Description: Scraper-Chain conveyors are a type of carrying-chain conveyor. Conveyor troughs with scraper bars are arranged at intervals between the conveyor chains, which - when driven - Force the scraper bars to push the Material being conveyed over the bottom of the conveyor trough to an ejection point. The ejection point can be fixed, or designed as a pivoting chute. Scraper-chain conveyors support pitches of between $30{}^\circ $ and $60{}^\circ $. Scraper-chain conveyors are used in applications where fine materials (such as in the food sector) or hard, short chips (as in metalworking) need to be moved from one place to another. However, they are also used to transport very small parts. Depending on requirements, wet or dry goods can be conveyed. The conveyors are also suitable for transporting goods through tanks filled with liquid coolants, for example.
