Procedure How To Dismantle All The Buckets From The High Elevat…
Dear sir ,
May i know the procedure to dismantle all buckets from a belt elevator. To prevent it from falling backward or forward.
Due to unbalance weight ! Which will be correct if we remove from the top side or bottom elevator opening ?
I will be appreciate if someone could help me on this for better understanding.
Belt length : 149.78 meter
Belt width : 1450 mm
Total number of bucket : 345 buckets
Bucket Spacing : 400mm
Total number of belt ply : 5Ply
Belt surface hardness : 60 shore ±5
Belt strength : 2000 N /MM
High Bucket elevator Capacities : 1100 T/Hour
Thank you.

Its Backstop Season!
If you have left the backstop in place then you simply remove a bucket from conveniently near the top of the return (downgoing ) strand ( low enough to keep the hanging). Now the carrying side is heavier and hopefully held by the backstop. Remove a bucket from the carrying side. Your out of balance is one bucket mass andyou can handle this around the head pulley for one pitch and repeat. ■
Bucket5 Elevator Dismantling Procedure
May I know if there is any stardard procedure to dismantle all
the belt buckets from the elevator.
Should the removal be done at top side or bottom to prevent
the buckets & belt falling backwards when its not balance.

Why are you dismantling the bucket elevator that you have so
kindly described and offered a picture of?
Is the belt cracked and stretched and tearing to the point it is
unable to maintain a true linear amount of travel?
As Louis has so kindly mentioned the backstop is your friend if the
bucket elevator has one installed.
If you could provide a few more images for the bucket elevator
That would be of great help to us to help you help us help you
with your dismantling of the bucket elevator as you need to provide
a better description with more photographs.
BEFORE ANY WORK IS ATTEMPTED!!!!!
You must be sure that the electrical power is disconnected and
locked out before any work is perfomed.
If and only if the bucket elevator has an electric motor with a
reduction gearbox arrangement at the head sprocket the removal
of the buckets will be simplified by simply spinning the coupler by
hand each time to position a bucket for its removal.
You should be using a two way radio to facilitate the movement of the belt
by one person who is moving the coupler by hand and the second is operating
the radio.
If the head sprocket is direct driven by an electric motor
and chain drive you will have to work on it in a different
manner entirely.
The other worry is the elevator bolts, nuts and washers.
If you intend to reuse them you will need a low
strength thread locker such as the Loctite blue threadlocker.
The original lock washers, if used will require replacement
as a matter of necessity for the proper reinstallation of the buckets.
If you are replacing the conveyor belt you can secure the new strand with a rope
from the top that is lowered to the other side and attached to a small electric cable
winch to pull the belt and buckets over the head pulley of the elevator and splicing
the new belt at the area where itis most easily accessable at the base of the elevator
OR by splicing the new belt to the old belt after the buckets are removed off the old
belting IF and only if the mounting holes for the buckets are pre-drilled and true. ■
Re: Dismantling Buckets From The High Elevator
No first hand experience, though using reasoning:
1. If you just replacing and not dismantling, removing an old one then replacing with a new one and then inching and repeat may be an option.
2. If you are dismantling, becareful if relying on the backstop that you will have sufficient T2 to prevent slippage throughout the process.
2a. Maybe removing buckets from both belt strands is an option (T2 should not be an issue then either)?
3. Is there an option to winch the belt out (c/w buckets) (i.e. winch attached to both ends?).
