Chain or scraper conveyor
The scraper conveyor is used to move bulk and, in some cases, artificial cargoes. It is most widely used for transporting sawdust, pellets,
grains, snow,
starch, garbage,
fertilized and other bulk materials. Sometimes it is used to transport bags with products. It can be used both horizontally and in an inclined position, which allows you to raise and lower products at large angles (up to 60 degrees).
Scraper conveyors are reliable and easy to operate, and can work outdoors. Upper and lower protective screens are available upon request to protect the transported cargo from atmospheric precipitation or to reduce dust in the room. They are made on legs with height adjustment +/- 25% of the nominal value, on adjustable screw supports, on wheels, including swivel ones with brakes.

If necessary, they are equipped with reversible or non-reversible magnetic starters, or a control system with frequency regulation of speed, product presence sensors, protective disconnecting devices.
