The Scraper Conveyor is a state-of-the-art, continuous transport system,featuring a flexible traction component designed for efficiency.
The system operates within a smooth rectangular or 'U'-shaped sealed material trough. Utilizing the thrust force of the moving scraper chain links, it transforms materials and chain links into a continuous flow. During transport, the scraper chains become embedded in the material, giving it the name 'embedded scraper conveyor.' This equipment is essential for grain processing plants and grain warehouses.
Main Structure
The Scraper Conveyor comprises:,scraper chains,head wheel and tail wheel,inlet and outlet,drive device and tensioning device.
Working Principle
1) Horizontal Transport
In horizontal transport, the direct action of the scraper chain increases the frictional force between the material and the trough wall, making it stronger than the internal friction of the material. This cohesion makes the material move as a single unit under the thrust of the scraper.
2)Vertical Transport
In vertical transport, the materials get moved by the scraper's thrust, gravity, and the support from the material below. This creates lateral pressure and friction, stabilizing the materials and overcoming gravity and friction within the trough, keeping the materials moving steadily upwards.
Features
1) Simple structure,lightweight,compact size,easy manufacturing,installation,usage, and maintenance.
2)Excellent sealing, preventing dust spread.
3) Simple and versatile feeding and discharge devices,,allowing multiple feeding and discharging points.
4) Flexible technology layout for multi-directional material transport.
5) Susceptible to wear on scraper chains and troughs.
6) Challenges with high-moisture materials, leading to adherence, compaction, and potential floating chains.
