A bucket elevator is really a conveyor in which buckets are put in on a vertically circulating chain, to vertically convey loads of granular powder. There are two series of bucket elevators: NE Style (regular pace) and NSE Type (high velocity). Each types have wide-ranging applications.
(a) NE Bucket Elevator Chains
An NE variety bucket elevator is often a general-use bucket elevator that operates at a normal conveyance velocity. The elevator is manufactured with two forms of chains: Conventional Conveyor Chain with Attachment G4 (normal or heavy-duty) and DK Strong Z Conveyor Chain.
(b) NSE Bucket Elevator Chains
An NSE type bucket elevator is built for higher speed conveyance plus the speed is about double that of NE variety. To stand up to large velocity operation and also to decrease noise and shock, the chain pitch is one-half or much less of that on the chains for NE form. To ensure substantial durability, pins, bushings and rollers will be the same as individuals for solid Z-type.
