The Scraper Conveyor represents a cutting-edge solution in continuous material transport systems, engineered for efficiency and reliability.This sophisticated machinery utilizes a flexible traction component to ensure seamless operation.
Designed with a rectangle or 'U' shaped section material trough, the Scraper Conveyor utilizes the thrust force of a moving scraper chain to consistently transport materials. This action transforms material and chain into a unified whole, ensuring steady conveyance. As the scraper chains are embedded within the material during transport, it is also commonly referred to as an 'embedded scraper conveyor.' This machine plays a pivotal role in grain processing plants and storage warehouses, making it indispensable in these industries.
Main Structure
The Scraper Conveyor comprises several key components: a durable trough,robust scraper chains,head and tail wheels,inlet and outlet ports,drive device, and a tensioning device for optimal performance.
Working Principle
1) Horizontal Transport
During horizontal transportation, the direct action of the scraper chain ensures that the material being hauled remains cohesive and moves as a single unit due to greater internal friction as compared to the friction against the trough walls. This cohesive movement, driven by the scraper thrust force, facilitates efficient forward transportation.
2)Vertical Transport
In vertical transport, materials are driven upwards by the scraper thrust and their own weight, creating lateral pressure and friction that stabilize the material layers. This stability allows the conveyor to efficiently overcome gravitational and frictional forces, ensuring consistent vertical movement.
Features
1) Simple structure,lightweight,compact size,easy to manufacture,install,use, and maintain.
2)Excellent sealing, preventing dust dispersion.
3) Simple feeding and discharge mechanisms, enabling multiple feeding points,and multiple discharge points.
4) Flexible technological layout, suitable for multi-directional material transport.
5) Susceptibility to wear in scraper chain and trough.
6) When transporting high-moisture materials, the system might experience adhesion, compaction, and potential floating chain issues.
