A well elevating conveyor/elevator is a large mechanical equipment that transports by changing the potential energy, such as mine hoists, dam crossing hoists, etc. Generally speaking, elevators, overhead cranes, hoists, stabilizers, cranes, and hoists can all be called elevators. Elevators generally refer to large mechanical equipment with high power and strong lifting capacity.

What we are talking about here is a bucket elevator, which is a fixed mechanical conveying equipment mainly suitable for continuous vertical lifting of powdery, granular and small block materials. It can be widely used in various scales of feed mills, flour mills, rice mills, oil mills, starch mills, as well as grain depots, port terminals, etc. for lifting bulk materials.
