Trough chain conveyor

... - also referred as a redler - is primarily used to convey bulk materials. It is a very robust, low-maintenance conveying system designed for permanent operation. Alongside classic horizontal conveying, rising line layouts and conveyors with bends can be realised. Further processing stages can also be simultaneously integrated such as:

Collection/ distribution

Screening

Bunker discharge

Air cooling/ water cooling

Conveyor lengths up to 100 m

Conveyor capacity up to 1.500 m³/h

The range of conveyor products

... extends from powder form to bulky products with an edge length of up to 150 mm. The trough chain conveyor has been used as a reliable conveyor element in the following industries for many decades:

Soda, potash and fertiliser industry

Cement and building materials industry

Raw materials and biomass conveying

Waste treatment and recycling facilities

Power stations

Grain and seed handling

Chemical industry

Quality from our own company

The drawing element - the chain - is specified according to the requirements of the conveyed product and the results of the project-related design calculation. Full internal production guarantees a high level of flexibility and adaptation to the respective conveying task. The best tensile strength and longest service life are achieved with a conveyor chain from our own production, which has been constantly developed further and tried and tested over many years.
Alongside manufacturing new products, we offer service and repair work for existing systems, including exchange of the chain system. Professional assembly and standard monitoring systems, such as an overflow indication, bulk height indicator, rotation monitor and chain break monitoring, ensure safe, permanent operation.

Wear protection

... assured a long-lasting use of Wutra trough chain conveyors by high abrasive solids. The conveying of raw materials with different grain sizes causes a strong rubbing wear. This will be avoided with suitable methodes like build-up weldings or coating of the troughs with several construction materials.
For cleaning-, wear- and material flow problems we use:

Cast basalt

Ceramic inlays

Different wear materials

Build-up welding

Plastic plates

Protection coatings with composite materials
