How many types of chain conveyors are there? What should be paid attention to when using chain conveyor?
Chain conveyor is an industrial conveyor line that appears in many fields of production and transportation. Do you know how many types of chain conveyors there are today? This article will help you get more useful information about the popular chain conveyors today.
1. What are the advantages of chain conveyors?
Chain conveyor has a simple and compact structure, so it is applied in many fields. Usually this conveyor will have 1-2 chains, the conveyor surface is placed on the chains. This will pull the product forward thanks to the force of friction.
Chain conveyor system can transport all kinds of goods with large weight. Especially applied in the assembly industry, manufacturing electronic components, machine components. Besides, it is also applied in processing and transporting food, agricultural products, bottled water, etc.
The advantages of chain conveyors are:
Simple design, flexible operation, easy installation and maintenance.
Has good resistance to wear and tear.
There are many designs such as straight, inclined, curved, etc.
The ability to transport large volumes of materials.
Minimize slippage during product transportation.
2. How many types of chain conveyors are there today?
Based on design, chain conveyors have types such as straight, inclined, curved, etc. In which, curved chain conveyor can redirect materials from 30 degrees – 90 degrees – 180 degrees, creating remarkable convenience. tell businesses to use.
According to the material, people divide chain conveyors into 2 types, which are plastic chain conveyors and stainless steel chain conveyors .
Plastic Chain Conveyor
Is a product line specialized in being used in light industry, especially assembling components, canning food. Plastic chain conveyor is flexible, simple in structure. While operating without loud noise, has high durability, very good wear resistance, and relatively low maintenance costs.
Stainless steel chain conveyor
The conveyor line is made of stainless steel (usually 304 stainless steel) with high durability, good bearing capacity, no rust. Stainless steel chain conveyor can transport heavy goods easily.
3. Precautions when using chain conveyors
When loading chains, customers always want to choose product lines imported from countries such as the US and Europe. This makes the production cost of chain conveyors very high. If your business does not have special environmental requirements or is subject to an overseas parent company’s designation, Cosmovina recommends that you can use the Indian or Chinese conveyor chain. The quality of the conveyor chain is also very stable, the life expectancy is 75% compared to the high-end lines.
When using, you should pay attention to the weight of the chain. Avoid placing too heavy objects, causing the chain to loosen, break, affecting production.
Regularly monitor conveyor belt operation to avoid foreign objects jamming and scratching the belt.
Maintain the conveyor chain regularly to ensure the conveyor belt works better.
After 12 hours of continuous operation, the conveyor should rest for 10-15 minutes before continuing to operate. This helps to reduce the amount of frictional heat during operation.
Should learn and choose to buy conveyor belts from reputable and professional manufacturers. This helps you to get the system you want, with high efficiency; and not wasteful.
For each production area, you can choose the right chain conveyor . When there is a need and want to install and design conveyor product lines, please contact us for the best advice.
