KSL (TSC) Scraper Chain Conveyor

The chain conveyor (also known as a scraper conveyor or drag conveyor, model TSC/KSL) is the industry standard for horizontal or inclined (up to 30°) transport of bulk materials.

Thanks to its enclosed design and high reliability, it is an ideal solution as a conveyor for grain and its processed products, such as wheat, corn, sunflower seeds, soybean meal, and soybeans. This equipment ensures the efficient movement of product over distances of up to 60 meters, protecting it from external elements and minimizing dust generation.

Operating Principle and Advantages of Scraper Conveyors

The operating principle of a scraper chain conveyor involves moving the product along a stationary casing (trough) using a moving chain equipped with scrapers. This provides several key advantages:

• High productivity with relatively low energy consumption.
• Minimal product damage due to a continuous, gentle flow.
• A sealed design that protects both the cargo and the surrounding environment.
• Durability and reliability, even under intensive workloads.

Custom Configuration: How to Order the Perfect Chain Conveyor

The main advantage of working directly with a manufacturer is the ability to order equipment that is 100% tailored to your needs. Each scraper chain conveyor is designed individually.

Frame, Chain, and Scrapers

When placing an order, you can choose:

• Frame material: Structural, galvanized, or stainless steel.
• Chain type: The optimal series (M, TRD, 81XH, 81XHH) is selected based on the conveyor's length and required capacity.
• Material and thickness of scrapers (from 4 to 30 mm):
• Polyurethane, polyethylene, or caprolon: for gentle transport and noise reduction.
• Metal scrapers: for heavy-duty operating conditions.

Wear Resistance and Component Reliability

To extend the equipment's service life, the working area can be lined with wear-resistant materials such as polyurethane, polyethylene, or HARDOX steel.

The structural integrity is ensured by high-quality components:

• Shafts and sprockets: Made from St40X or St45 steel and securely fixed in bearing assemblies from trusted manufacturers.
• Chain support: The return side of the chain is supported by rollers (plastic or metal) or special guides.

How to Purchase a Chain Conveyor: The Ordering Process

If you want to buy a chain conveyor, our collaboration process is simple and transparent:

1. Discussing the Details. We coordinate all parameters, from the type of gear motor to the number of loading/unloading points.
2. Developing the Drawing. Our engineers prepare a detailed drawing of the future conveyor.
3. Customer Approval. You review and approve the design, which guarantees the final equipment will fully meet your expectations.
4. Production. After approval, the conveyor is sent to production.

This approach allows us to consider all nuances and deliver chain conveyors that integrate perfectly into your production line.

Automation and Control

For safe and autonomous operation, our scraper conveyors are equipped with modern control systems:

• Product choke/backup sensor.
• Chain break sensor.
• Shaft rotation sensor.

These components help prevent emergencies in a timely manner and allow the conveyor to be integrated into the facility's overall automation system. To purchase a chain conveyor with the right set of options, please contact our managers for a consultation.
