Buckets, mounted at spaced intervals, are loaded by scooping up material from theboot or by feeding the material into them. Material is discharged by centrifugal action as the buckets passover the head wheel. These elevators are made in several types and are suitable for many requirements.Type BE100 Elevators of this type meet the service requirements of the majority of installations using cen-trifugal discharge elevators. The head shafts are fixed. The foot shaft takeups are of the screw type. Gravitytakeups are available. Buckets are of malleable iron for use on chain or belt. Casings are of steel plate andangle construction.Type BE200 These elevators are similar to Type BE100 except that the head shafts are adjustable andthe foot shafts are fixed to maintain the relation of buckets to the loading chute and curved bottom plate.They are preferred for handling food products, materials which tend to pack or build up in the bottom of theboot, and for materials having a considerable percentage of lumps.Type BE1400 This elevator is designed primarily for cement mill service, but is suited for many other simi-lar abrasive service applications. Their design and rugged construction makes them ideally suited for han-dling cement, clinker, crushed stone, bauxite, feldspar, gravel, gypsum, roofing granules, sand, shale, etc.They are available in a full range of sizes extending to the very high capacities and lifts.Continuous bucket elevatorsElevators of this design are made in a number of types for handling many bulk materials ranging from lightto heavy and from fines to large lumps. Buckets are spaced continuously and loaded by direct feeding,except for Type BE800 elevator where material is scooped from the boot. Spillage between buckets is pre-vented by their close spacing. As buckets discharge, the material flows over the preceding bucket, whosefront and projecting sides form a chute, to the discharge spout.Type BE700. This elevator is the most frequently used of the continuous bucket design. The head shaftsare fixed. The foot shaft takeups are of the screw type. Gravity takeups are available. Buckets are of steeland spaced continuously on a single strand of chain. Casings are of steel plate and angle construction.Material is fed to the buckets through a loading leg.Type BE800 Elevators of this type are used for the handling of fine or crushed materials with lumps notexceeding 1/2 inch. These elevators are similar to Type BE 700, except that head shafts are adjustable andfoot shafts are fixed, to maintain the relation of buckets to the loading chute and curved bottom plate.Buckets are loaded by scooping up material from the boot. When modified by the addition of a loading legand a correspondingly higher inlet spout, this type elevator can also be used for handling lumpy materials.Type BE800L Identical to Type BE800 except with loading leg and stub inlet chute.Type BE1000 This elevator is of the super-capacity type and used for handling friable, heavy or abrasivematerial ranging from fines to large lumps. The head shafts are fixed and the foot takeups are of the screwtype. Gravity takeups are available. Continuous buckets are end-mounted between two strands of ClassSS bushed roller chain. Material is fed to the buckets through a loading leg. Casings are of steel plate andangle construction. Type BE1100 These elevators are similar in design to Type BE 1000, except for greater capacities andcenters. Head terminal machinery and driving equipment are carried on independent supports. The foottakeups are of the screw type. Gravity takeups are available.pages 113 - 128 4/7/05 11:03 AM Page 125126SelectionOperatingConditionRecommended casing material and thicknessother than standard.Standard listed thickness of casing14 ga. 12 ga. 10 ga. 3/16 in. 1/4 in.

Most accidents are the result of carelessness or negligence. Thefollowing safety instructions are basic guidelines and should be considered as minimum provisions. Additional information shall be obtained by thepurchaser from other sources, including the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Standard ANSI B20.1, Standard ANSI B15.1, StandardANSI Z244.It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, owner and user to install, maintain and operate the bucket elevator and elevator assembliesmanufactured and supplied by Thomas, in such a manner as to comply with the Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act and with allstate and local laws and ordinances and the American National Standards Institute Safety Code.Precautions:1. Maintain a safety training and safety equipment operation/maintenance program for all employees.2. Bucket elevators shall not be operated unless the elevator housing completely encloses the elevator moving elements and power transmis-sion guards are in place. If the elevator is to be opened for inspection, cleaning or observation, the motor driving the conveyor is to belocked out electrically in such a manner that it cannot be restarted by anyone, however remote from the area, unless the elevatorhousing has been closed and all other guards are in place.3. If the elevator must have an open housing as a condition of its use and application, the entire elevator is then to be guarded by a railing orfence.4. RUGGED gratings may be used where necessary. If the distance between the grating moving elements is less than 4 inches, the grating open-ing must not exceed 1/2 inch by 2 inches. In all cases the openings shall be restrictive to keep any part of the body or clothing from coming incontact with moving parts of the equipment. SOLID COVERS should be used at all points and must be designed and installed so that personnelwill not be exposed to accidental contact with any moving parts of the equipment.5. All rotating equipment such as guards, drives, gears, shafts and couplings must be guarded by the purchaser/owner as required by applicablelaws, standards and good practice.6. SAFETY DEVICES AND CONTROLS must be purchased and provided by the purchaser/owner as required by applicable laws, standards andgood practices.7. Practice good housekeeping at all times and maintain good lighting around all equipment.8. Keep all operating personnel advised of the location and operation of all emergency controls and devices. Clear access to these controls anddevices must be maintained.9. Frequent inspections of these controls and devices, covers, guards and equipment to ensure proper working order and correct positioning.10. Do not walk on elevator covers, gratings or guards.11. Do not poke or prod material in the elevator.12. Do not place hands, feet or any part of the body or clothing in the elevator or opening.13. Do not overload elevator or attempt to use it for other than its intended use.14. Inlet and discharge openings shall be connected to other equipment in order to completely enclose the moving elements of the elevator.15. Before power is connected to the drive a pre-start up check shall be performed to ensure the equipment and area are safe for operation and allguards are in place and secure.16. Bucket Elevators are not manufactured or designed to handle materials that are hazardous to personnel unless specially designed. Thesematerials which are hazardous include those that are explosive, flammable, toxic or otherwise dangerous to personnel. Elevators may bedesigned to handle these materials. Elevators are not manufactured or designed to comply with local, state or federal codes for unfired pres-sure vessels. If hazardous materials are to be conveyed or if the elevator is to be subjected to internal or external pressure, Thomas should beconsulted prior to any modifications.17. Removal of backstop may cause unexpected machine movement. Remove or block all external loadsbefore servicing unit. Failure to observe these precautions could result in bodily injury.All equipment shall be checked for damage immediately upon arrival. Do not attempt to install a dam-aged item or elevator.All bucket elevators are shop assembled by Thomas, have warning labels affixed in many easily seenlocations. If the equipment exterior is painted, coated or altered in any way or if the material conveyed is inexcess of 175°F or if a change in the original intended use of the equipment is considered, the factory shall beconsulted before modifications are made.

