1. Product Introduction

The Scraper Conveyor is a mechanical conveying system designed for the continuous transportation of bulk materials. The equipment uses a moving chain equipped with scraper plates to push materials along a closed or semi-closed trough.

The Scraper Conveyor is widely used in cement plants, mining, metallurgy, coal processing, chemical industries, power plants, and grain processing facilities. The equipment is suitable for conveying powdery, granular, and small lump materials over horizontal, inclined, or certain complex conveying routes.

WEIFANG ZHITIAN provides industrial Scraper Conveyor solutions with reliable structures, stable operation, and customizable conveying capacities to meet different production requirements.

The conveyor can be designed according to material characteristics, conveying distance, installation angle, and required capacity. Its enclosed structure helps reduce material spillage and dust emissions, making it suitable for industrial environments with high requirements for clean material handling.

2. Working Principle of Scraper Conveyor

The Scraper Conveyor operates through a continuous chain-driven scraping mechanism. The motor drives the reducer and transmission sprocket, causing the conveyor chain and scraper plates to move continuously inside the conveying trough.

The working process mainly includes the following steps:

1. Material Feeding

Bulk materials enter the conveyor through the feeding inlet and accumulate at the bottom of the conveying trough.

2. Chain Transmission

The electric motor drives the reducer and sprocket, which move the scraper chain along the conveyor track.

3. Material Scraping and Conveying

The scraper plates attached to the chain push materials forward along the bottom of the trough. The materials move continuously toward the discharge end.

4. Material Discharging

When the materials reach the discharge outlet, they are discharged into the next production process through gravity or the designated discharge structure.

5. Continuous Operation

The chain and scraper plates return through the designed return path, forming a continuous conveying cycle.

3. Main Features of Scraper Conveyor

• Enclosed Structure: Helps minimize dust emissions and material leakage during transportation.

• Stable Conveying: Continuous chain transmission ensures reliable material movement.

• Strong Adaptability: Suitable for powdery, granular, and small lump materials.

• Compact Design: Requires relatively little installation space and can be integrated into existing production lines.

• Wear-Resistant Components: Scraper plates, chains, and troughs can be selected according to material abrasiveness.

• Customizable Configuration: Conveying capacity, length, width, motor power, and installation angle can be customized.

• Easy Maintenance: The modular structure facilitates inspection and replacement of wearing parts.

4. Applications of Scraper Conveyor

The Scraper Conveyor is widely applied in various industries for continuous bulk material transportation.

5. Main Components of Scraper Conveyor

A complete Scraper Conveyor generally consists of the following components:

1. Driving Device: Electric motor, reducer, and transmission sprocket.

2. Conveyor Chain: Transfers driving force throughout the conveying system.

3. Scraper Plates: Push bulk materials along the trough.
