Hopper classification of bucket elevator:

The first type: cylindrical hopper, which is suitable for transporting some granular materials, can be divided into deep hopper and shallow hopper according to the depth. The deep bucket mouth presents an inclined angle of 65 degrees, and the depth is relatively large. In industry, it is mainly used for transporting some dry and circulating materials, but it is very easy to spill. The shallow bucket mouth presents a 45 degree angle of inclination, and its depth is relatively small, which is mainly used in the transportation of some wet and circulating materials.

Type 2: the hopper side wall of the bucket elevator extends to the outside of the base plate, thus becoming a stop. When transporting materials, the related materials can form a corresponding groove along the stop edge and the base plate of the hopper to unload. It is more suitable for transporting the materials with relatively large viscosity and relatively heavy weight, for example Coal, ore, etc.
