What is a chain conveyor?

The Chain Conveyer is a continuous conveying equipment for powdery, granular, and small blocky materials, which drives the material along the pipeline by means of chain links as the transmission components within an enclosed pipeline.

Introduction to Chain Conveyors

Within enclosed pipelines, the chain links act as drive components to propel material along the pipeline. During horizontal conveyance, the material particles are subjected to a thrust force from the chain links in the direction of motion. When the internal friction between the material layers exceeds the external friction between the material and the pipe wall, the material moves forward with the chain links, forming a stable material flow; during vertical conveyance, the material particles within the pipe are subjected to an upward thrust from the chain links. Due to the lower feed preventing the upper material from sliding down, a lateral side pressure is generated, thereby enhancing the internal friction of the material. When the internal friction between the material particles exceeds the external friction between the material and the pipe inner wall, as well as the material's own weight, the material is conveyed upward with the chain links, forming a continuous material flow.
