Spillage is a common problem for many plants, having the potential to produce severe and costly consequences that can hinder productivity potential, increase clean-up costs, pose hazards to workers’ health, and increase the environmental impact of production processes. It is estimated that more than 80% of material dispersed in the factory is due to spills from conveyors, especially apron-based and rubber belt conveyors. Magaldi offers a solution for overcoming the threats to profitability and environmental sustainability posed by conveyor belt spills. Installed under the head section of the conveyor, the Spill-chain recovers the dry material scraped up by the cleaning device. In the case of sticky or toxic materials or for a complete cleaning of the unit, the Spill-chain can be installed over the entire length of the conveyor. Four different configurations are available: Spill-chain N-type It is suitable for light industrial applications and not abrasive materials (coal fines), with belts up to 30 m in length. The 1000 mm wide configuration recovers up to 1 m³/h of spilled material. Spill-chain Z-type It is suitable for discharging spilled material in an area next to the conveyor (or onto another conveyor). All chain links are in NiCrMo alloy steel and have different dimensions according to the specific application. An optional electronic control device is available to protect against accidental overloads. This unit monitors the rotation of the tail shaft.
