Difference between heavy scraper conveyor and light chain conveyor

Two different specifications of chain conveyor

In the chain conveyor, there are two kinds of products of different specifications, heavy chain conveyor and light chain conveyor. There are many similarities between the two kinds of chain conveyor, but there are some differences. However, no matter which type is used, the stainless steel chain plate shall be properly tensioned before use.

The heavy chain conveyor is usually used as the ground logistics transportation equipment, which can form a three-dimensional automatic production line with hanging conveyor, roller conveyor, elevator, etc.; while the light chain conveyor is widely used in the food, beverage, electronic, electrical and light industry industries. With the flexible transportation form, it can make full and effective use of space, which can be designed into a variety of models It can be used alone, and it is very convenient to match with other conveying equipment. Whether it is a heavy chain conveyor or a light chain conveyor, they can make full use of their advantages to improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure the quality of products. It is one of the indispensable equipment for automatic production of modern large enterprises.

The main part of the stainless steel chain plate, pay attention to the tension of the chain plate when using. If the temperature difference is too large or the conveyor length is too long, the chain plate may be tight or loose. When the stainless steel chain plate encounters this situation, try to use the method of adding idler in the middle. Use the self generated weight of the idler to tension the chain plate, or use the spring tension mechanism at the end of the conveyor to make the chain plate always in the state of tension. At the same time, the chain board on the chain board conveyor should be lubricated, otherwise there will be a little noise, which makes it widely used in many fields such as automatic assembly line, glass machinery, food machinery, medical machinery, electronic machinery, etc.
