Slat Chain Elevator, Feeding Incline Slat Conveyor, Heavy-Duty Slat Conveyor

Slat chain conveyor, also known as slat conveyor. It is a conveying machine adopting circulating chains as traction power and metal plates as carrying surfaces. There are two types in domestic market: one assembled with chains, support shafts and metal slats; the other made of curved chains and metal slat belts.

Application Scope

Slat chain conveyors are widely used in building materials, metallurgy, electric power, coal, chemical industry, foundry and other industries. They are especially suitable for high-temperature, large lump, sharp-edged and highly abrasive solid materials. For cement industry, it is the preferred equipment for clinker conveying at the end of vertical kilns.

Working Principle

BL slat chain conveyor is a flexible continuous conveying equipment with traction chains and apron plates. When running, the drive unit rotates the head sprocket, driving the meshed chains forward. Buckets and support rollers fixed on chains move synchronously along the frame track. Materials are fed into buckets at the inlet and transported to the discharge outlet. Under gravity and centrifugal force, materials are discharged for the next process.

Features

1. Wide application range. It can convey most solid materials and packaged items except highly viscous materials.
2. Large conveying capacity.
3. High tensile strength of traction chains for long-distance transportation.
4. Flexible layout. Compared with mesh belt conveyors, slat chain conveyors can operate at steeper inclination and smaller bending radius. Inclination angle can reach 30°–35°, bending radius is generally 5–8 m.
5. Multiple processes such as sorting, drying, cooling and assembly can be performed during conveying.
6. Stable and reliable operation.
