chemical industry powder particle lifting z type bucket elevator
z type bucket elevator are used to handle powders, bulk solids or friable , fragile materials because they minimize product damage or are used to handle light fluffy materials where aeration of the product must be avoided. Continuous food industry conveyor belts have buckets spaced continuously and operate at slower speeds. The continuous bucket placement allows the force of gravity to discharge their load onto the inverted front of the proceeding bucket. The bucket then guides that material into the discharge throat on the descending side of the elevator.
