Bucket elevator mechanism for solid material - has bucket front wall with edge perpendicular to mouth

摘要

The bucket elevator has an endless driving member to which the buckets are fixed by their rear walls, while their sidewalls converge towards the bottom. The mouth of each bucket, formed by the edges of side and front walls, lies in a plane inclined to the horizontal when the rear wall is vertical. The front wall (2) has at its edge a section (2a) perpendicular to the plane of the mouth (5), which can be at between 10 and 15 deg. to the horizontal.
