Chain conveyors

A chain conveyor is a construction that uses chains and slats to scrape the material forward. Chain conveyors are also called scrape conveyors. Our chain conveyors are usually units in a larger installation. They can be adapted to your needs and are supplied in a large range of designs.

The chain conveyors, just like the screw conveyors, are covered to minimise dust. And to reduce noise and wear on the chain, the bottom plate can be equipped with wear plastic.

Chain conveyors consume more energy and need more maintenance in comparison with belt conveyors, but their construction can be an advantage in transporting, for example, materials that produce dust.

Loading and discharge: Increased number of loading and discharge zones are facilitated as this design does not have a belt, enabling flexible positioning of these zones.
Inspection hatches: Adapted according to solution, e.g. conventional or transparent hatch.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chain Conveyors

What is a chain conveyor?
A chain conveyor, also known as a scraper conveyor, uses chains and flights to drag and transport material forward in an enclosed construction.
What materials can be transported?
Chain conveyors are used to transport biomass, wood chips, ash, sludge, pellets, grain, minerals, and other bulk or powder materials.
How does a chain conveyor work?
Material is scraped forward by flights mounted on chains, providing controlled conveying and allowing multiple loading and discharge points along the conveyor path.
What are the advantages of chain conveyors?
They are enclosed and dust-reducing, handle tough material flows, and allow several inlet and outlet positions along the transport line.
Are there any disadvantages?
They require more energy and maintenance compared to belt conveyors and can have higher wear-related costs.
Can chain conveyors be customized?
Yes, our chain conveyors are tailored to the customer’s flow requirements, capacity, material type, and plant layout.
Can wear-resistant plastic be installed?
Yes, the bottom plate can be fitted with wear-resistant plastic to reduce noise and chain wear.
How is dust managed?
Chain conveyors are enclosed and minimize dust emissions, making them suitable for dusty or fine materials.
What accessories are available?
Accessories include additional loading and unloading zones, inspection hatches, overload protection, and customized inlet/outlet solutions.
What maintenance is required?
Regular lubrication, inspection of chain tension, flights, and wear parts are recommended for optimal performance.
