Chain Conveyors

Convey Horizontally or at an Incline

Chain conveyor systems offer an optimum way to convey grain, and other bulk materials horizontally or at an incline. Modular in design, these types of chain conveyor systems can be easily supplied for a particular length and with proper planning, can be added to in the future.

Outdoor Installations

Available in mild or stainless steel, flat or round bottom designs, and options for bypass inlets, multiple discharge points, and wear-resistant linings. These types of chain conveyor systems are well suited for outdoor installations and can handle many applications that are not as efficient as other conveyor types.

Meeting Demands and Requirements

The Cimbria chain conveyors are ideal for horizontal and inclined conveying of materials that require acompletely closed, dustproof transportsuch as grain, pellets, and powders. Various models and sizes are available depending on the materials being conveyed and the required capacity.

Cimbria chain conveyors are manufactured in a modular system andcan be supplied in the exact required length. They are available with various accessories making them well-suited for specialized operations. Several of the available additional features also provideincreased safety.

Modular Structure

The modular structure means that the user receives precisely the solution that matches his application, as well as a level of flexibility that enables modifications and repairs to be carried out with a minimum of disruption of the conveying process. This reduces not just the maintenance costs but also the knock-on effect in lost production time.

FOrm and Function

Optimal design and construction make the chain conveyors a reliable and safe solution. With the variety of models combined with an extensive range of accessories, they meet the specific customer requirements while at the same time fulfilling the standards of the various directives which secure the health and safety of the people operating the conveyor.

Chain Conveyor Construction

Cimbria offers a diverse range of chain conveyor models, each constructed to suit various materials and tasks. Every model comes with an array of standard features including:

• galvanized steel sheets
• easily assembled sections of 500 / 1000 / 2000 / 3000 mm
• assembled tension and drive station
• intermediate sections
• 10 mm wear plate on the bottom plate
• drive terminal with hollow shaft gear
• motors and gears from a well-known and acknowledged supplier in energy classes IE2 and IE3.

The main feature is the chain which is manufactured using special steel with welded flights, and fitted with hardened steel bushes. A number of flights are complete with plastic flaps, which clean the bottom of the conveyor box. The chain can be supplied with return buckets for return transport of material in the conveyor.
