Chain conveyors

Horizontal transport or transport on a slight upward incline

Chain conveyors transport floury, grainy and lumpy bulk materials horizontally or on a slight upward incline. Chain conveyors can also be used as receiving chain conveyors and for silo discharge.

Starting with our standard modular-system we adapt the chain conveyor to the product properties, the installation option and the process requirements.

Brief description of chain conveyors

Motor mounting plate with geared motor and flexible coupling
Take-up end and drive end, outside varnished and inside untreated, or hot-dip galvanised
Troughs of strip-galvanised steel, outside varnished as an option and inside untreated
Return rollers made of plastic (standard for KF240, KF315 and KF350) or ball-bearing return rollers made of steel (standard for KF440 and KF560)
Wear bar made of highly wear-resistant steel, e.g. Hardox, guide rail made of St52, with plastic base no wear bar
Conveyor chain according to DIN 8165 with single bent-back plates
