The Scraper Conveyor is a remarkable type of continuous transport equipment, designed to revolutionize material handling.Engineered with a flexible traction component,
it efficiently operates within a smooth, sealed rectangular or 'U'-shaped material trough. By utilizing the thrust force of the moving scraper chain link, this conveyor transforms into a seamless unit, ensuring consistent material transport. As the scraper chains become embedded in the material, it earns its name 'embedded scraper conveyor.' This indispensable machine is a cornerstone for grain processing plants and grain warehouses.
Main Structure
The Scraper Conveyor's robust structure includes a trough,scraper chains,head wheel and tail wheel,inlet and outlet,drive device, and a tensioning device.
Working Principle
1) Horizontal Transport
During horizontal transportation, the direct action of the scraper chain ensures that the material's inertia surpasses the friction against the trough walls. This action creates a cohesive movement, propelling materials forward as a unified entity under the scraper's thrust.
2)Vertical Transport
For vertical transportation, materials are driven upward by the scraper's thrust, their own gravity, and the vertical pressure from materials below. This combination forms a lateral pressure against the trough walls and between material layers, overcoming friction and gravity for a stable upward movement.
Features
1)Simple structure,lightweight,compact size,and easy manufacturing,installation,operation, and maintenance.
2)Excellent sealing properties, ensuring no dust spread.
3)Simple feeding and discharge mechanisms, allowing for multiple feed and discharge points.
4)Flexible technology layout for transporting materials in various directions.
5)Scraper chains and troughs are subject to wear.
6)Suitable for transporting higher moisture materials, but may lead to adhesion, compaction, and floating chain issues.
