First, pipe chain conveyor overview

Pipe chain conveyor is a continuous conveying equipment for conveying powder, small particles and small pieces of bulk materials, which can be combined with horizontal, inclined and vertical transportation. In the closed pipe, the chain piece is used as the transmission component to drive the material to move along the pipe. When conveying horizontally, the material particles are pushed by the chain in the direction of movement. When the internal friction between the material layers is greater than the external friction between the material and the tube wall, the material will move forward with the chain, forming a steady material flow; When vertically transported, the material particles in the tube are pushed upward by the chain, because the lower feed prevents the upper material from sliding, resulting in lateral side pressure, so the internal friction of the material is enhanced, when the internal friction between the materials is greater than the external friction of the material and the inner wall of the pipe and the material's own weight, the material is transported upward with the chain, forming a continuous material flow. The powder material can move or change direction along the closed pipe in a straight line in the three-dimensional space; Horizontal conveying distance up to 60 meters, vertical conveying distance up to 30 meters.

In the process of conveying materials, the pipe chain conveyor has the characteristics of large Transport capacity, long service life, low maintenance cost, good sealing, safety and low energy consumption, and also has the vertical conveying ability of the bucket elevator, while the layout is more flexible (horizontal - vertical/tilt-horizontal), and higher sealing performance. No material return in vertical conveying, no damage to the material, no dust characteristics. When transporting water-bearing materials, easily adsorbed materials, and materials with a very light gravity, an electric cleaner can be installed in the chassis.

Second, pipe chain conveyor performance characteristics:

1, compact structure, small space, can change the direction of three-dimensional transport, not affected by terrain, Angle and height; The conveying process is carried out in a closed pipeline, without dust flying;

2, the conveying process is balanced, there is basically no internal movement between the materials, less damage, to ensure the quality of materials, suitable for abrasive materials;

3, will not produce system blockage, suitable for conveying a variety of forms of materials;

4, the conveying of mixed materials, will not produce material stratification phenomenon;

5, large Transport capacity, low energy consumption, greatly reducing equipment operating costs;

6. All moving parts are operated in a closed space, safe and reliable;

7, can achieve long-distance transportation;

8, can be deployed at will multiple inlet and outlet to meet the process requirements;

9, easy to achieve centralized control, improve the degree of automation.
