Working Principle:
Inside the closed pipeline, the chain plate is used as the transmission component to drive the material to move along the pipeline. This working principle of the pipe chain conveyor ensures the stability and efficiency of material conveying.During horizontal conveying, the material particles are subjected to the thrust of the chain plate in the movement direction. This thrust ensures that the materials move forward smoothly in the horizontal direction of the pipe chain conveyor.When the internal friction between the material layers is greater than the external friction between the material and the pipe wall, the material moves forward with the chain plate, forming a stable material flow. This is the key to the horizontal conveying of the pipe chain conveyor, ensuring no material accumulation.During vertical conveying, the material particles in the pipe are subjected to the upward thrust of the chain plate. Since the lower feeding prevents the upper material from sliding down, a horizontal lateral pressure is generated, thus enhancing the internal friction of the material. This design of the pipe chain conveyor solves the problem of material sliding during vertical conveying.When the internal friction between the materials is greater than the external friction between the material and the inner wall of the pipe and the self-weight of the material, the material is conveyed upward with the chain plate, forming a continuous material flow. This ensures the continuous and stable vertical conveying of the pipe chain conveyor.Powder materials move linearly along the closed pipeline in three-dimensional space, with right-angle turns or Z-type conveying, and the direction can be changed if necessary. This multi-directional conveying capability of the pipe chain conveyor meets the complex material conveying needs of different production lines.
