Design And Analysis of Bucket Elevator Bucket using static structural analysis method

Bulk, dry, moist, and even liquid items are transported using bucket elevators. Depending on the type of material to be transported, it is constructed for various criteria like as height, speed, and structural strength. The project’s major goal is to boost the elevator bucket’s weight bearing capability. The relief of strain on the bucket lead edges and clamping bolts is another goal. When bucket elevators are subjected to extreme operating circumstances or buildup (in the case of sticky bulk materials), they are prone to malfunction. High capacity buckets are intended to hold heavier loads in order to prevent these issues. The finite element method can be used to do this. Solidworks 2018 was used to create a 3D model of a Bucket Elevator.and analyzed using ANSYS 16.1.
