Vertical Vibration Elevator

What Is a Vertical Vibration Elevator?

The Vertical Vibration Elevator is a continuous vertical conveyor designed to lift powders, granules, pellets, small lumps and short-fiber materials. Unlike a conventional screw conveyor, its conveying trough remains stationary while dual vibration motors generate the conveying force. The machine can be configured for vertical lifting, cooling, drying, screening or enclosed dust-controlled conveying.

Vertical vibration elevator adds cooling auxiliary function on the original basis: water cooling, air cooling or double cooling structure, so as to achieve the required temperature of the material when it is discharged, so as to enter the next link faster, and the failure rate is low.

Function of Vertical Vibration Elevator

The vertical vibrating hoist is used to convey and lift powdery, blocky and short fiber materials, and can be used for feeding materials such as filling machines, not only for lifting, but also for drying and cooling during the lifting process, unlike other hoists Compared with the equipment, it is not easy to damage the shape of the material.

In the case of ensuring the stability of the foundation and low failure rate and maintenance rate, this device can also achieve other functions within a certain range:

1. Cooling hoist

Specifically for high-temperature materials that need to be cooled within a certain range during the transportation process, the vertical vibration elevator can add cooling auxiliary functions on the basis: water-cooled, air-cooled or double-cooled structures to achieve the required temperature when the material is discharged , so as to enter the next link faster.

2. Sealed heating

Some users want to heat the interior of the hoist. First, the conveying part must be tightly sealed, and there are certain restrictions on the heating method and temperature. The hot air method requires that the temperature after internal heating should not exceed 180 degrees Celsius. Other heating methods require The part where the heating body itself is in contact with the steel plate does not exceed 120 degrees Celsius.

3. Screening

The equipment itself can realize the function of preliminary sieving, but the mesh value is not less than 2.5mm, and the sieving function can only be used as a preliminary sieving for removing large particles or fine powder, and its sieving accuracy and sieving results are not too much Requirements, the effect of preliminary screening is OK.

Principles of Vertical Vibration Elevator

When the vertical vibration elevator is working, according to the self-synchronization principle of the dual vibration motors, the vibration motor generates the exciting force, which forces the entire conveying tower body to perform a spatial compound vibration of horizontal circular motion and upward vertical motion, and the materials in the spiral groove are affected by the conveying groove. It makes a circular throwing motion at a uniform speed and moves upward along the conveying trough to complete the upward (or downward) conveying of materials.

Benefits of Vertical Vibration Elevator

Conveying & Drying & Cooling

The elevator can transport powder, block and short-fiber solid materials (except those with stickiness and easy agglomeration) vertically, and can also complete the drying and cooling of materials.

Large delivery volume

The fuselage is stable and can be fed 360 degrees. Compared with other lifting and conveying equipment, it has the advantage of good protection to the shape of the material. The conveying capacity is up to 20 tons/hour, and the height is ≤ 8.5 meters.

Customizable

Vertical vibration elevator is separated into groove type and closed type structure, which can increase the water cooling, air cooling and double cooling structure to achieve cooling effect.

Low cost

The machine has a simple design and structure, is easy to install, use and maintain, consumes less energy, occupies less floor space, and saves investment.

2. The closed type: is a closed conveying trough structure, which is used for upward (or downward) conveying operations where there are dust-proof requirements for materials.

Structure and Dimensions of Vertical Vibration Elevator

The Vertical vibration elevator consists of a conveying tower, a lifting trough, a vibration motor, a vibration damping system and a base.

Conveying tower: It is composed of a pipe body and a spiral conveying trough welded around the pipe body, and the conveying tower is seated on the vibration damping device.

Vibration motor: Two vibration motors of the same type fixed on the lifting tank are installed at a certain angle across the center line, and can be installed on the upper and lower parts of the conveyor tower.

Shock absorption system: buffer the exciting force generated by the vibration motor.

DZC vertical vibration elevator can add functional configuration:

How to Choose a Vertical Vibration Elevator?

Choosing the right Vertical Vibration Elevator is important for achieving stable conveying performance, reducing operating costs, and improving production efficiency. Different materials and production requirements require different machine configurations. Before selecting a model, the following factors should be considered.

Material Characteristics.The first factor is the type of material to be conveyed. Powder, granules, flakes, pellets, and small lumps can all be transported by a Vertical Vibration Elevator. Material properties such as particle size, bulk density, moisture content, temperature, and flowability directly affect the machine design and conveying capacity.

Required Conveying Capacity.The conveying capacity determines the diameter of the spiral trough and the power of the vibration motors. Users should provide the required capacity in tons per hour or kilograms per hour.

Lifting Height.The lifting height is the vertical distance between the feeding inlet and the discharge outlet. Standard Vertical Vibration Elevators are commonly used for lifting heights from 2 to 8 meters.

Higher lifting heights generally require larger equipment, stronger support structures, and more powerful vibration motors. Therefore, accurate lifting height information is essential for model selection.

Material Temperature.The operating temperature of the material is another important consideration. For high-temperature materials such as alumina, fertilizer, foundry sand, or chemical products, additional cooling functions may be required.

Open or Closed Structure.Users should determine whether the material requires dust-proof or contamination-free conveying.An open structure is suitable for materials that need cooling, drying, or easy observation during operation.A closed structure is recommended when handling dusty materials or when environmental protection and cleanliness are important.

Vertical Vibration Elevator Case Studies

Conveying alumina

Conveying alumina

The calcined alumina cannot be screened directly because its temperature is too high. The vertical vibration elevator can be used to cool the alumina by wind during the transportation or lifting process, so that the temperature can be reduced to 50-100 degrees, and then screened. The alumina powder at this temperature is relatively dry, which is more conducive to screening.

Conveying chicken bouillon

Conveying chicken bouillon

The finished MSG, Chicken Essence and other foods have a certain temperature after processing, and need to be cooled before being bagged. The vertical vibration elevator can be used to load the material to dissipate heat easily, and it can also be directly transported to the bag filling machine.

Conveying pills

Conveying pills

The finished pills are viscous to a certain extent, and they are easy to agglomerate due to the wet weather during transportation. The conveying effect of the belt conveyor is not good, and the cost of the bucket elevator is high. If our conveying volume is not too large, the vertical vibrating elevator is a good choice.
