According to bucked elevator supplier, bucket elevator should be operated by qualified operators to avoid frequent failures caused by improper operation. Operators should do a good job in the daily inspection work, must do a good job in the daily inspection records, found the problems to solve in time. Operators should often inspect the bucket elevator off-tracking, speed measurement, driving head of the motor, reducer, chain and gear, belt and pully, as well as coupling and bearing and other conditions. By means of eye observation, ear listening and hand touch, simple inspection tools such as iron bar and multimeter are used when necessary to check whether there is no difference in sound and temperature rise, whether there is deviation and skidding, whether there is excessive material return and blocking, and check the vibration of power components. The parts that the bucket elevator needs to be repaired should be listed during maintenance, such as bearing wear, bearing lubricating oil, oil level of reduction box and oil quality.

If bucket elevator is belt type, it need to check the wear and tightness of the belt, belt straightness and the same surface; If bucket elevator is chain type, it need to check the chain tightness and straightness and whether the need to replace the grease and other conditions. Coupling should be inspected for wear, epadial and axial run-out and tilt, and end face clearance. It there is a hydraulic coupler, it should also check the oil level and oil quality of the coupler, whether there is any odor deterioration, if there is , it should be replaced. In case of overhaul of motor, overhaul motor shall be used for overhaul. Bucket elevator supplier said, If the motor is not repaired, manual turning over shall be used for maintenance. It is strictly prohibited to use high -speed main motor for maintenance in case of personal and equipment safety accidents. It is strictly forbidden to knock on the bucket elevator blindly to clean up the internal materials. It is strictly prohibited to start the bucket elevator with material, because the load change of starting with material will cause the burning of motor or electrical components, and also affect the service life of the bucket elevator. The feeding should be uniform, no excess is allowed, and the control valve at the inlet should be strictly controlled to make the bucket elevator run stably. For the conveyance of solid bulk material, the belt joints are usually overlapped or clamped way. When lap joint should pay attention to the lap joint of the inner joint should follow the direction of the elevator operation, otherwise the unit operation is not smooth, serious running deviation phenomenon, and even lead to the unit can not run, the length of lap joint shall not be less than three rows of dustpans. Special clamps shall be used for clamping joints. Generally, special clamps shall be indicated when ordering and carried by suppliers. The clamps should be evenly clamped on the belt, the hole making is accurate, and keep perpendicular to the running direction of the belt, the joint must ensure the belt in the head wheel and the tail wheel smooth transition. When the joint is connected, hammer is used to make the joint tight and firm, and the special fastening bolt is used for fastening. At the same time should ensure that the upper and lower two joints of the belt side of the same line, in order to prevent belt deviation and other abnormal circumstances.

According to the bucket elevator supplier, When the belt joint, the lower drum should be adjusted to the top of the drum stroke, after the belt is connected, loosen the tensioning device tensioning bolts, and tighten the belt through the dead weight, counterweight and tensioning bolts of the drum. The lower roller after tensioning is qualified in the upper half of the whole stroke. When the unit runs for a period of time, the belt should be checked for tightness, if necessary to intercept the belt, in order to ensure that the lower drum of the unit in the upper half of the whole journey. Whether the belt joint is standard, it determines whether the bucket elevator can operate or run stably. Only in accordance with the relevant technical documents and specifications to connect, ensure that the joint dislocation, joint side of the same line and the joint of the firm, in order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the unit. Bucket elevator is the key equipment in the production process.
