Flight Conveyor

A Flight Conveyor(also called Scraper Conveyor)is a robust bulk material handling machine that uses chain-driven flights/paddles to push or drag granular,powder,or lump materials horizontally or inclined through a closed trough.It is ideal for dusty,wet,sticky,or high-temperature materials and widely used in mining,cement,power,grain,and chemical industries.

Standard Detailed Version

Flight Conveyor(Chain&Flight Conveyor)

A flight conveyor is a heavy-duty conveying system designed for continuous transport of bulk solids.It consists of endless chains,rigid flights/scrapers,a steel trough,drive sprockets,and a tensioning system.

Working Principle

The motor-driven sprockets circulate the chain assembly.Flights(paddles)fixed perpendicularly to the chain push materials along the trough.The closed trough prevents dust emission and material spillage.

Key Features

Durable construction:Wear-resistant steel flights and heavy-duty chains

Versatility:Handles coal,ash,sand,cement,grain,ores,and hot materials

Sealed design:Dust-proof,environment-friendly,and prevents contamination

Flexible layout:Horizontal,inclined(up to 30–45°),or curved paths

Customizable:Various trough sizes,flight spacing,and materials(carbon steel,stainless steel)

Applications

Mining(coal,ore)

Power plants(ash handling)

Cement&building materials

Grain&feed mills

Chemical&metallurgical plants

Advantages

High reliability in harsh conditions

Low maintenance

Efficient for abrasive and high-temperature materials

Multiple discharge points along the trough
