1. Bucket conveyors must be firmly installed on a solid concrete foundation. The surface of the concrete foundation should be flat and horizontal to ensure that the bucket conveyor meets the vertical requirements after installation.
For bucket conveyors with higher heights, the middle and upper casings should be connected to adjacent buildings (such as silos, workshops, etc.) at appropriate locations to increase their stability. During installation, first install the lower components, fix the anchor bolts, then install the middle casing, and then install the upper casing. After the casing is successfully installed, correct the verticality. Measure with a plumb line at the full height, and the error should be less than 10mm. The upper and lower axes should be parallel, and their axis lines should be in the same plane.
When installing a bucket conveyor with a lower height, the upper, middle, and lower casings can be connected and corrected on the ground plane, and then the whole is hung straight and fixed on the concrete foundation.
2. After the casing is installed, install the chain and hopper. The U-shaped screws used for hopper connection are both chain joints and hopper fixings. The nuts of the U-shaped screws must be tightened and reliably prevented from loosening.
3. After the chain and hopper are installed, they should be properly tightened.
4. Add appropriate amounts of engine oil and butter to the reducer and bearing seat respectively. The reducer is lubricated with industrial gear oil. Calcium-based or sodium-based butter can be used in the bearing seat.
5. Test run. After the installation is completed, the empty car test run should be carried out. When running empty, attention should be paid: no reversal and no bumping. The empty run should be no less than 2 hours, there should be no overheating, the bearing temperature rise should not exceed 250℃, and the reducer temperature rise should not exceed 300℃. After running empty for 2 hours, if everything is normal, the load test can be carried out. During the load test, the feeding should be uniform to prevent excessive feeding and blockage of the lower part to cause "stuffy car".
