Bucket elevator arrangement with at least three separately operated bucket elevator strands

摘要

A bucket conveyor arrangement having a plurality of bucket conveyor lines (11) arranged alongside one another and having a charging device for charging bulk material onto the bucket conveyor lines (11), wherein a common drive shaft (13) for driving the bucket conveyor lines (11), having in each case a drive motor (17) that is attached to the associated end of the drive shaft (13) and acts on the drive shaft (13), is provided, is characterized in that at least three bucket conveyor lines (11) which are arranged alongside one another and can be coupled to and uncoupled from one or both drive motors (17) in each case individually and separately from one another are provided, wherein the bucket conveyor lines (11) are assigned a common charging device in the form of a bulk-material stream splitter (30) which has a receiving hopper (31) having a central charging point (32) for forming a natural bulk-material cone in the interior of the receiving hopper (31) and also outlets (35) arranged on the receiving hopper (31) on a position line that extends with a radius around the charging point (32) and is located within the natural bulk-material cone that is formed when the bulk-material stream splitter (30) is loaded with bulk material, wherein each outlet (35) is assigned to a bucket conveyor line (11) and can be opened and closed individually by an actuable closure member.
