Failure of chain links of a bucket elevator is inevitable. For this reason, analysis of failure is
very crucial to the continuous improvement on the chain links which as a result will minimize …

A failure of conveyor chain links in a production process can cause unscheduled shutdowns,
which increase the throughput time coupled with damaged buckets and chain links, which …

Present work investigates the in-service break down of a bucket elevator in a chemical
processing plant. The elevator was used for lifting bulk Di-Ammonium Phosphate and broke …

Failure analysis is a branch of science which deserves more concern from researchers.
Here a case study of a chain conveyor link which was broken after only one month of …

Bucket Elevators are powered equipment for conveying bulk materials in a vertical or steep
inclined path, consisting of an endless belt, or chain to which metallic buckets are fixed. With …

This case study is to investigate the causes of failure of chain system through
characterization on the failure component. The failures that occur are relate to welding …

Inclusions, pores, and cracks which are defects in materials are important in determining the
structural integrity and durability of components. Modeling accurately, these defects are …

These are powered equipment for conveying bulk materials in a vertical or steep inclined
path, consisting of an endless belt, or chain/s to which metallic buckets are fixed. With the …

A failure in the bottom sheet of a bucket conveyor (KZB-Q. AUMUND) during service was
investigated. Sheets are coupled to the chain throught a screw connection; they operate in …

This case study is to investigate the causes of failure of chain system through
characterization on the failure component. The failures that occur are relate to welding …
