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.

Trough chain conveyor
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
