The dewatering bucket elevator (also known as “Laokeng” bucket elevator), a key piece of equipment for solid‑liquid separation in the mining and mineral processing industries, is currently undergoing on‑site installation and commissioning. It is mainly composed of a blue steel bucket structure and a lifting frame, and is designed for dewatering and elevating materials such as mineral slime.
Core Advantages of the Equipment
The special bucket structure achieves efficient solid‑liquid separation during lifting, significantly reducing material moisture content.
Reinforced steel buckets and frame make it suitable for the heavy‑duty environment of mineral processing plants.
Widely used in the “laokeng” (sedimentation pit) process in coal preparation and ore dressing, improving material handling efficiency.
The inclined installation design adapts to the site layout, ensuring reliable operation and a low failure rate.


On site Progress
The photos show workers assembling the bucket components (left) and the installed bucket lifting structure (right). After installation is complete, the equipment will enter trial operation and is expected to officially undertake dewatering and lifting tasks for mineral materials at the customer’s processing plant.
