Technical Criteria for System Selection

Selecting the optimal conveyor system requires a detailed analysis of bulk material properties such as density, abrasiveness, and chemistry, as these factors significantly influence the choice of materials and the sizing of the chain and housing components.

Bulk density and grain size
Abrasiveness and moisture content
Chemical corrosivity or toxicity
Flow characteristics and temperature

Custom Design for Operational Requirements

Tailored designs allow for complex routing with horizontal and vertical sections, while special forged chains and wear-resistant linings guarantee high reliability under extreme conditions.

Use of double forged chains for heavy loads
Implementation of special wear-resistant linings
Integration of ATEX-certified safety components
Precise calculation of flight height and pitch

Preventive Maintenance to Extend Service Life

A structured maintenance program that monitors chain tension, lubrication, and motor performance is essential for economic operation to avoid unplanned downtime and ensure the efficiency of the entire plant for years to come.

Regular inspection of chain tension and alignment
Periodic lubrication of drive components and bearings
Monitoring of motor power consumption
Timely replacement of worn flights and links
