FEM 2.122 - Recommendation for the Calculation of Throughput, Power Requirement and Tensile Forces in Belts and Chains of Vertical Bucket Elevators

FEM 2.122-EN

This recommendation describes the method of calculation for the establishment of the design of vertical bucket elevators used for bulk handling.

A bucket elevator consists of an endless belt or chain as traction element to which buckets as carrying elements are attached at regular intervals for the vertical transportation of pulverized, granulated or lump bulk materials.
