FAQ about trough chain conveyors
When do I use trough chain conveyors, when is a belt recommended?
Due to their robust construction, mechanical trough chain conveyors are ideal for continuous use. Maintenance and repair costs are relatively low in these systems. Another advantage is the dry and dust-free conveyance through the closed system.
Another possibility for conveying bulk goods is the use of belt conveyors, the somewhat cheaper alternative to trough chain conveyors. Belt conveyor systems can be used up to an incline of approx. 27 degrees. As a rule, belt conveyors are open systems.

I have inquired about several chains and see that their conveyor chains are often priced higher. Why?
Since it is well known that every chain is as strong as its weakest link, we only use high-quality materials such as 20MnCr5 for hardened links and X46Cr13 for hardened pins, which are therefore rust and acid resistant. Of course, this is reflected in the price.
