1. Overview of the Discharge Process
- TSJ Bucket Elevator uses a traction mechanism to lift material vertically at high speed.
- When buckets pass over the head pulley, trajectory shifts from vertical to horizontal/downward.
- This instantaneous change triggers the discharge action based on force transformation.
- Discharge relies on a combination of centrifugal force, gravity, and bucket geometry.
2. Centrifugal Force‑Dominated Ejection
- During high‑speed operation, centrifugal force is the primary driver of discharge.
- Material experiences strong radial outward force as bucket passes over the head pulley.
- For dry, free‑flowing powdered or granular materials, this force overcomes weight and adhesion.
- Material is ejected in a parabolic trajectory into the discharge chute with high efficiency.
3. Gravity‑Assisted Sliding Mechanism
- Gravity plays an indispensable role, especially for viscous, moist, or dense materials.
- As the bucket passes the apex and begins to invert, material slides down the inner wall.
- Optimized bucket geometry minimizes residue and ensures smooth gravity‑assisted discharge.
- Complementary to centrifugal force for complete bucket emptying.
4. Synergistic Mixed Discharge
- Most material is first ejected by centrifugal force, then remaining material is discharged via gravity.
- Combined action of gravity and the bucket's inversion angle ensures full discharge.
- Adapts to varying material characteristics (e.g., flowability, moisture).
- Guarantees continuity, efficiency, and stability of the conveying system.
