CHAIN CONVEYORS

GENERAL DESIGN OF CHAIN CONVEYORS

We customize our chain conveyors to ideally suit your requirements and application.

HOUSING

  • Dust-protected
  • Gastight (e.g. for extraction plants)
  • Oil-tight (e.g. press-oil from oilseeds)

TROUGH CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS

  • Chain guiding on plastic anti-wear bars (our standard) or with manganese steel anti-wear bars
  • Plastic bottoms available
  • Optionally with bolted abrasive resistant lining for bottoms and sidewalls (e.g. in Hardox 450 quality)


CONVEYOR CHAINS

  • Bushed conveyor chain (link chain, similar to DIN 8165), with tempered pins & bushes and bolted-on plastic flights for very quiet and low-wearing operations
  • Drop-forged conveyor chain (fork-type chain)
  • Round link chain


DRIVE CONCEPTS

  • Indirectly driven with a chain drive (ratio = 1:3)
  • Directly driven with a clutch
  • Directly driven with bevel geared drives (with hollow shaft)


CHAIN TENSION

  • Chain tensioning with stainless steel spindles. Spring compression take-up to maintain constant chain tension (reduction of wear and tear of sprockets and chain)

SPROCKETS

  • Hardened teeth with dirt notches, always in split design


INSPECTION FLAPS

  • Positioned above sprockets by our standard
  • Optionally further inspection hatches on request


BEARING

Customized for each conveyor type and size, e.g.:

  • Head: out-board heavy-duty pillow block roller bearings
  • Tail: out-board heavy-duty center push take-up roller bearings in a strong take-up frame


SEALING

  • Dust protected conveyors:
    Shafts: Split rotary shaft seals
    Trough Flanges: Silicon
  • Gastight conveyors:
    Shafts: Packing glands
    Trough Flanges: PTFE-seals
  • Other options for other applications available on request (e.g. heat resistant)


MODELS

Chain Conveyors are divided into two different models:


MODEL A


Flache Kettenausführung für Trogkettenförderer

  • Horizontal transportation or on a slight incline (to about 15°)
  • Housing widths up to 1,600 mm
  • Conveying capacities up to 500 t/h (1000 m3/h)


MODEL B


Hohe Kettenausführung für Trogkettenförderer

  • Inclined to vertical transportation (from about 16° - 90°)
  • Including or excluding curve segment (cobra type conveyors)
  • Housing widths up to 900 mm
  • Conveying capacities up to 250 t/h
  • Conveying volume up to 500 m3/h
