BHL Ring Chain Scraper Conveyor, MS Drag Chain Scraper Conveyor

The BHL Ring Chain Scraper Conveyor is a heavy-duty mechanical conveying machine designed for continuous transportation of coal, cement, clinker, ash, minerals, powder, granules, and other bulk materials. The equipment uses a durable ring chain and scraper assembly to move materials through a controlled conveying channel.

Also known as an MS Drag Chain Scraper Conveyor, ring chain conveyor, or industrial drag scraper conveyor, this type of equipment is widely used in cement plants, coal handling systems, power plants, mining operations, metallurgy, chemical processing, and other industries requiring reliable bulk material transportation.

The BHL design combines a robust chain drive with scraper flights and a durable conveyor housing. The MS construction provides a practical structural solution for industrial conveying applications, while optional wear-resistant components can be used where abrasive materials or demanding operating conditions require additional protection.

As a professional Ring Chain Scraper Conveyor manufacturer and supplier, we provide standard and customized conveyor systems according to material characteristics, capacity, conveying distance, installation layout, and customer requirements.

What Is a Ring Chain Scraper Conveyor?

A Ring Chain Scraper Conveyor is a continuous chain conveying system that uses a ring-type chain connected to scraper flights. As the chain circulates through the conveyor trough, the scraper flights push or carry bulk material toward the discharge end.

Unlike belt conveyors, the conveying force comes from the mechanical chain and sprocket system. This construction provides a strong conveying mechanism for applications involving dense, granular, dusty, or abrasive materials.

The conveyor housing can be designed as an enclosed or partially enclosed structure. This helps provide a controlled conveying path while reducing dust dispersion and material spillage.

The equipment is particularly suitable for material handling systems where robust mechanical construction and continuous operation are required.

Main Components

A typical BHL Ring Chain Scraper Conveyor consists of:

Ring Chain
Scraper Flights
Conveyor Trough
Drive Sprocket
Tail Sprocket
Drive Motor
Gear Reducer
Chain Tensioning Device
Drive Shaft
Tail Shaft
Bearings
Material Inlet
Discharge Outlet
Inspection Covers
Wear-Resistant Liner

The ring chain provides the main traction force. Scraper flights are attached to the chain at appropriate intervals and move through the conveyor housing to transport the material.

The drive motor and reducer supply the required torque, while the sprocket system guides the chain along the conveying route.

For abrasive materials such as clinker, coal, slag, and minerals, wear-resistant liners can be added to the conveyor trough to reduce structural wear.

How Does the BHL Ring Chain Scraper Conveyor Work?

The working principle is based on continuous mechanical dragging.

Material enters through the feeding inlet and accumulates within the conveying section. The electric motor drives the gearbox, which transfers power to the main drive sprocket.

The sprocket engages with the ring chain and causes it to circulate continuously. Scraper flights connected to the chain move through the material layer and push the material forward along the conveyor trough.

When the material reaches the discharge area, it is released through the outlet and transferred to the next stage of the production or material handling system.

This operating principle allows the conveyor to provide steady bulk material transportation and makes it suitable for integration with feeders, hoppers, crushers, mills, silos, elevators, and packing systems.

MS Drag Chain Scraper Conveyor Construction

The MS Drag Chain Scraper Conveyor can use mild steel or other suitable structural materials for the conveyor body, support structure, and related components.

MS construction offers a practical solution for many standard industrial environments. Depending on the application, the conveyor can also be configured with specialized steel grades, wear-resistant liners, reinforced chains, and other upgraded components.

The appropriate material should be selected according to the conveyed product, temperature, abrasion level, moisture, corrosion conditions, and expected operating hours.

For standard coal and cement material handling, a robust MS conveyor structure combined with appropriately selected chain and wear components can provide dependable service.

How to Select the Right Scraper Conveyor

Several parameters should be considered when selecting a BHL Ring Chain Scraper Conveyor.

The first factor is the material being conveyed. Important properties include bulk density, particle size, moisture, temperature, abrasiveness, and flowability.

The second factor is required conveying capacity. The conveyor should be sized according to the required throughput and production conditions.

The conveying distance determines the appropriate chain, drive system, motor power, and structural configuration.

Installation conditions are also important. The available space, conveyor elevation, inlet position, outlet location, and connection with other equipment should be considered during system design.

For coal, clinker, slag, and mineral applications, abrasion and material temperature should receive particular attention.

Maintenance and Operation

Routine inspection helps maintain stable performance and extend equipment service life.

The ring chain, scraper flights, sprockets, bearings, gearbox, motor, tensioning system, and conveyor trough should be inspected regularly.

Proper chain tension is essential. Excessive tension can increase stress on the chain, sprockets, bearings, and drive system. Insufficient tension can result in unstable chain movement.

Wear-resistant liners and scraper components should be checked regularly when handling abrasive materials.

Lubrication should follow the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Any abnormal vibration, noise, overheating, or chain movement should be investigated promptly.

The conveyor must be stopped and isolated from its power source before maintenance, inspection, cleaning, or component replacement.
