I. Overview of Chain Plate Conveyor:
A chain plate conveyor is a type of floor conveyor that can transport materials along horizontal and inclined directions. It is widely used in industries such as metallurgy, coal, chemical, automotive, power, and machinery manufacturing.
II. Advantages of Chain Plate Conveyor:
1. Using plate chains as traction elements not only provides high strength and reliable operation but also enables long-distance transportation (current conveying length has reached 1000 meters) with large conveying capacity.
2. Various structural attachments can be installed on the traction chain to meet different conveying requirements for various materials and achieve various continuous process flows. This capability is unmatched by other types of conveyors.
3. Compared to belt conveyors, supported conveyors can transport materials at larger inclination angles and smaller bending radii. The inclination angle of plate conveyors can reach 30° to 35°, with a typical bending radius of about 3m to 5m.
4. They can handle high-temperature materials (600° to 700°) and adapt to harsh working conditions, such as heavy logs, sharp-edged ores, and hazardous chemicals.
III. Main Components of Chain Plate Conveyor:
A chain plate conveyor generally consists of the following components: frame, drive device, tensioning device, and conveying chain.
