Conveyor Selection Criteria

For troughed belt conveyor:

For deciding which type of equipment you want to design? For that Parameter includes: 1 What's the material you are going to deal with ? 2 What are the physical characteristics of the material? Such as the size,temperature,density,moisture content,etc 3 What's the producing capacity you are going to achive?

Screw conveyor:
Screw conveyor is a kind of continuous transmission equipment which without immunity traction components, it uses rotation screw to convey material. The screw conveyor is of simple structure, low marking cost, strong sealing, safe ,convenient operation and other advantages, It allows multiple inlets and outlets. It is widely used in various industrial department(such as building materials, chemicals, electric power, metallurgy, coal, mine, food and other industries)to convey powder, granular and lump material, such as, coal, ash, slag, cement, food, etc. The temperature of material is less than 200C. Screw conveyor is not suitable for transporting those material which is perishable, with big viscous and easy caking. In the concrete mixing plant screw conveyor's effect reflected to the fullest. Our company can design and manufacture special models based on your needs.

Main characteristics:
1.Compact structure, small cross section, light weight 2.Good seal performance, good transportation efficiency 3.Flexible technological arrangement, easy to be installed , dismantle and moved, safe operation 4. Totally enclosed design for dust and vapor-tight requirements 5. Designs available for high temperature material 6. Ideal for abrasive, corrosive or other materials

Applicable materials:
Loose materials such as powder, granular and small piece material , which includes: clay powder, pulverized coal, cement, sand, grain, small piece of coal , cobble, and cast iron filings, etc. While it is not applicable for materials with high viscosity and easy to be curdled. Widely applied:It is widely used for the loose cement transportation from cement warehouse to mixer or from cement warehouse to compounding machine in concrete mixing plant. Chain conveyor : Chain conveyors utilize a powered continuous chain arrangement, carrying a series of single pendants. The chain arrangement is driven by a motor, and the material suspended on the pendants are conveyed. Chain conveyors are used for moving products down an assembly line and/or around a manufacturing or warehousing facility.[1]

Chain conveyors are primarily used to transport heavy unit loads, e.g. pallets, grid boxes, and industrial containers. These conveyors can be single or double chain strand in configuration. The load is positioned on the chains, the friction pulls the load forward.[2]Chain conveyors are generally easy to install and have very minimun maintenance for users.[3]

Many industry sectors use chain conveyor technology in their production lines. The automotive industry commonly use chain conveyor systems to convey car parts through paint plants. Chain conveyors also have widespread use in the white and brown goods, metalfinishing and distribution industries. Chain conveyors are also used in the painting and coating industry, this allows for easier paint application. The products are attached to an above head chain conveyor, keeping products off of the floor allows for higher productivity levels.
