Ketikonveierid

Ketikonveierid, also known as chain conveyors, are mechanical handling devices used for transporting materials. They consist of a continuous loop of chains that move along a predetermined path, typically within a trough or along guide rails. The chains themselves can be designed in various configurations, such as roller chains, silent chains, or specialized heavy-duty chains, depending on the application and the type of material being conveyed.

Attachments can be incorporated onto the chains to carry or push the material. These attachments might include flights, paddles, buckets, or pans, each suited for different material characteristics like bulk solids, powders, or scrap. The driving force for the chain conveyor is usually provided by an electric motor, which turns a sprocket or drum, setting the chain in motion.

Ketikonveierid are employed across a wide range of industries. They are commonly found in mining, agriculture, manufacturing, and waste management sectors. Their robustness and ability to handle heavy loads and abrasive materials make them suitable for demanding environments. They can be configured horizontally, inclined, or even vertically to meet specific logistical needs. The design allows for a continuous flow of materials, contributing to efficient production and processing operations. Maintenance typically involves lubrication of the chain and bearings, as well as tension adjustment.
