Chain conveyors
In cases where it is necessary to move loads that are heavier than those for which a belt conveyor is designed, as well as for transporting substances with a high temperature (including outside production premises), many enterprises use a chain conveyor.
The Techservice company will manufacture and install equipment of this type according to your order, as well as take care of its maintenance and repair.
We employ highly qualified and experienced professionals who are able to effectively perform such tasks.
Operating principle
Traction force is generated by the scraper chain conveyor with the help of one or more chains - they are responsible for transmitting torque to the actuators.
Each chain is equipped with scrapers and is located inside the transport compartment, where bulk or small-packed cargo is fed through the loading opening.
The chain is constantly moving and scrapers pick up the contents of the compartment, continuously moving it to the place of unloading, which is carried out through a special funnel.
There are three types of such conveyors:
-
Vertical - it is used to transport goods between floors and can be equipped with hooks, shelves, etc.
-
Horizontal - the manufacture of such structures is often ordered for elevators, since they are optimally suited for grain and other bulk fine materials.
-
Inclined - it is located at an angle in the horizontal plane, the size of the angle is selected depending on the specifics of production and the nature of the cargo.
Advantages
Units of the described type are often used in the agricultural and mining industries, as well as in the automotive industry, metallurgy, aircraft manufacturing, etc.
Their popularity is due to the following advantages:
-
high productivity;
-
sufficiently high power;
-
hermetic case, which excludes the possibility of cargo leakage;
-
low energy costs;
-
reliable and ergonomic design.
What determines the cost of equipment
If we talk about the main factors on which the price of a chain conveyor depends, then first of all we need to name the following of them:
-
track length;
-
circuit characteristics;
-
type of drive;
-
level of equipment automation;
-
the presence of individual characteristics.
