What is the chain conveyor?
The transport of fine particles from one point to another in the set can be difficult because dust can be created to create a dangerous working environment. To face this problem, a campaign conveyor can be used. This transport system is fully closed to avoid entering the air and circulation of dust and circulating a building or other space, which potentially leads to workers' disease. The chain conveyor has a cable or chain that passes through a long pipe; Discs sometimes known as "pucks" are connected to the chain and these pucks are dimensioned to fit closely into the pipeline. The transport chain conveyor will contain several pucks on the chain, often hundreds of them to move effectively with fine particles. The puck can be made of metal or synthetic materials such as plastic, and it will generally be distributed several inches or even the feet apart to allow enough storage space. The chain conveyor string is flexible so it is possible to guide mattčeče around the corners in the pipeline.
While the most suitable application for a chain conveyor is to move fine particles such as sand or grains, the system is not suitable for moving larger objects. In fact, it is probably stuck if larger objects are located inside, leading to increased maintenance and repair. Some models of the towing chain conveyor use cables instead of chains to pull pucks; If this is the case, routine maintenance will be required to look at the cable for dimensions that can lead to a complete system failure.
As an alternative to the drag chain system, some manufacturers will instead use a blower system that basically drives the pipeline material into the drain container. This system can lead to excessive dust production, especially at the discharge point. Another alternative to the towbar is Auger's conveyor that has a long screw that turns ina direct tube. The screw teeth are driven by materials in a certain direction due to the method in which the screw rotates. However, the drago conveyor has the advantage over the Augas conveyor, because the copyright conveyor cannot have any curves or angles; The tube must be straight to adapt to a straight snail.
