Heavy-duty trough chain conveyor for high throughput applications
In operations involving bulk material handling, especially in intake stations and downstream distribution, the need for high throughput and reliable, continuous conveying systems is critical for maintaining efficiency and productivity.
Conveys up to 1200 tons per hour
The AHKG Heavy-Duty Line trough chain conveyor by Bühler is designed to excel in high-capacity material handling scenarios. Capable of conveying up to 1200 tons per hour, it is suitable for use in bulk storage, handling systems, and processing plants. With a horizontal conveyance capability over distances up to 150 meters, the conveyor is robust, with core elements made from drop-forged and hardened chain links providing high tensile strength and wear resistance. Additional features like optional manganese steel linings and chain guide bars further extend the equipment’s service life. Safety is enhanced with a material level sensor in the drive unit and a zero-motion monitor in the return unit, which detect chain ruptures early, improving system uptime.
Benefits
- Extended service life due to robust, wear-resistant materials
- High throughput capacity up to 1200 tons per hour
- Quick and easy part replacement thanks to modular design
- Safe operation with early chain rupture detection
- Effective horizontal conveying across distances up to 150 meters
