‌Structural Design‌

‌Traction hoist‌: Usually a steel wire rope or chain is used as a traction component, and is driven by a winch or electric motor to achieve the lifting and lowering of materials.

‌Bucket Elevator‌: According to the different traction parts, it can be divided into TD type (with bucket type), TH type (ring chain bucket type), NE type (plate chain bucket type), etc. The TD type is suitable for vertical conveying of powdery, granular and small bulk materials; the TH type is suitable for conveying heavier materials; the NE type is suitable for heavier loads and high temperature occasions.

‌Hydraulic hoist‌: Powered by a hydraulic system, it is suitable for occasions where precise control of lifting speed and position is required‌.

‌How it works‌

‌Traction hoist‌: The hoist or electric motor drives the wire rope or chain to lift and lower the material.

‌Bucket Elevator‌: The hopper is continuously filled with materials and moves up and down with the help of electricity to complete the transportation process. The centrifugal discharge hopper elevator uses the principle of centrifugal force to discharge products and is suitable for vertical lifting of small and light materials; the continuous/gravity discharge hopper elevator is suitable for continuous or intermittent lifting operations.

‌Hydraulic hoist‌: It uses a hydraulic system to provide power and is suitable for occasions where precise control of lifting speed and position is required‌.

‌Applicable scenarios‌

‌Traction hoist‌: widely used in mining, ports, construction and other fields, suitable for occasions where heavy objects need to be lifted vertically.

‌Bucket Elevator‌: Suitable for vertical transportation of bulk materials, such as grain, coal, cement, etc.‌.

‌Hydraulic hoist‌: Suitable for occasions where precise control of lifting speed and position is required, such as the installation of large equipment in construction‌.

‌Transporting Materials‌

‌Traction hoist‌: Suitable for various heavy objects and bulk materials.

‌Bucket Elevator‌: Suitable for bulk materials, such as powdery, granular and small lump materials‌.
