Chain conveyor

horizontalinclinedvertical

These machines represent the most suitable solution for horizontal, inclined, or vertical transport of bulk materials, especially in the case of particular environmental needs or material characteristics (temperature, abrasiveness…). Motridal’s range of production includes both central chain and double chain conveyors, with forked link chains or round steel chains (for cleaning chains). Motridal manufactures a wide range of central chain conveyors. The chain of these conveyors is made of drop-forged links in varying steel materials and alloys in accordance with the individual application. Chain links are casehardened and tempered for wear and impact resistance. Steel scrapers are welded to the chain links for material conveying. Steel scrapers are welded to the chain links for material conveying. The scrapers are “V-shaped” to allow for chain self-centering. This type of machine allows the conveying of material with horizontal and vertical paths simultaneously. The size of double chain conveyors can reach up to 55”, thanks to the presence of two traction elements, which allow the use of longer scrapers. For these machines, Motridal uses specially designed casehardened and tempered drop-forged forked links. Flights are fixed by means of special pins to the chain links. The chain guides made in wear-resistant steel are bolted to the internal side of the conveyor casing for easy maintenance and replacement. Cleaning chains are used to collect and recycle the material spilled from open conveyors (belt conveyors, pan conveyors, apron conveyors…) in order to reduce product accumulation underneath the conveyor and environmental pollution.
