Description
Product Overview
The Z-type bucket elevator is a continuous conveying device for conveying powder, granular or small pieces of materials vertically or obliquely. It is named because its conveying path is in the shape of a “Z”. It combines the characteristics of vertical and horizontal conveying and is suitable for complex working conditions that require multi-directional conveying.
Key Features (Advantages)
The Z Type Bucket Elevator is designed for gentle and efficient vertical transport of bulk materials. It is ideal for applications requiring multi-point feeding and discharging, with the following features:
Gentle Handling: Ensures low product breakage during transport
Enclosed Structure: Dust-proof and hygienic, suitable for food and pharmaceutical industries
Flexible Design: Customizable inlet and outlet positions to match factory layout
Material Options: Available in carbon steel, stainless steel 304/316
Easy Maintenance: Modular design allows for convenient cleaning and part replacement
Applications (Industries)
This elevator is suitable for a wide range of industries, especially where hygiene and low breakage are crucial:
Food Processing (e.g. rice, beans, nuts, dried fruits)
Pharmaceutical Industry (tablets, pellets)
Chemical Industry (powder, granules)
Grain Storage and Handling
Animal Feed
Plastic Pellet Conveying

Technical Parameters
Conveying Method: Continuous vertical lifting by chain or belt
Material Types: Granular, powdery, small lump materials
Bucket Types: Plastic, carbon steel, stainless steel
Discharge Method: Centrifugal or gravity discharge
Structure Options: Z-shape, L-shape, C-shape

Working Principle
The Z type elevator uses a series of buckets attached to a chain to lift materials vertically. The buckets collect materials from the bottom feed point and discharge them at the top or side outlet. The Z-shaped structure allows flexibility in routing around equipment or obstacles, with smooth and enclosed operation to maintain product cleanliness and integrity.
Selection Guide
If conveying high-temperature, high-abrasion materials → Select plate chain bucket elevator (NE)
🔹 If conveying general granular & powdery materials → Select ring chain bucket elevator (TH)
🔹 If conveying materials with good fluidity such as grain and feed → Select belt bucket elevator (TD)
🔹 If conveying food, medicine, electronic products → Select Z-type bucket elevator
