ELM- Low Speed Bucket Elevator with toothed drive wheels and double chains connected to the bucket sides. Similar to ELR elevators but mounting roller chains with pins and bushings fixed to the bucket sides, to ensure central discharge aligned with the elevator.
The main features of the elevator include the following:
– standard dimensions of the same series as for high-speed elevators, starting from 315 mm
– sturdy buckets, suitable for dredging on the reinforced outer side and discharging on the opposite internal side. Four holes are drilled into the sides for connection to the chains
– toothed return wheels
– link chains with side plates, pins and fixed bushings. Certain plates have drilled shaped attachments for connection to the buckets
– tangential feed inlet on idle station
– central discharge outlet under drive station
– standard tensioning system featuring parallel tensioning by counterweight
Alternatively, a hydraulic tensioning system can be used
Type of discharge: central gravity
