The difference between scale conveyor and scraper conveyor

The difference between scale conveyor and scraper conveyor mainly lies in their structure, application scenarios, and applicable materials:

1、 Structural differences

1. The scale conveyor adopts a closed loop chain as the traction component, which carries materials through scale plates (or chain plates). The structure includes traction chains, sprockets, rollers, and other components. ‌

2. The scraper conveyor uses a chain as the transmission device to scrape materials from the inlet to the outlet through a scraper. The structure includes components such as a chain, scraper, and idler. ‌

2、 Function and application scenarios

1. The scale conveyor is suitable for conveying bulk solids, abrasive materials, or large quantities of heavy materials, and is commonly used in industries such as mining and power. ‌

2. The scraper conveyor is used for one-to-one transportation of granular, block shaped, and non abrasive materials with good fluidity, such as grain, coal, etc. ‌

3、 Transport characteristics

1. The scale conveyor has a large conveying capacity and low operating costs, but requires wear-resistant design. ‌

2. The structure of the scraper conveyor is wear-resistant (based on actual reports), has good adaptability to the environment, and is suitable for conveying moderately corrosive materials.
