How to Clean a Bucket Elevator
Compared with other types of conveying systems on the market, bucket elevators are more time-consuming to clean, because their bucket design makes the cleaning work more difficult. You may find it harder to clean if the bucket is located on the deeper side because the bucket does not have enough space for you to access the inside of the bucket. In this article, we will tell you how to clean the parts of the used bucket elevator easily.
The cleaning of the bucket elevator parts should be periodic. Perform the necessary daily cleaning once a day, and perform deep cleaning once a year. Buckets have a life cycle. With a scheduled downtime, you should then remove the buckets from the elevator. Don’t try to clean the buckets while still attached as this opens up the possibility of injuries.
What’s more, you don’t remove the buckets from the elevator, it leaves debris or cleaning solution within the buckets. After the operation, you need to check whether the bucket is old or damaged, and then repair or replace it.
