The difference between plate conveyor and scraper conveyor

The difference between plate conveyor and scraper conveyor

Plate conveyors and scraper conveyors differ in structure, application scenarios, and working principles.

Good sales, structural differences

Plate conveyor is composed of driving mechanism, tensioning device, traction chain, Flat noodles, driving and steering sprocket, frame, etc. The scraper conveyor is mainly composed of slotting, traction chain, scraper, head drive sprocket, and tail tension sprocket. The buried scraper conveyor is a transportation equipment that uses a scraper chain that moves through a closed shell to transport bulk materials according to predetermined targets.

Differences in application scenarios

Plate conveyors are suitable for horizontal or inclined transportation of various granular materials and finished products, especially for conveying heavy, block shaped, sharp edged, highly abrasive items and hot items. Scraper conveyor is commonly used in the coal mining process, which can work in situations where the bottom plate of the coal mining face is uneven or curved, and can withstand vertical or horizontal bending.

Thirdly, differences in working principles

The working principle of a plate conveyor is to move steel plates through a chain, thereby conveying materials. The working principle of a scraper conveyor is to circulate the scraper chain and push the material along the chute.

Understanding the differences between these two types of conveyors can help choose equipment that is suitable for specific applications. In practical selection, material performance, transportation distance, equipment maintenance, and cost also need to be considered.
