Buried scraper conveyor with the features of simple structure, small volume, good sealing performance, easy to install and maintain, multi-inlet and multi-outlet etc. In this article, PK Machinery will introduce the factors which influence the service life of the buried scraper conveyor for you:
1. The proper interval between the scraper chain and trough casing bottom.
Obviously, if the interval is too small, the material will be trapped between the scraper chain and trough casing bottom, this will causing the damage of the scraper chain and trough casing, even broke the scraper chain. However, if the interval is too big, the conveying efficiency of the scraper chain conveyor will be too low. In a word, proper interval between the scraper chain and trough casing bottom affect the service life and conveying efficiency directly.
 

 

2. The correct installation for the buried scraper chain conveyor.
We must ensure the specification of the scraper chain is unify and operate flexibly. The allowance error of the head and tail sprockets center line levelness should be less than 6mm. Should ascertain the operating direction of the scraper chain, ensure the correct direction. Ensure the proper tightness of the scraper chain, not too much tight or loose. Correct installation of the buried scraper conveyor can influence the service life of the buried scraper conveyor greatly.
 

 

3. Correct, reasonable and timely maintenance
We should check the scraper conveyor timely, repair and replace the worn or broken part and lubricate the rotated part timely, adjust the tightness of the scraper chain when the scraper chain is loose. Correct, reasonable and timely maintenance can prolong the service life of the scraper chain conveyor greatly.
