CEMENT INDUSTRY:

These conveyors are used to transport
hot clinker from the kiln exit to the
clinker store. Designs are various types
of bucket conveyor with two strands of
chain. The chains tend to be long pitch
and have outboard rollers mounted on
one side of the chain. A typical layout
consists of two chains, each 1200kN
breaking load, 250mm pitch with staybar bearing pins at two
pitch spacings and outboard rollers on the staybar ends.
Overlapping buckets are bolted between the chains at every
two pitches. Chains can be supplied with or without a grease
gun lubrication facility in the bearing pin ends and in the
outboard rollers. This provides improved life and a
significantly quieter operation.
