Pipe chain conveyor conveyor chain use encountered a situation of wear and tear is what causes, as a pipe chain conveyor equipment manufacturer, let me help you to understand together.
In the closed pipe, the material is driven along the pipe with the chain piece as the driving member. When conveyed horizontally, the material particles are subject to the thrust of the chain piece in the direction of movement.
When the internal friction between the material layer is greater than the external friction between the material and the wall of the pipe, the material moves forward with the chain piece to form a stable material flow; when conveying vertically, the material particles in the pipe are pushed upward by the chain piece, because the lower part of the feeding to prevent the upper part of the material from sliding downward,
which produces transverse lateral pressure, and so enhances the internal friction of the material, when the internal friction between the material is greater than the external friction between the material and the inner wall of the pipe and the material’s self-weight, the material is conveyed upward with the chain piece to form a continuous flow.
When the internal friction between the materials is greater than the external friction between the materials and the inner wall of the tube and the self-weight of the materials, the materials will be conveyed upward with the chain piece, forming a continuous flow.
The pipe chain conveyor is the same as the transmission chain, the conveyor chain is also composed of a series of bearings, which are fixed by the chain plate with a restraining effect, and the positional relationship between each other is very accurate. Each bearing of the pipe chain conveyor consists of a pin and a sleeve on which the rollers of the chain rotate.
The pin and sleeve are case-hardened, thus allowing them to be articulated together under high pressure and to withstand the load pressure transmitted via the rollers and the impact of engagement.
Conveyor chains for conveyors of all strengths are available in a range of different chain pitches: smaller chain pitches depend on the requirements of the sprocket teeth for adequate strength, while larger chain pitches are usually determined by the rigidity of the chain plates and the general-purpose chain, and the rated larger chain pitch can be exceeded by reinforcing the sleeves between the chain plates if required, but clearance in the teeth for clearing the sleeves needs to be retained.
