This is a short article to introduce certain basic aspects of bucket elevator chains and bucket elevator conveying systems to non-technical persons. It describes components of something using roller chain & sprockets.
A Bucket Elevator is an economical and efficient inclined conveying system in which buckets are 
installed on a circulating conveying program, to vertically convey a wide selection of small to bulky components to successive delivering systems. These elevators are available across the entire spectrum of industry.
A range of mechanical drives can be used to power bucket elevators such as for example:
– Direct drive geared engine.
– Electric engine drive using V-belt & pulleys.
– Electric motor drive utilizing a roller chain & sprocket.
– Electric motor drive utilizing a combination of the 2nd & 3rd options.
– Geared motor with roller chain & sprockets.
Bucket Elevators often consist of several buckets attached to a bucket elevator chain by means of brackets connected with a chain bolt in a loose fit, with sprockets located in strategic points and at the very top and bottom of the unit.
