CONVEYING
Flight conveyor
The flight conveyor is a chain conveyor system equipped with hardened plastic paddles that ensure a smooth pellet handling.
The pellet requires the most comfortable and gentle handling possible to avoid generating excess fines. For this, it is convenient to handle with gravity at low heights and when there is no other alternative, to use conveying systems that do not have a violent treatment of the pellet.
Features
Installation
Installation flexibility
Flight conveyors are installed underneath the pelletizers to receive the newly formed pellets in a gentle and efficient manner. Thanks to their design, these conveyors can be configured with an inclination of up to ten degreesThis facilitates material flow without compromising pellet integrity or generating excess fines.
Chain
Treated steel chain with bolted high-strength blades
Treated steel chain with bolt-on heavy-duty pellet blades is designed not only for durability, but also for ease of maintenance. The bolt-on paddles allow for quick and easy replacement, reducing downtime in the event of wear or damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
A paddle conveyor is an industrial equipment designed to move the product from the inlet to the discharge area in a smooth and controlled manner. The movement is made by means of plastic paddles fixed to a chain, which push the material along the channel without damaging or compacting it.
They are generally installed at the end of the pelletizing line, just below the shredder, where they collect the product to be discharged into the bucket elevators.

Handling of cereals, flours and their by-products in general
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.
All of our pallet conveyors are certified for 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.
Both conveyors use a chain as a dragging system, but differ in design and use. The chain conveyor drags the material directly with metal links, being more robust and suitable for dense or abrasive products, while the paddle conveyor has plastic paddles bolted to the chain, which allows a gentler transport, ideal for pellets or other delicate products.
