Heavy-duty trough chain conveyor for high throughput applications

Optimized for high-capacity operations, this robust conveyance solution ensures efficient material flow in complex production environments, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput.

Conveys and Distributes Bulk Materials Efficiently

The Trough Chain Conveyor AHKG from Bühler Group is an engineered solution designed for high-capacity material handling across a wide range of industries. Built for continuous operation, it effectively utilizes drop-forged and hardened chain links to convey bulk materials such as grains, animal feed, and biomass. Capable of transporting up to 1200 tons per hour over distances of up to 150 meters, this equipment is perfect for handling and distributing materials in both processing plants and bulk storage facilities.

Featuring a modular design with bolted segments, the AHKG allows for quick and hassle-free replacement of internal parts, ensuring minimal downtime. Safety devices, including a material level sensor and a zero-motion monitor, provide reliable operation by detecting potential chain ruptures early. Its construction includes optional lateral casing linings and chain guide bars made from manganese steel, enhancing the conveyor’s durability and lifespan.

Seamlessly integrating into your production line, the AHKG supports effective upstream and downstream processes while also providing options for customization to suit specific operational requirements. It’s a robust choice for facilities prioritizing efficiency and reliability in their material handling operations.
