Scrape grain conveyors and buried scrape conveyors are two different types of conveyors. Although the names are similar, there are specific structure and working principle differences. Today let’s take a look at the difference between these two types.
- Different structure. A scrape conveyor is a conveyor that uses a scraper fixed on the traction chain to scrape and transport bulk materials in an open trough. This type of conveyor mainly includes an open trough, traction chain, scraper, and head drive chain. Wheel and tail tensioning sprocket, etc.; the buried scraper conveyor is transportation equipment that uses a scraper chain moving in a closed shell to transport the bulk materials according to the predetermined target. It is structurally compatible with the scraper conveyor. The difference is that the open trough is replaced by the machine trough with a closed section, and the other components are the same.
- Different applicable fields. The plate chain layout of the scraper conveyor can be divided into side double chain type, quasi-side double chain type, medium single-chain type, medium double chain type and triple chain type. The structure of the scraper conveyor is simple and firm, and the accuracy requirements are low. , Convenient loading and unloading, small height, especially suitable for the coal industry; and the buried scraper conveyor can transport materials in the horizontal, inclined and vertical directions has the advantages of small size, strong sealing, good rigidity, and technology The layout is flexible, and it can feed and discharge at multiple points. It has many applications and is often used for conveying cement, grain, feed and other materials.
- Different fixing methods. The scrape grain conveyor is fixed on-site, the buried scraper conveyor is a trench under the level ground, and the scraper conveyor is fixed in the trench.
- Different working environment. The buried scraper conveyor is beneficial to environmental protection in the trench. The buried scraper conveyor is named because the scraper is buried by the material. The main difference from the ordinary scraper conveyor is that its working environment is completely sealed. Only the inlet and outlet and other environments are closed.
In this way, after distinguishing the two from the four aspects of structure, application field, fixing method, and working environment, we have a deeper understanding of these two kinds of grain conveyors, and it is believed that we can choose the suitable conveyor to a certain extent.
Yutung conveyor manufactures the scrape chain, scrape flight and sprocket.
