Conveyor Equipment

Conveyor equipment, including screw conveyors, drag conveyors, and bucket elevators, plays a vital role in dust collection systems, specifically for transferring collected dust or ash from the dust collector to storage bins or other processing units. These conveyors are designed to efficiently move materials while minimizing dust leakage and maintaining system efficiency.

A screw conveyor, also know as auger conveyor, uses a rotating helical screw blade to transport materials along a trough. It is ideal for handling dry, free-flowing dust or ash in moderate to heavy-duty applications. Screw conveyors are commonly used for short to medium distances and are highly versatile for a variety of materials.A drag conveyor, also know as scrapper conveyor, on the other hand, uses a chain or paddle mechanism to pull materials along a track or trough. It is ideal for handling bulk materials such as coal, grain, or fine dust, and is designed to handle longer distances compared to screw conveyors. Drag conveyors are robust and can operate in harsh environments with minimal dust emissions.A bucket elevator uses a series of buckets attached to a chain or belt to vertically lift materials, making it ideal for elevating dust, grains, or powder from low to high points. It is commonly used when there is a need for significant vertical material transport in dust collection systems.