The platformmounts securely to the eleva-tor head section. Various sizesand configurations are avail-able. Rest platforms are alsoavailable and required at 30´intervals.Ladders/Safety CagesLadders with safety cages areavailable. They are construct-ed of heavy gauge steel andsized to provide easy accessto platforms. Ladders withsafety cage are easily boltedto the elevator casings.C BOLTS1? 1? 1?B=DEPTH–12BE BOLT DIApages 129 - 144 4/7/05 11:08 AM Page 142143Troubleshooting Guide – BeltProblem Cause CorrectionBucket bolts pull through belt or belt tears atbolt hole. Bucket bolts not tight.Inadequate belt construction for bolt-holding.Obstruction in casing or insufficient clearance.Jammed boot.Too-small pulleys or incorrect splice strainsbolts as belt flexes.Service conditions changed. Lump size orweight in buckets increased from originaldesign.Bucket bolts should be inspected frequentlyand kept tight.Proper belt recommendation should considerminimum plies for bolt-holding.Check terminal pulleys for proper alignment toensure straight-running belt. Redesign ele-vator if necessary.Install controlled feed to help eliminate jamsand turbulence in boot.Install larger head pulley if possible. Use cor-rect splice. Check belt construction for pos-sibility of thinner belt.For larger lumps, change feed or boot design tohandle them. For heavier material, change beltconstruction to proper construction.Belt cover wearing excessively on bucketside.Bucket not completely discharging material.Material downlegging and getting betweenbucket and belt.Fine abrasive material between bucket andbelt cover.Too light a cover gauge or improper belt quality.Change speed to effect better discharge.Use rubber washers or bucket pad betweenbucket and cover.On replacement belt, increase cover thicknessor upgrade belt, or both.Excessive wear on pulley side of cover.Abrasive material dropping between belt andboot pulley.Belt slips at drive pulley.Too light a cover gauge or improper belt quality.Use slotted or self-cleaning type of pulley.Lag head pulley. If necessary, increase ten-sionat terminal pulley.On replacement belt, increase cover thicknessor upgrade belt, or both.Belt carcass breaks.Lump material dropping between belt and bootpulley.Operating tension is higher than maximumallowable working tension of belt.Some type of slotted or self-cleaning pulleyshould be used.Calculate belt tension and install belt with cor-rect strength design.Separation of rubber cover from carcass. Severe service conditionsImprove cover adhesion by using breakerbetween carcas and cover.144Troubleshooting Guide – ChainProblem Cause CorrectionExcessive noiseMisalignment.Too little or too much slack.Improper lubrication.Loose casing or sprocketsWorn chain or sprocketsCheck alignment and correct.Adjust take-up.Lubricate properly (follow instructions in lubri-cation section.)Draw up all bolts... brace housings if necessaryReplace chain and sprocket.Wear on chain side bars and sides ofsprocket teeth.Misalignment.Obstruction in guides, ways or casing.Correct alignment of sprockets and shaftsRemove obstruction...repair or replace dam-aged guides, ways or casing.Chain climbs sprockets.Poorly fitting sprockets.Chain worn long in pitch... or worn out.Insufficient chain wrap or excessive slack.Material build-up in sprocket tooth pockets.Loose or broken buckets.Replace sprockets...and chain if necessaryReplace chain.Increase chain wrap with idler or adjust centerfor proper slack.Remove material build-up.Tighten, repair or replace buckets. Broken pins and rollers.Elevator speed too high for chain.Shock or suddenly applied loads.Inadequate lubrication.Material build-up in sprocket tooth pockets.Bucket striking casing.Use chain of shorter pitch or sprocket withmore teeth.Reduce shock loads...easy starts give long life.Lubricate properly (follow instructions inlubrication section.)Remove material build-up.Check bucket clearance with casing or tightenloose buckets. PulsationChain tension too low.Chain speed too slow. Obstruction.Heavy or tacky lubricants.Sprockets with too few number of teeth, result-ing in a large amount of chordal action. Adjust take-ups to restore proper tensionIncrease size of sprocket or increase elevator speed.Remove obstruction and be sure lower strandis not striking foreign obstruction, ways or casing.Lubricate correctly.Replace with sprockets having correct numberof teeth.Chain gets stiff joints.
