The discs of tube chain conveyors wear out quickly
Thread Content
Who here in this forum has experience with chain conveyor systems? Our chain conveyors have severe disc wear, resulting in a short replacement cycle. The material being transported is powdered or granular sand; the transport pipe is made of carbon steel, while the discs are made of PA material. Are there any better disk materials you can recommend? Could you recommend manufacturers with experience in manufacturing tube chain conveyors?
What is the size of your sand particles? Is considering the use of compressed air for transportation?

Discs are generally made of plastic alloys or stainless steel discs. If you are truly interested, feel free to add me as a friend. We are a manufacturer of pipe chains, which is the product we promote in China.
I have been considering the material handling process of centrifuging (pressure filtration), followed by drying and then mixed packaging. There are successful application examples of chain conveyor systems in the chemical, pesticide, and pharmaceutical industries; please share them.
