/images/stories/virtuemart/product/DG00083.jpg - Chain Conveyor Coupled Section

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting bulk materials such as grains, powders, and aggregates in a controlled manner.
• Moving products through processing lines, including drying, cooling, or packaging stages.
• Handling waste products or by-products in industrial and food processing environments.
• Integrating into automated systems for continuous material flow between different machinery.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on chain speed, width, and material density, but commonly ranges from several tonnes per hour for this class of equipment.

Chain type

This unit features a simplex chain, suitable for a range of light to medium-duty conveying tasks.

Construction material

Typically steel or stainless steel, depending on the intended application and hygiene requirements.

Power supply

Drive units for chain conveyors commonly utilise 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz, requiring a motor appropriate for the load.

Maintenance requirements

Regular lubrication of chain and bearings, tension checks, and inspection for wear are typically required for optimal operation.

Footprint

As a coupled section, the length is variable, with width and height determined by the specific design of the conveyor system it integrates with.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a 'coupled section' in a chain conveyor?

  A coupled section refers to a segment of the conveyor designed to be joined with other sections to form a longer conveying path. This allows for modular system design and customisation of length.

• Why are supporting blocks recommended between coupled sections?

• What types of materials are suitable for a simplex chain conveyor?

• Can this section be integrated with existing conveyor systems?
