The differences between bucket elevators and belt conveyors


The differences between bucket elevators and belt conveyors The main differences between bucket elevators and belt conveyors lie in the applicable inclination angles,

 conveying methods, and application scenarios. Inclination angle: Bucket elevators are suitable for vertical or large-angle inclined material transportation, while belt conveyors are suitable

 for small-angle transportation. Conveying method: Bucket elevators use the material bins attached to the traction belt to dig and upwardly transport the materials, forming a closed structure; 

belt conveyors can transport materials through continuous belt transportation and can be lengthened at will to meet long-distance transportation requirements. Application scenarios: Bucket elevators are suitable for various industries,

 especially in scenarios where vertical material transportation is required, and have good high-temperature resistance (based on actual reports);

 belt conveyors are widely used in industries with large transportation volumes and long transportation distances.
