conveyor chain adopts a heavy hammer lever type gravity automatic tensioning device, and the lifting chain always maintains a moderate tensioning state during operation, keeping the equipment in operation.
