Chain Conveyor is used in horizontal bulk material conveying for abrasive and hot material which cannot be handled by Belt Conveyors.
A Chain Conveyor is a material-handling system that uses one or more chains to move loads. It is designed for transporting heavy, bulky, or abrasive materials that cannot be handled by belt conveyors. Chain conveyors offer high strength, durability, and reliable operation in challenging industrial environments
Chain Conveyor have high load-carrying capacity. They are designed to transport heavy, bulky, or abrasive materials efficiently and are suitable for industrial environments that demand rugged handling. They have durable construction and are built using robust materials like alloy steel or stainless steel which ensures long service life even under continuous or harsh operating conditions. Chain Conveyor have efficient material handling. They are ideal for moving items that are difficult to convey on belt conveyors. They can handle pallets, containers, automotive parts, and other rigid loads smoothly. They have versatile design options and are available in single-strand, double-strand, or multi-strand chain configurations and can be customized for floor-mounted or overhead applications. The smooth and synchronized movement provides controlled and reliable movement due to chain-driven mechanism. It reduces slippage issues common in belt conveyors. The Chains are easy to inspect, lubricate, and replace. Minimal downtime compared to other conveyor types. Chain Conveyor are suitable for harsh environments and performs well in dusty, oily, or high-temperature industrial settings. They are often used in manufacturing, automotive, mining, and assembly lines. Chain Conveyor can be designed for straight, curved, inclined, or vertical transport. Allows integration into complex conveyor systems.
A Chain Conveyor works by using a continuous chain arrangement to move materials from one point to another. It is designed to handle heavy loads, harsh environments, and continuous operation. The system starts with a motor and gearbox. The motor powers a drive sprocket, which rotates and pulls the chain forward. One or more high-strength metal chains loop around the drive sprocket and a tail sprocket. As the sprocket turns, it drags the chain along the conveyor path.
Depending on the conveyor type, the chain provides a positive drive, meaning the load cannot slip.
The chain runs on guides or wear strips to reduce friction. Support frames keep the chain aligned and maintain tension. A tensioner or spring-loaded arrangement keeps the chain tight to avoid slippage or derailment. The tail sprocket completes the loop. The chain keeps circulating as long as the motor runs, giving smooth and controlled movement.
