There are two main types of chain conveyors, namely scraper conveyors and chain plate conveyors. Its main characteristics are as follows:


(1) Scraper conveyor

Applicable places: It can be used for conveying bulk materials in degree, inclination, and vertical directions, commonly used for conveying raw grains, semi waste, and waste materials in grain and oil and feed processing plants, especially suitable for conveying oilseeds in the consumption process of oil processing plants and raw grains in grain warehouses.

Advantages: Simple structure, good sealing, easy installation of loading and unloading, multi-point loading and unloading, sensitive layout, and the ability to simultaneously deliver materials in multiple directions.

Defect: The material trough is prone to wear, especially the conveyor belt and chain are severely worn.

(2) Chain plate delivery machine

Applicable places: mainly used for local warehouses or inland ports.

Advantages: The board can hold heavier goods, and the chain has good flexibility and high strength.

Defects: Self weight, wear, and higher power consumption compared to belt conveyors.

Additionally, introduce a type of conveyor - chain conveyor, which has the following advantages compared to other intermittent transport machinery:

As a high-performance continuous conveyor, the chain conveyor can stably form the material transportation process from initial feeding to final unloading according to the technical requirements of material transportation within a certain range. Therefore, compared with other intermittent transportation machinery or cement transportation machinery, the chain conveyor has the following advantages in transporting materials:

(1) It can continuously transport materials in the same direction without stopping during loading and unloading, and can stop transportation at high speeds, thus having a high consumption rate.

(2) Due to the stable average feeding and operating speed of the chain conveyor, the power consumption during operation does not change much, therefore, the installation power of the drive is relatively small.

(3) The difference in maximum load of the chain conveyor is small, so the calculated load during design is small.

So, chain conveyors are increasingly occupying an important position among many loading and unloading and handling machinery. Moreover, in various modern industrial enterprises, chain conveyors are no longer just material transport machines, but have become an organic component unit in the consumption process of industrial enterprises.
