Bulk Handling Chain Conveyor Solutions for Aggregate Production Lines

Chain conveyors are critical components in crushing and sand-making production lines, designed for heavy-duty material transport of raw ore, crushed stone, and finished aggregates. Our TB Series heavy-duty drag chain conveyors feature 400-1200mm working widths with capacities up to 1500t/h, utilizing X458 wear-resistant alloy chains (minimum tensile strength 850MPa) and NM400 abrasion-resistant liners.

Key Equipment Parameters

Model Chain Speed (m/s) Max Capacity (t/h) Power (kW)
TB600 0.1-0.3 300 7.5-15
TB800 0.1-0.35 600 11-22
TB1000 0.15-0.4 1000 18.5-37
TB1200 0.15-0.45 1500 30-55

Engineering Considerations

Proper chain tensioning (±20mm adjustment range) and regular lubrication (automatic systems available) are essential for maintaining 90%+ mechanical availability in abrasive environments. The conveyor’s sealed design reduces dust emission below 10mg/m³, meeting environmental standards.

FAQ Section

Q: How to handle oversized materials?
A: Install impact beds at loading points with 25mm thick rubber buffers for materials ≤500mm.

Q: Maintenance intervals?
A: Weekly chain inspection, monthly sprocket checks (replace at 30% wear), annual bearing replacement.
