Chain conveyors for long-distance bulk material transport

Efficiently transport challenging bulk materials across long distances with these robust chain conveyors, designed to handle a variety of free-flowing products seamlessly within high-capacity operations.

Transports and Discharges Bulk Solid Materials

The Chain Conveyors from Ottevanger Milling Engineers offer a robust solution for the transportation and discharge of bulk materials, designed specifically for challenging conditions in feed mills, grain storage, and food processing facilities. These versatile conveyors are built to handle materials such as grains, pellets, and soybean meal efficiently over long distances. Constructed with an enclosed S235 steel trough and available with optional AISI304 execution, they ensure durability and corrosion resistance. Their high capacity, reaching up to 400 m³/h, makes them suitable for continuous operations in high-demand environments.

Chain conveyors integrate seamlessly into production lines, working effectively with upstream equipment like batch weighers and downstream systems such as hammer mills. They feature geared drive units and flexible couplings for reliable performance, as well as advanced speed sensing and flow regulation options to optimize throughput. Additionally, the systems are equipped with protective chain hoods and wear plates to minimize maintenance efforts while ensuring operational safety.

Ottevanger’s chain conveyors also support remote monitoring and automation via PLC, enhancing integration within your facility’s control systems. For those dealing with ATEX-restricted zones, the chain conveyors are available with ATEX22 zoned drive units, meeting stringent compliance requirements. Whether conveying pet food, aquafeed, or granola, these conveyors deliver efficiency in various industry processes.
