Safe Installation of Bucket Elevator should to know

             As we all know bucket elevator installation is key to impact on the performance, but how  to conduct it rightly, here pk machinery will give you some advice for reference.

1. The bucket elevator must be firmly settled on a solid concrete foundation. Concrete foundation surface should be level and flat to make sure the bucket elevator can achieve vertical requirements after installation. Middle and upper casing section of a bucket elevatorshould be connected with the neighbour buildings in order to increase its stability. Firstly, install the bottom part, fix the anchor bolt, and then install the middle casing and upper casing. After finish the installation, please adjust the vertical height, upper and lower shaft should be parallel to each other, and shafts should be in the same plane. When install the bucket elevatorwith a lower height, you can connect the upper, middle and lower casing well first on the ground, and then hang the complete set vertically and fix it on the concrete foundation.

            2. After finishing the installation of casing, then install the chain and bucket. The            u-type screw which is used for connect the buckets is not only a chain                              connector but also a fixture of buckets. U-screw nuts must be tighten and                        locked securely, after the installation of chain and bucket, please adjust it to get              a proper tension. 
           3. Put an appropriate amount of oil or grease in the gearbox and bearing                            respectively, reducer should be lubricated with industrial gear oil, bearing seat                can be lubricated with calcium or sodium base grease.
