Chain Conveyor (CC)

Functional Description

Chain conveyors are suited for conveying systems that require complete enclosure for dust containment, hazardous, hot, elevated or overhead materials providing improved safety in the plant. Standard or specifically designed, our self cleaning chain conveyors can run horizontal, inclined and even vertical. The very heavy duty designs find application in conveying some of the most abrasive or cohesive materials in the cement, mining, chemical, steel, gypsum, alternative fuels or power industries.

The combination of the chain material, the method of manufacturing the links, the yield strength, hardening of the chain as well as the material of the fastening equipment such as bolts, pins and the tolerances transform our chain into a long lasting trouble free system. All connectors and pins are made of high quality alloy steel that is subjected to special treatments to enhance their duration and resistance to wear and tear.

Available in dust free, gas or pressure tight and explosion proof designs, chain conveyors can have multiple outlets feeding multiple surge hoppers. Whether the material is sticky, hot (up to 750°C) or abrasive, chain conveyors are the most reliable and durable for any industry.
