The chain conveyor mainly consists of chains, sprockets, driving devices, tensioning devices and frames, etc. The motor drives the sprockets to rotate through the driving devices, so that the chains can move in a circular motion on the sprockets. Materials are placed on the chains and are transported to the designated positions along with the movement of the chains.
Characteristics of the chain conveyor:
Strong conveying capacity
The chain conveyor can transport materials of various shapes and properties, such as blocky, powdery and granular ones. It has a large conveying capacity and can meet the needs of large-scale production.
Wide adaptability
Whether in high-temperature, low-temperature, humid or corrosive environments, the chain conveyor can operate stably. It can adapt to different working conditions and is widely used in industries such as food, chemical, mining and machinery.
Stable and reliable operation
The meshing between the chains and sprockets is tight, the transmission is smooth, and the phenomenon of slipping is unlikely to occur. Meanwhile, the structure of the chain conveyor is simple, it is convenient to maintain, has a low failure rate and can ensure continuous operation for a long time.
Flexible layout
It can be flexibly laid out according to the actual situation of the production site to achieve the combination of various conveying modes such as horizontal, inclined and vertical ones. This enables the chain conveyor to adapt to different production processes and space requirements.
Application fields of the chain conveyor:
Food industry
During the food processing and packaging processes, the chain conveyor can transport various food raw materials and finished products, such as fruits, vegetables, meat and beverages. Its hygienic design and corrosion resistance can ensure the quality of food.
Chemical industry
Chemical products usually have the properties of being corrosive, flammable and explosive. The special materials and sealing design of the chain conveyor can effectively prevent material leakage and environmental pollution. Meanwhile, it can also meet special requirements such as high temperature and high pressure in the chemical production process.
Mining industry
During the mining and ore dressing processes, the chain conveyor can transport materials such as ores and coal. Its high strength and wear resistance enable it to adapt to harsh working environments and improve production efficiency.
Mechanical manufacturing industry
The chain conveyor can be used for the transportation of mechanical parts and assembly lines, improving the degree of production automation and work efficiency. It can also be used in cooperation with other mechanical equipment to achieve seamless connection of the production line.
