Customized bucket elevator design: Why material testing is essential In vertical conveying applications, the success of a bucket elevator does not begin with selecting the bucket type or motor power—it starts with a thorough understanding of the product to be lifted.
Customized bucket elevator design: Why material testing is essential
In vertical conveying applications, the success of a bucket elevator does not begin with selecting the bucket type or motor power—it starts with a thorough understanding of the product to be lifted. Every bulk material reacts differently during transport, especially when elevated, and overlooking its specific behavior can lead to premature wear, product degradation, or operational failures. Product characterization Product characterization: The foundation of reliable vertical transport. When dealing with fragile, abrasive, greasy, or high-temperature materials, a generic elevator design often proves insufficient. Each material must be assessed for its physical properties to determine the optimal configuration for buckets, belts, and structural elements. Key parameters to analyze * Bulk density * Particle size and shape * Flow behavior and angle of repose * Humidity and fines content * Operating temperature * Abrasiveness and corrosiveness These values directly influence not only how the material is discharged from the buckets but also how it interacts with belts, chains, and contact surfaces during elevation. Laboratory tests and pilot trials Laboratory

Highly efficient from a distance: the Distance-Knocker QJ from singold
When it is not possible to attach a pneumatic knocker directly to a silo, the pneumatic distance knocker from singold gerätetechnik gmbh offers a solution. It is not always possible to attach a pneumatic knocker directly to a silo, for instance, if the container becomes hot or if it moves. In such cases, the pneumatic distance knocker from singold gerätetechnik gmbh offers a solution. Company founder Erwin Lüer developed it using state-of-the-art engineering. How the Distance-Knocker QJ works The basic concept is the same as that of the traditional pneumatic knocker: spontaneously released compressed air pressure accelerates the impact piston, which is designed as a permanent magnet, after it is released. In contrast to the conventional knocker, the distance knocker’s piston rod strikes a moving impulse part, which is strongly accelerated according to the impulse-momentum theorem and ultimately transfers the energy to the container to be knocked off. This process takes place at such a high speed that the human eye can hardly perceive it. Thanks to the additional impulse part, the Distance-Knocker QJ can be mounted
