High-capacity horizontal conveyor for bulk storage
Optimize your high-speed bulk material handling with a durable and efficient conveying solution that ensures seamless transport and distribution for continuous operations, from initial intake to final processing stages.
Conveys and Distributes Bulk Materials Efficiently
The Trough Chain Conveyor AHKG by Bühler Group is engineered for robust performance in bulk material handling, ensuring seamless integration into various industrial processing environments. Employing a horizontal conveying mechanism, it efficiently manages high throughputs of up to 1200 tons per hour over distances reaching 150 meters. This makes it indispensable for industries like food processing, grain handling, and biorefinery operations. Its modular design allows for quick part replacements, reducing downtime in continuous operations. Enhanced with wear-resistant materials such as manganese steel, it promises extended durability even under heavy-duty conditions. Safety is a priority, with features like material level sensors and zero-motion monitors providing early detection of potential disruptions. Highly adaptable, the AHKG fits into both new setups and existing lines, supported by Bühler’s engineering expertise for tailored solutions.
