    Our scraper chain conveyor is the high-performance solution for your chip and material transport. Among other things, it consists of two chain strands and flights, so-called scrapers, which are perfectly matched to the transported material and therefore guarantee a high degree of flexibility in terms of possible applications. Our scraper chain conveyor is extremely versatile and available as a dry or wet conveyor - depending on whether or not liquid is included in the process.

    Our scraper chain conveyor is available in different versions, whether as a stand-alone conveyor with container or as a seamlessly integrated unit in your system. You also receive specific equipment options for indoor or outdoor installation. Regardless of whether you use the scraper chain conveyor outdoors or in a hall - we adapt the system flexibly to your individual requirements.

    The special guide system of the scraper chain conveyor ensures that the chains are held down and a safe, trouble-free discharge is guaranteed. For particularly large and long conveyors that are exposed to increased stress from abrasive media, we produce both chains and armored conveyors. This means you benefit from our robust and durable solution, which is particularly resistant to demanding materials.

    With variable chain spacing, conveyor lengths and incline angles, for example, we adapt the scraper chain conveyor individually to your process and local conditions. Put your trust in our experience and use our systems to ensure smooth and reliable material and chip transport.

Properties

The scraper chain conveyor is equipped with two chain strands, one on the right and one on the left. On the underside of the conveyor, the dirt is removed by scrapers between the chain strands. The flights are precisely matched to the transported material to ensure a smooth process.

The scraper chain conveyor is equipped with two chain strands, one on the right and one on the left. On the underside of the conveyor, the dirt is removed by scrapers between the chain strands. The flights are precisely adjusted to the transported material to ensure a smooth process.

The scraper chain conveyor is versatile and suitable for both dry and wet conveying. It is therefore equally suitable for applications with and without fluid in the process. We also offer you the choice between a stand-alone conveyor with container or integration into the existing system concept, each equipped with specific equipment for indoor and outdoor use.

The scraper chain conveyor is equipped with roller chains as standard, which means that each chain link is fitted with an individual roller, so that the wear from rolling in the chain is distributed over each individual link and does not just occur at one pivot point. Our conveyors are therefore reliably available to you over the entire life cycle of your processing machine in multi-shift operation.

The special guide system ensures that the chains are held down to guarantee safe and trouble-free material discharge. To ensure particularly energy-efficient operation, the deflections over which the chains run are made of wear-resistant material, which minimizes rolling resistance. This enables the use of economical geared motors in our systems.

The chain and conveyor are armored for particularly long and large conveyors that are used under increased stress from abrasive media. A rotation monitor controls the mechanical rotation of the conveyor. If the chain is blocked, the system sends a signal to the processing machine within milliseconds, stops the conveyor, reports the fault and thus prevents the chain from breaking. Your investment is optimally protected with us.

Technical details:

  • Chain: 38, 63, 100, 150 mm chain pitch, depending on the length and width of the conveyor
  • Conveyor: single system up to 50 m long, but several hundred meters long when linked together
  • Incline angle: max. 60°

    The integrated self-cleaning function reduces the need for manual intervention and thus lowers your personnel costs.

Properties

The suction slotted screen filter module was specially developed for use in conveying systems with fluid.

The system includes a suction pump that draws the fluid from inside the process via a slotted screen. The drivers move on the underside, ensuring regular discharge and cleaning of the system. This separates the liquid from the chips very efficiently.

The system is an integrated filter stage in a conveyor system, which helps to separate out a large proportion of the dirt load. This reduces the load on the downstream filter system.

The scraper elements of the chain are equipped with openings specially adapted to the dirt for the return flow of the fluid, so that the carry-over of liquid from the process is minimized.

In addition, level sensors are fitted to the side of the suction slotted screen filter module, which detect excessive or insufficient amounts of fluid in the tank and switch the pump on or off accordingly. This demand-based control ensures the extremely energy-efficient and reliable operation of the system.
