Scraper conveyor is a kind of equipment mainly used for conveying bulk materials, which is widely used in coal mines and other industrial occasions. According to different constructions and uses, there are many types of scraper conveyors, including chain scraper conveyor, coal mine scraper conveyor, coal conveyor and so on. Their working principles are described in detail below.
Scraper Conveyor
The basic structure of Scraper Conveyor includes frame, scraper, chain, driving device and chute. When working, the driving device (usually an electric motor) drives the chain to rotate through the reducer, and the fixed scraper on the chain moves accordingly. The scraper will scrape up the materials at the bottom and transport them to the discharging position, and the whole process realizes continuous conveying.
Chain Scraper Conveyor
Chain Scraper Conveyor is a specific form of scraper conveyor, which adopts chain as the conveying medium, and the scraper is fixed on the chain. The working principle is similar to that of scraper conveyor, but its chain structure is more solid, which is suitable for conveying heavy materials, especially for hopper device and chute.
Coal Mining Scraper Conveyor
Coal Mining Scraper Conveyor is designed for coal mining industry and often used in underground mines. Its working principle is similar to that of chain scraper conveyor, but it usually adopts wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to the high humidity and easy abrasion characteristics in the coal mine environment. It is equipped with reliable safety protection devices to cope with various risks in the mine.
Coal Conveyor
Coal conveyor is a specialized equipment for conveying coal, usually with belt transfer structure. It may integrate the functions of a scraper conveyor to transport coal directly from one place to another. The basic principle of this conveyor is to convey coal by rotating a conveyor belt or scraper driven by a motor.
Conveyor Belt Scraper
A Conveyor Belt Scraper is primarily a combination of a conveyor belt and a scraper conveyor. The scraper is fixed on the conveyor belt and can convey the material to the specified position through the scraper while the conveyor belt is moving. When working, the motor drives the conveyor belt, and the scraper lifts the material to form continuous conveying.
Scraper Chain Conveyor
Scraper Chain Conveyor combines chain and scraper technology to provide stable conveying capacity. Its working principle is similar to the chain scraper conveyor, which drives the scraper through the chain to realize continuous conveying. It is suitable for handling more viscous materials or large lumps of materials, and is widely used in coal mines, sand and gravel quarries, chemical industry and other fields.
