Head of Double Bucket Elevator

Double Bucket Elevator Type BWZ-D

Higher kiln capacities and consequently new grinding
processes in the cement industry require Bucket Elevators
with conveying capacities of more than 2,200 m3/h.

AUMUND meets these latest requirements with the Double

Bucket Elevator Type BWZ-D. By combining two standard
Bucket Elevators with central chain, the conveying capacity
can be doubled.

The drive head illustration shows the two bucket strands on

a common drive shaft, which is supported in pillow-block
bearings. Twin drives are installed in order to provide the
high drive power required.

The two bucket strands are arranged in one and the same
casing. The chutes in the feeding area direct the material to
the bucket strands by way of a material flow divider.

Belt Bucket Elevator Type BWG

Outstanding features of the AUMUND Belt Bucket Elevators
are high lifts and conveying capacities. These high-performance
bucket elevators are designed for continuous operation with low
maintenance requirements.

All drive pulleys feature exchangeable friction linings. The

segments can be easily exchanged without opening the belt.

In the elevator boot a bar-type drum ensures the guided return

of the belt. Precise parallel guidance is obtained with the parallel
tensioning device.

The bucket design and the close bucket spacing are proven
assets allowing continuous material take-up and discharge.

The buckets are fastened to the elevator belt with flat head
screws of special design engaging in the longitudinal and cross
steel cords. Utmost resistance to tearing is thus guaranteed for
the buckets. Rubber strips are fitted between bucket and belt.

 Steel-reinforced belt

With their low thickness, the belts allow to

use smaller pulley diameters. Depending
on the strength class, longitudinal ropes
with a diameter of 3.1 up to 5.4 mm and
arranged at a distance of 4.75 to 8.8 mm
are applied as traction elements. Together
with the additional cross ropes, they form
a rigid network structure ensuring the high
resistance to tearing of the bucket fixation
screws. Depending on the strength class, the
cross ropes are either provided on one or on
both sides.

Belt splicing

Belt splicing is made by clamping the steel

ropes in a casting compound box. The rope
ends are connected by means of clamps and
then cast with a special casting compound.
This ensures reliable splicing with no chance
for the belt ends to escape
