The Scraper Conveyor is a sophisticated continuous transport system characterized by its flexible traction component.Designed for efficiency, it utilizes a flexible traction mechanism.
This conveyor features a rectangular or U-shaped sealed trough, where the movement of the scraper chain generates a thrust force. This action seamlessly links the material and the scraper chain, creating a continuous flow. As the scraper chains are embedded in the material during transportation, it is also known as an 'embedded scraper conveyor.' This essential machine is pivotal for grain processing plants and warehouses.
Main Structure
The Scraper Conveyor comprises the following components: 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 exerts a hauling force. This force, coupled with the greater friction between the material and the trough wall, ensures materials move as a single entity under the thrust of the scraper, facilitating forward movement.
2)Vertical Transport
In vertical transport, materials are propelled by the scraper thrust and their own gravity. The pressure exerted by the bottom materials on those above creates lateral friction, stabilizing the materials against movement. This collective frictional force overcomes the gravitational forces, enabling the scraper chain to push the materials upwards smoothly.
Features
1) Simple structure,lightweight,compact size,easy manufacturing,installation,usage, and maintenance.
2)Excellent sealing, preventing dust dispersion.
3) Simple feed and discharge mechanisms allow for multiple feeding and discharging points.,multiple discharge.
4) Flexible technology layout, supporting material transportation in various directions.
5) Scraper chain and trough are prone to wear.
6) Higher moisture materials may cause adhesion and compaction, leading to floating chains.
