Scraper Conveyor and Chain Scraper Conveyor are commonly used for material transportation in industry, which are widely used in mining, metallurgy, construction, chemical industry and other fields. They realize the continuous conveying of materials through a specific working principle. Below is a detailed introduction about Scraper Conveyor and Chain Scraper Conveyor, including working principle and application.
Scraper Conveyor
1. Working principle
The working principle of a Scraper Conveyor is relatively simple, relying mainly on a chain and Conveyor Belt Scraper combination. The main body of the conveyor is a long trough, and at the bottom of the trough there is a chain with a number of Conveyor Belt Scraper fixed on the chain. The working process is as follows:
Material loading: the material is put into the trough from the loading port, usually through a hopper and other equipment.
Conveyor Belt Scraper movement: the electric motor drives the chain to rotate, and the Conveyor Belt Scraper moves with the chain. The Conveyor Belt Scraper is usually in the form of flat, slightly inclined or serrated shape for better gripping of materials.
Material conveying: The Conveyor Belt Scraper pushes the material forward in the trough, and the material is pushed to the other end of the conveyor by the Conveyor Belt Scraper and discharged from the discharge opening.
Return cycle: the chain continues to rotate and the Conveyor Belt Scraper returns from the discharge port to the loading port, completing a working cycle.
2. Application
Mining: It is used for conveying materials such as ore, coal, sand and gravel.
Sewage treatment: It can be used to convey sludge and other solid wastes.
Agriculture: suitable for conveying and sorting crops.
Manufacturing: Widely used for conveying parts or finished products in production line.
Chain Scraper Conveyor
1. Working Principle
Chain Scraper Conveyor is a specific type of Scraper Conveyor, whose main feature is the use of chain-driven Conveyor Belt Scraper. The working principle is similar to the general Scraper Conveyor, the main difference is the structure and carrying capacity.
Chain drive: the chain is driven by an electric motor, and is usually of double or multiple chain design to enhance the load carrying capacity and stability.
Conveyor Belt Scraper design: The Conveyor Belt Scraper is usually a strong steel plate, similar in shape to the general Conveyor Belt Scraper, and designed to adapt to the form of different materials.
Material Conveying: While the chain moves in the trough, the scraper continuously conveys the material from the loading area to the unloading area, the process is continuous and efficient.
Multi-point unloading: Some Chain Scraper Conveyor can be designed for multi-point unloading to meet different process requirements.
2. Application
Mineral conveying: It is used in coal mines, metal mines, etc. for efficient conveying of large-scale materials.
Chemical industry: suitable for handling all kinds of granular and powdery materials, such as fertilizers and catalysts.
Food industry: used for conveying all kinds of powder and granular materials in food industry.
Construction engineering: it can be used to carry cement, sand and gravel and other construction materials by chain scraper conveyor.
Summarize
Both Scraper Conveyor and Chain Scraper Conveyor are effective material conveying equipment, which can improve efficiency and reduce labor costs. Scraper Conveyor is suitable for more simple material conveying, while Chain Scraper Conveyor has more advantages in carrying capacity and adaptability. The selection can be combined with the nature of the conveyed material, conveying distance and environmental conditions and other factors to determine the appropriate equipment. No matter which type of conveyor you choose, reasonable design and maintenance can ensure its efficient and stable work.
