Upgrade path
Turnkey upgrades from chain to belt elevators, including:
| Parameter | Chain Bucket Elevator | Steel Cord Belt Elevator |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 0.6 – 1.2 m/s | 1.2 – 1.8 m/s |
| Lift Height | Up to 70 m (typical), max ~90 m | Up to 175 m |
| Capacity | 100 – 600 TPH | 150 – 1200 TPH |
| Noise & Vibration | Moderate to high | Very low |
| Maintenance Needs | Frequent lubrication, chain elongation check | Minimal; belt stretch negligible in steel cord |
| Temperature Limit | Up to 250–400°C (clinker) | Up to 150°C standard, 200°C for short-term HR grades |
| Service Life | Chain wear after 2–4 years | Belt life 4–8 years (if aligned & tensioned) |
| Chain Type | Applications | Key Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Round Link Chain | Bucket elevators (raw meal, clinker feed, packing), reclaimer chains | Compliant with DIN 764/22252; surface-hardened up to 62 HRC; suited for abrasive duty |
| Central Forged Chain | Bucket elevators (hot clinker), deep pan conveyors, drag conveyors | Precise pitch control, wear-resistant links, heavy load-bearing, works up to 400°C |
| Drop-Forged Scraper Chain | Drag conveyors, clinker dust flow conveyors, ESP ash conveying | Robust scraper design; dust-sealed operation; custom scraper flights (flat/U-type) |
| Plate Link Chain | Clinker pan conveyors, apron conveyors, heavy-duty clinker transport | Built for hot, sharp clinker (300–500°C); sidebars with thick pin and bush assembly |
| Toothless & Toothed Sprockets | All above systems; paired with above chain types | Machined or segmented tooth rings; surface-hardened; precision aligned with chain pitch |
| U-Shackles / DIN Attachments | Bucket-to-chain connection points (elevators and reclaimers) | Forged alloy steel, heat treated, with spring-locked pins for vibration-prone areas |
| Parameter | Typical Range / Specification | Description / Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Belt Width | 400 mm to 1600 mm | Depends on elevator capacity and bucket size; wider belts for clinker or high TPH |
| Belt Construction | Steel Cord Reinforced with rubber cover | High tensile strength with low elongation, stable in long vertical lifts |
| Tensile Strength | 1000 N/mm to 3150 N/mm (DIN ST1000 – ST3150) | Higher grades used for clinker or tall elevators (≥ 60 m) |
| Number of Steel Cords | 7–24 (based on width and load) | Arranged in parallel, embedded in rubber; zinc-plated for corrosion resistance |
| Cover Grade | Wear Resistant (W), Heat Resistant (HR), Oil Resistant (OR) | HR preferred for clinker and hot cement; OR for gypsum and additives |
| Cover Thickness (Top/Bottom) | 4+2 mm to 8+4 mm | Thicker covers for high abrasion zones; bottom cover may be reduced for drive traction |
| Bucket Fixing Method | Through-bolt (punch hole) or moulded recessed holes | Steel-backed buckets bolted through belt; ensures minimal slippage |
| Belt Speed | 1.2 – 1.8 m/s | Optimized for throughput vs. belt tension and wear |
| Max Lifting Height | Up to 175 meters | For raw meal, cement, or preheater feeding |
| Capacity Range | 150 – 1200 TPH | Based on material density, speed, and bucket arrangement |
| Splice Type | Hot vulcanized (preferred) or mechanical clamp (temporary) | Hot vulcanized preferred for long-term reliability |
| Pulley Diameter | Min. 630 mm to 1600 mm | Sized as per DIN 22101 and belt manufacturer recommendation |
| Temperature Resistance | Up to 150°C (HR), optionally 200°C for short durations | Required for hot clinker or preheater feeding |
