CONVEYING

Chain conveyor

The chain conveyor performs a basic function in a feed mill, carrying out the transport of cereals, flours, pellets, flakes and extrudates at any stage of the production line.

Chain conveyors are ideal for covering long lengths and for the extraction of product from underneath hoppers.

Features

Engine

Direct drive with elastic coupling

Our chain conveyors are equipped with an elastic coupling system in the transmission. This system acts as a buffer against overloads or jams, protecting the conveyor from damage and preventing unexpected stops. In addition, its ability to smooth operation improves operational efficiency, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted production.

Chain

Heat-treated or forged link chain

The chain is composed of high-strength links, and is subjected to a heat treatment that significantly improves its properties. This process increases hardness and wear resistance, which translates into greater durability and reliability, even under demanding working conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a chain conveyor work?

A chain conveyor moves the material by means of a chain that drags the product along a closed channel. The chain is driven by a motor and travels on internal guides, pushing the material from the loading point to the discharge point continuously.

Where are chain conveyors located in an animal feed mill?

Chain conveyors are usually installed in horizontal conveying lines for raw materials or intermediate products such as cereals, flours or granules. They are commonly located between storage silos, dosing scales, mills, mixers or truck loading systems.

In which sectors can it be installed?

Our chain conveyors are specially designed to meet the needs of the agro-industrial sector:

Compound feed mills
Cereal processing plants
Flour mills
Pet food factories
Biomass plants
Extrusion plants
Oilseed handling
Handling of cereals, flours and their by-products in general

What maintenance is required?

The conveyor requires periodic maintenance at various levels, from weekly cleanings to more thorough overhauls every several years. Tasks include dust cleaning, checking chain tensioning, greasing bearings and checking the electrical system. Following these intervals ensures safe and efficient operation of the equipment over the long term.

What standards do our chain conveyors comply with?

All of our chain conveyors are certified ATEX EX II 3D T 195°CThis certification ensures safe use in environments with occasional presence of combustible dust (zone 22). This certification ensures that the equipment is designed to avoid any risk of ignition, even in demanding conditions, complying with the highest industrial safety standards.
