Chain conveyor for grain handling
Optimize your production line with a customizable chain conveyor that ensures efficient, contamination-free transportation of materials, enhancing hygiene and operational reliability in food processing and grain handling.

Conveys and Sorts Grain and Food Products
The Chain Conveyor LBCB from Bühler Group is engineered to streamline the movement of bulk grains and food products, offering high customization to meet specific processing needs. Utilizing a bottom-up design approach, each conveyor can be tailored to fit unique operational requirements in food processing and agricultural industries. The LBCB enhances sanitation through plastic scrapers on each link and rubber cleaning vanes, minimizing product retention and meeting stringent hygiene standards. It efficiently handles a variety of products, from barley malt and ground coffee to white rice and spaghetti. The system is modular, allowing easy integration into existing lines, with capacities adaptable to throughput needs. Its zero-motion monitor and durable construction enhance reliability while noise-reducing features like the return rail ensure a quieter operation environment. Available in robust materials for longevity, it supports continuous operations with minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for production facilities seeking efficiency and high operational uptime.
