The aggregate conveyor unloading plow is a critical component in sand and gravel processing plants, designed to efficiently divert or split material flow from main conveyors to secondary lines. This heavy-duty equipment ensures seamless material distribution while minimizing spillage and dust emissions.
– Robust construction with AR400 wear-resistant steel blades
– Hydraulic or electric actuation systems (10-30 HP power range)
– Adjustable diverting angles (30°-90°)
– Capacity: Up to 3,000 TPH depending on model
– Belt width compatibility: 24″ to 96″
| Model | Max Capacity (TPH) | Belt Width Range | Actuation Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| PL-500 | 800 | 24″-36″ | Electric |
| PL-1200 | 1,500 | 36″-60″ | Hydraulic |
| PL-2500 | 3,000 | 60″-96″ | Hydraulic |
In typical sand production lines, unloading plows are strategically positioned:
1. After primary crushers to split feed between secondary crushers
2. Before screening stations to balance material flow
3. At final product stockpiles for multi-product sorting
Q: How often do plow blades require replacement?
A: Typically 6-12 months depending on abrasiveness of materials processed.
Q: Can plows handle sticky materials?
A: Yes, models with vibratory attachments or polyurethane scrapers are available.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Monthly lubrication of pivot points and regular blade inspections.
A Texas-based operation installed two PL-1200 units:
– Achieved 95% material diversion accuracy
– Reduced spillage by 70% compared to manual gates
