Z-type bucket elevator, also called Z-type elevator and Z-shaped elevator, is a new type of bucket elevator. This equipment is also a type of chain bucket elevator. From the beginning of the design of the z-type elevator, the shortcomings of the existing bucket elevator were taken into consideration, and the feeding and discharging methods and lifting and conveying methods were continuously improved to better meet the actual needs of various industries in the current market for lifting and conveying equipment. The Z-type bucket elevator is similar in structure to the traditional vertical bucket elevator. It uses chain buckets to take materials and transport them. However, there are some changes in the feeding and discharging. The upper and lower horizontal sections are added for transportation (minimum 1.5 meters). It is convenient for customers to transport horizontal distances and reduces the need for customers to purchase other horizontal transports again. In the horizontal section, the z-type bucket elevator can realize multi-point unloading. The number and location of the unloading ports can be determined according to the actual needs of the customer. In addition, the Z-type bucket elevator adopts a closed and environmentally friendly body design to reduce dust flying and comply with environmental protection requirements. In addition, the Z-type bucket elevator has various compositions, flexible layout, and horizontal-vertical-horizontal lifting and conveying methods, making the Z-type bucket elevator occupy less space.
