Trough chain conveyors

for 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 intake chain conveyors and for silo discharge.

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

Basic design

  • Motor mounting platform with geared motor and flexible coupling
  • Tensioning station and driving station, outside varnished and inside untreated, or hot-dip galvanised
  • Troughs of strip-galvanised steel or outside varnished 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 rails made of highly wear-resistant steel, e.g. Hardox, guide rail made of St52. With plastic bottom no wear rail
  • Conveyor chain according to DIN 8165 with single bent-back plates
