How to Resolve Chain Deviation of Buried Scraper Conveyor

1. Check installation quality and take measures to correct mounting dimensions.

1) Check and adjust the flange connections between conveyor casings, make sure the connections are smooth and tightly sealed. 

2) Adjust the clearance between chain and conveyor trough. The appropriate clearance value will guarantee the conveyor to operate normally, reduce energy consumption, extend the service life of chain scraper & conveyor trough, and improve transport efficiency. 

3) Check and adjust the surface flatness of guide rail. The joints between guide rails should be smooth.

4) Check and adjust head and tail pulleys, which should be on one center line and correct meshing.

5) Correct and replace the deformed scrapers.

6) Repair and replace the worn-out guide rails.

7) Adjust the tension device, make sure the elastic of chain & scraper is moderate, and the tensile force of left and right sides are the same. 

2. Adjust material drop point.
Material impact is one of important factors that cause chain deviation. The solution is to install a retaining plate at the inlet. In this case, the material will fall in the middle position of scraper & chain to make sure the chain will be uniformly forced, so as to reduce chain deviation. 

3. Install baffle plates on both sides of the chains to prevent deviation phenomenon. 

Long life chain trough scraper conveyor

1. Scraper chain conveyor should be no-load running for a certain time when start the equipment every time, Then feed the material after the equipment working normally. We should keep feeding the material evenly, sudden feeding or over-load running is not allowed.
2. Should not stop the machine with load if there is no special condition.
Generally,we should stop the equipment when the material in the trough were discharged completely after we stop feeding the material.
3. If the whole production line is consist of sets of conveyor, we should
start the last set first when start the whole system, then start the others one by one . The order will be opposite when stops.

4. Operators should check the spare parts of the conveyor timely, especially the conveyor chain and driven device.
5. During operating, we should protect the conveyor from the iron, large hard objects and impurities to avoid damage the equipment.
6. Should keep all the bearing and driven device lubricated well. However, should not lubricate the conveyor chain, support guide rail, head wheel and tail wheel etc.
7. In general, the buried scraper conveyor should be minor repair every half year, medium repair every year and overhaul every three years. For overhaul the buried scraper conveyor, we should remove and clean all the spare part, replace all the wear part. For the motor and reducer, should be maintained and repaired according to their technical requirement.

What can we do to #maintain and #repair #scraper #conveyor #chain?

Scraper conveyor is widely used in food, cement, metallurgical and other industries. In the process of transporting materials, it is easy to mingle with impurities, which can cause wear of the chain. How to maintain and repair scraper conveyor chain properly? We will make a brief introduction as the following:
1.It is necessary to ensure that all pins and pin screws are fastened in place before using scraper chain conveyor. The tension of pin and the required torque, must be regularly checked and keep maintenance records;
2. In order to keep it running in good condition, please check and measure it periodically. Once scraper chain slack is found, or abnormal sound of guide rail rack hitting , please adjust the tension of chain in time;

 

3.When replace the chain, ensure the chain with the chain joints can move freely;
4. Check whether the head of scraper chain conveyor parts deformation or falls off or not.
