Chain Scraper Conveyor and Scraper Chain Conveyor are both equipment used for material conveying, especially in the field of mining, industry and agriculture, which are widely used for handling bulk materials. Although the working principle of these two kinds of equipment is similar, there are some differences in design and application. The following will introduce their characteristics, working principle, application areas and maintenance respectively.
I. Chain Scraper Conveyor
1. Working principle
Chain Scraper Conveyor uses chain and scraper to convey materials. Its working principle is:
Chain drive: the chain in the equipment is driven by the motor movement, the chain is usually made of high-strength steel, can withstand high tensile force.
Scraper role: the chain is fixed with a number of scrapers, scraper through the movement of the chain will be conveyed by the material shoveled up and pushed to the conveying direction.
Material conveying: the material is pushed by the scraper along the conveying trough, so as to realize the continuous conveying of the material.
2. Main features
Strong abrasion resistance: Since the scraper and chain are usually made of high abrasion-resistant materials, they can withstand the harsh working environment.
Simple structure: simple design, easy operation and maintenance, high production efficiency.
Strong adaptability: it is suitable for conveying dry and loose materials, such as coal and ore.
3. Application fields
Coal and mining industry: used to transport materials such as coal and ore to the hoisting system or another processing location.
Building material transportation: used for conveying materials in sand and gravel quarries, prefabricated component factories and other places.
Agriculture: for conveying granular materials such as grain and feed.
4. Maintenance and upkeep
Regularly check the chain and scraper: make sure they are free from wear and tear.
Lubricate the chain: lubricate the chain and machine parts regularly to reduce friction and prolong service life.
Clean the conveying trough: clean the residual materials in the conveying trough regularly to keep the Chain Scraper Conveyor clean.
Scraper Chain Conveyor
Scraper Chain Conveyor is a specific form of Chain Scraper Conveyor, describing a special type of chain conveyor, its design and operation are similar to Chain Scraper Conveyor, but there are some differences in details.
1. Principle of operation
Chain and scraper: similar to the Chain Scraper Conveyor, the Scraper Chain Conveyor is also driven by chain and equipped with scraper.
Material conveying: the material is lifted by the scraper under the movement of the chain and conveyed forward.
2. Main features
High performance: Scraper Chain Conveyor is designed to enhance the conveying efficiency, usually there is a number of chains running in parallel to increase the carrying capacity.
More adaptable: capable of handling a wider range of material types, including viscous materials, granular materials, etc.
Uniform conveying: due to the cooperation of multiple scrapers, the material can be distributed more evenly, reducing the phenomenon of clogging.
3. Application Areas
Mining and Coal Mining Industry: Used for conveying all kinds of ores and coal, and still has good working performance under longer conveying distance.
Industrial production: including chemical, food and other industrial fields, used to handle granules, powders and other forms of bulk materials.
4. Maintenance and upkeep
Check the connection between scraper and chain: maintain the correct tension to prevent breakage.
Regular lubrication: Regularly lubricate the chain and its connecting parts to prevent abrasion and release the jamming phenomenon.
Monitor the running status of the equipment: pay attention to the working noise and vibration of the equipment in real time, and find and remove the faults in time.
Summarize
Chain Scraper Conveyor and Scraper Chain Conveyor both play an important role in material transportation. Chain Scraper Conveyor are suitable for conveying most bulk materials with their simple and efficient structure, while Scraper Chain Conveyor are suitable for more complex material handling and long distance conveying. Proper maintenance and care is essential to ensure the efficient operation of these machines. If you still have questions about the working principle or other aspects of these two types of equipment, please feel free to let us know!
