# Industrial Specification: Bucket

## 1. Technical Definition
A container component of an elevator bucket conveyor designed to hold and transport bulk materials vertically or at an incline.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-150 kg load capacity, 0-3 m/s vertical velocity, -20°C to 80°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Material yield strength exceeded at 250 MPa stress, fatigue failure at 10^6 cycles at 150 MPa alternating stress, wear limit at 5 mm material loss**, Mechanism: **High-cycle fatigue from cyclic loading at material grain boundaries, abrasive wear from particle friction (coefficient μ=0.3-0.7), stress concentration at fillet radii below 5 mm**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Material embrittlement from cold working exceeding 30% reduction | 8 | Brittle fracture at stress risers during impact loading | Normalization heat treatment at 900°C followed by controlled cooling at 50°C/hour |
| Corrosive pitting from chloride ion concentration exceeding 500 ppm | 8 | Stress corrosion cracking initiating at pit depth &gt;0.1 mm | 316L stainless steel construction with 3% molybdenum content for chloride resistance |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |

### Industrial DNA Context (De-duplicated)
**Complementary Dependencies**: **Bucket Elevator Drive Unit**, **Material Feed Hopper**, **Discharge Spout Assembly**  
**Downstream Applications**: Grain Handling Systems, Cement Production Lines, Fertilizer Processing Plants  

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are best for corrosive material handling in elevator buckets?
**A**: Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance for harsh materials, while polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) provide chemical resistance at lower cost for less abrasive applications.

### Q: How do I select the right elevator bucket for my conveyor system?
**A**: Consider material characteristics (abrasiveness, moisture, temperature), capacity requirements, discharge method, and whether vertical or incline transport is needed. Our engineers can help match bucket design to your specific application.

### Q: What maintenance is required for elevator bucket conveyor components?
**A**: Regular inspection for wear on the front lip and bottom, checking fastener integrity, and monitoring for material buildup. Carbon steel buckets may require periodic coating maintenance, while polymer buckets resist corrosion but need inspection for cracking.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 9001:2015 - QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
