Hinged belt conveyors - Innovation in motion - Maximum efficiency in material handling

The hinged belt conveyor is characterized by its exceptional durability and robustness. This enables trouble-free operation with very low follow-up costs. Signs of wear are reduced to a minimum thanks to the intelligent design and the use of high-quality materials. The hinged belt conveyor is extremely flexible in its application and can be used successfully as a dry and wet conveyor in a wide variety of areas.

    The hinged belt conveyor consists of a special apron conveyor made up of hinges. The bulk material moves over these plates and is reliably conveyed out of the machine.

    Flexibly adjustable plate belt pitches, varying between 38 and 150 mm, are precisely adapted to your specific processes and materials. This ensures maximum safety and high machine availability, minimizing maintenance effort and costs.

    The upright deflections are made of special, wear-resistant materials, as are the drive sprockets of the slat-band conveyor. This ensures trouble-free and reliable operation. Thanks to its intelligent design, the system achieves service lives that easily cover the life cycle of a processing machine in multi-shift operation. The system is therefore extremely profitable and pays for itself in a short time.

    To protect the entire system, an electronic run monitoring system is integrated to prevent blockages and hinge plate breakage. The hinged belt conveyor is fully automated and can be seamlessly integrated into your existing machine concept.

    The conveyor is tailored precisely to your requirements and is available with or without an ascending section, as a Z or angled conveyor. Individual systems are available with conveyor lengths of up to 50 m. Various hinged belt conveyor widths are also available.

    The system is designed as a single conveyor or interlinked system and is application-specific for indoor and outdoor use.

Properties

The hinged belt conveyor is equipped with a special hinged apron conveyor. The bulk material runs on the plates and is conveyed safely out of the machine.

The hinged belt conveyor also consists of two chain strands, one on the right and one on the left, as well as the plates in between. The chains are equipped with individual rollers, are easy to move and run in a continuous guide. This enables the use of economical geared motors and at the same time reduces the power required to operate the system. As a result, the system is particularly energy-efficient.

The incline angle of the conveyor is 60°. Special flights ensure that the material continues to be transported in the ascending section and is discharged optimally. The slat conveyor pitches are variable and range from 38 to 150 mm. Plates of different sizes, individually armored, hard-faced or perforated, are used depending on the application. We create the perfect conveyor system for every application.

The stationary deflections and the drive sprockets are made of special, wear-resistant materials. This ensures a service life that easily covers the life cycle of a processing machine in multi-shift operation. You benefit from the very low follow-up and wear costs of the system and contribute to greater sustainability within your processes. To protect the entire system, electronic run monitoring is integrated to prevent blockages and hinge plate breakage. With this Industry 4.0-capable system, you are equipped for the future and reduce your personnel costs and maintenance costs thanks to the high level of automation.

The hinged belt conveyor is suitable for both dry and wet applications in the fluid and gives you maximum flexibility. For use as a wet conveyor, the system also has a lifting station with integrated pumps and fill level sensors. The fluid pre-filtered by the chain is fed into the process and downstream filtration. The contained liquid flows through the plate and along side-mounted separator plates into the tank. Solids and liquid are separated without the need for additional energy.

Designed for indoor and outdoor use, the hinged belt conveyor can be used as a stand-alone conveyor or as part of an interlinked system, depending on the application. Its simple integration into existing machine concepts makes it particularly flexible and adaptable.

The conveyor is designed precisely to your requirements - with or without an inclined section, as a Z or angled conveyor. The discharge height and container are also individually designed to meet your requirements. Conveyor lengths of up to 50 m and various widths can be realized for individual systems.

Technical details:

  • Apron feeder pitches: between 38.1-63-150 mm
  • Conveyor lengths: up to 50 m and various widths
  • Drive power: 0.09-3 kW
  • Pitch angle: up to 60°

Advantages

  • Low wear and follow-up costs due to long service life

    The hinged belt conveyor is characterized by its exceptional durability and long service life. You benefit from outstanding machine availability, process reliability and a short amortization period, as the system works reliably over a long period of time. Its long service life makes it a particularly sustainable system with a positive environmental footprint.

  • Low maintenance effort

    Thanks to the fully automated and intelligently controlled hinged belt conveyor, you benefit from reduced system maintenance, lower personnel costs and reduced machine downtime. Investing in systems from Lehmann will save you money.

  • Energy efficiency and sustainability

    The intelligent design of the system minimizes rolling resistance and thus drastically reduces the power required to operate the system. You reduce your energy costs and ensure sustainable processes. The exceptionally long service life also reduces waste and conserves our resources.

  • Precisely fitting design

    The system is tailored precisely to your requirements, specific materials and existing processing machines in your process. Belt width and panel spacing are flexibly adapted to ensure maximum efficiency, safety and profitability.

  • Low carry-over of fluid out of the system (wet conveyor)

    The hinged belt conveyor minimizes the carryover of fluid out of the system, as the contained liquid flows through the plate and onto side-mounted separator plates. This ensures that the fluid finds its way safely back into the tank.

  • Protection for pumps and technology

    The intelligent design of the suction slotted screen filter module ensures the greatest possible protection of your pumps and other technology by preventing blockages, extending service life and thus reducing costs.

  • Demand-driven control for energy efficiency and sustainability

    Our suction slotted screen filter module is demand-controlled, which means that it optimizes energy consumption and, thanks to intelligent pump control, only provides exactly the pressure that is needed in the process. The high degree of automation minimizes manual intervention and contributes to the sustainability of the entire system.

  • Efficient transportation of enormous quantities of dirt and chips - Reliability and safety

    The system effectively and efficiently transports enormous quantities of dirt and chips from your fluid. This ensures reliable and safe operation even under demanding conditions in industrial machining processes.

  • Space-saving and flexible

    The system requires minimal installation space, is extremely space-saving and can be easily integrated into your existing scraper chain conveyor. You benefit from maximum flexibility and are future-proof.

  • Energy efficient and economical

    No lifting pumps or similar are required, as the suction slotted screen filter itself acts as a lifting pump.

Areas of application

  • Material: Short crushed chips, but also woolly/bulky chips
