The Scraper Conveyor is a type of continuous transport equipment equipped with a flexible traction component.flexible traction component.
It utilizes a rectangular or 'U' shaped section material trough, where the movement of the scraper chain link, driven by thrust force, transforms material and scraper chain link into a cohesive transport system. During transportation, the scraper chains are embedded within the material, earning it the name 'embedded scraper conveyor.' This machine is integral to grain processing plants and grain warehouses, serving as a primary conveying equipment.
Main Structure
The Scraper Conveyor comprises several key components: the trough,scraper chains,head wheel and tail wheel,inlet and outlet,drive device and tensioning device.
Working Principle
1) Horizontal Transport
During horizontal transport, the direct action of the scraper chain causes the hauled material to adhere closely, creating a cohesive unit with the trough wall. The scraper thrust force propels this unit forward, ensuring efficient material transfer.
2)Vertical Transport
In vertical transport, materials are driven upward by the scraper thrust and their own gravity. The materials at the bottom support those above, creating lateral pressure against the trough walls. This interaction minimizes movement friction and stabilizes the materials, allowing the scraper chain to efficiently transport the unit upward.
Features
1) Simple structure,lightweight,compact size,easy to manufacture,install,use, and maintain.
2)Excellent sealing properties prevent dust dispersion.
3) Simple feeding and discharge devices allow for multiple feeding,and multiple discharge points.
4) Flexible technology layout enables materials to be transported in various directions.
5) Scraper chain and trough are prone to wear.
6) Transporting high-moisture materials can lead to adhesion and compaction, increasing the risk of floating chains.
