Bucket Conveyor

Advanced Mechanical Separation for Maximum Liquid Recovery

Bucket Conveyors are specialized mechanical systems designed to load bulk organic waste into composting systems. By utilizing a series of reinforced buckets attached to a continuous belt or chain, this system ensures the steady, spill-free movement of materials to elevated processing units such as composters or screening machines.

Key Features:

  • Vertical Lift Capability: Engineered to move waste at steep angles or perfectly vertical paths, maximizing space in compact facilities.

  • Non-Spill Design: Features overlapping or deep-profile buckets that ensure materials are contained securely during the entire transport cycle.

  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with high-strength materials to handle abrasive organic waste and heavy compost loads.

  • Low Power Requirement: Highly efficient mechanical design uses gravity and balanced loads to minimize energy consumption.

  • Modular Height: The tower structure can be customized to reach specific heights required for feeding tall In-Vessel or Semi-Automatic machines.

How It Works:

  1. Loading: Reinforced buckets scoop up the waste and ascend to the required elevation, discharging the material directly into the composting unit.

  2. Elevated Transit: The buckets are carried upward by a high-tensile belt or chain drive within a protective housing.

  3. Centrifugal/Gravity Discharge: At the head (top section), the buckets tip over, using centrifugal force or gravity to discharge the material into the machine or hopper.

  4. Return Cycle: Empty buckets travel back down to the bottom of the loop to be refilled, ensuring a continuous operational flow.

Benefits

  1. Space Optimization: Transfers materials vertically, significantly reducing the floor space required compared to traditional inclined belt conveyors.

  2. Reduced Manual Labor: Eliminates the need for manual lifting or feeding of heavy waste into elevated machinery.

  3. Gentle Material Handling: Ideal for moving processed compost or fragile materials without causing degradation or dust dispersion.

  4. Operational Safety: Fully enclosed housings prevent operator contact with moving parts and keep the workspace clean from falling debris.
