The discharge end of an elevator bucket conveyor where materials are transferred out of the buckets.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Head Section
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Belt Width | 400–1200 mm | Matches bucket widthISO 5048 |
| Head Pulley Diameter | 500–1000 mm | Affects belt wrap and discharge trajectoryDIN 22101 |
| Discharge Height | 5–40 m | Determines conveyor length |
| Capacity | 50–500 m³/h | Based on material density and bucket fill |
| Belt Speed | 1.0–2.5 m/s | Higher speed improves discharge but increases wear |
| Operating Temperature | -20–80 °C | For standard rubber belt; outside range use special materials |
| Motor Power | 5.5–75 kW | Depends on capacity and liftIEC 60034 |
| Voltage | 380–690 V AC | Other voltages available on requestIEC 60038 |
| Ingress Protection | IP54–IP65 | IP65 for outdoor or dusty environmentsIEC 60529 |
| Material Grade | Q235B | Carbon steel; stainless steel optionalGB/T 700 |
| Surface Treatment | C3 | Corrosion protection for moderate environmentsISO 12944 |
| Weight | 800–3500 kg | Varies with size and configuration |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Atmospheric to 0.5 bar (typically non-pressurized, but must handle material impact forces) |
| flow rate: | Up to 500 m³/hr (dependent on bucket size and conveyor speed) |
| temperature: | -20°C to 150°C (depending on material and seal options) |
| slurry concentration: | Up to 70% solids by weight (for abrasive-resistant designs) |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.

CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The head section is the terminal component at the discharge end. It houses the drive mechanism and head pulley, redirecting the conveyor path and facilitating controlled discharge of bulk materials from the buckets into a chute or downstream equipment.
The head section is typically available in carbon steel or stainless steel (food/pharma grade). The material grade for carbon steel is Q235B per GB/T 700, but stainless steel options are available on request.
Key parameters include belt width, head pulley diameter, discharge height, capacity, belt speed, operating temperature, motor power, voltage, ingress protection, material grade, surface treatment, and weight. These are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific application.
You should confirm with the legal manufacturer or supplier that the head section matches your conveyor belt or chain width, drive requirements, discharge chute interface, and environmental conditions. Also verify compliance with relevant standards such as ISO 5048, DIN 22101, and IEC standards.
