The Scraper Conveyor is a type of continuous transport equipment characterized by its flexible traction component.It is equipped with a versatile traction component that enhances its functionality.
Featuring a rectangular or 'U'-shaped section material trough, this system utilizes the thrust force generated by the moving scraper chain links. This action integrates the material and scraper chain into a cohesive, continuously moving unit. During transportation, the chains are embedded in the material, giving rise to the name 'embedded scraper conveyor.' This machinery is essential for grain processing plants and warehouses.
Main Structure
The Scraper Conveyor comprises various components including the trough,scraper chains,head wheel and tail wheel,inlet and outlet,drive device, and tensioning device.
Working Principle
1) Horizontal Transport
During horizontal transportation, the scraper chain's direct action hauls the material. The friction between the material and the trough wall ensures that the material moves as a whole, driven forward by the scraper's thrust force.
2)Vertical Transport
In vertical transportation, the scraper's thrust, the material's gravity, and the lower material's support create lateral pressure. This stabilizes the material, allowing it to move as a cohesive unit despite friction, overcoming gravity and material resistance.
Features
1)Simple structure,lightweight,compact design,easy to manufacture,install,use, and maintain.
2)Excellent sealing properties, preventing dust dispersion.
3)Simple feeding and discharge devices, allowing for multiple feeding,and multiple discharge points.
4)Flexible technological layout, accommodating material transportation in various directions.
5)Scraper chain and trough are prone to wear.
6)When transporting higher moisture materials, adhesion and compaction may occur, causing the chain to float.
