Function Introduction of Apron Chip Conveyor Chain
With the continuous development of industrial technology, apron chip conveyor chain play a crucial role in various manufacturing and processing industries. Among the core components of chip conveyors, the apron chip conveyor chain is particularly indispensable.
- Basic Structure and Working Principle of Apron Chip Conveyor Chain
The Apron chip conveyor chain is one of the main transmission components of the chip conveyor, typically composed of chains and chain plates. The chains are made of high-strength alloy steel. The working principle of the apron chip conveyor chain is based on the transmission action of the chain, which removes chips or waste materials from the workpiece to a designated location through the movement of the chain.
2. Function Introduction
The chip conveyor chain plate has several important functions in industrial production:
2.1. Chip and Waste Material Removal
One of the main functions of the Apron chip conveyor chain is to remove chips and waste materials generated during the machining process. In industries such as metalworking and woodworking, a large amount of chips and waste materials are produced during the machining process. Failure to remove them promptly can affect machining quality and efficiency. The apron chip conveyor removes these chips and waste materials from the machining area by the movement of the chain, keeping the machining area clean.
2.2. Equipment and Workpiece Protection
Accumulation of chips and waste materials can not only affect machining quality but also damage equipment and workpieces. The role of the apron chip conveyor is to timely remove these chips and waste materials, thus protecting the equipment and workpieces from damage. This role is particularly significant for precision machining equipment and workpieces.
2.3. Improvement of Production Efficiency
The operation of the apron chip conveyor maintains the cleanliness of the machining area, reducing the time and labor costs of cleaning work. Moreover, removing chips and waste materials helps to reduce downtime during the machining process, thereby improving production efficiency. This is particularly important for industries that require continuous production.
2.4. Enhancement of Safety
Accumulation of chips and waste materials can not only affect production efficiency but also pose safety hazards. For example, chips may clog the ventilation holes of equipment, leading to overheating or even fire. The role of the chip conveyor chain plate is to timely remove these chips and waste materials, thereby reducing the occurrence of safety accidents.
3. Application Fields
Apron chip conveyor are widely used in various manufacturing and processing industries, including but not limited to:
- Metalworking industry: such as sheet metal processing, lathe machining, etc.
- Woodworking industry: such as wood cutting, woodworking carving, etc.
- Plastic processing industry: such as injection molding, extrusion molding, etc.
- Mining industry: such as coal mines, ore processing, etc.
- Construction industry: such as concrete processing, brick and tile production, etc.
4. Conclusion
The apron chip conveyor, as an important component of the chip conveyor, plays a crucial role in industrial production. It not only removes chips and waste materials, protects equipment and workpieces, improves production efficiency but also enhances production safety. Therefore, it has broad application prospects in various manufacturing and processing industries. With the continuous development of industrial technology, it is believed that the chip conveyor chain plate will play an even more important role in the future.
There are various types of chip conveyor chain plate, with models available (pitch: 31.75, 38.1, 50.8, 63.5, 101.6). The width can be customized according to user requirements. The pitch is 31.75mm, and the ultimate tensile load of a single row is 22.2KN, mainly used for small mainframe and short distance conveying. The pitch is 38.1mm, and the ultimate tensile load of a single row is 31.8 Kn, mainly used for conveying small and medium-sized short distances. The single row ultimate tensile load is 56.7KN with a pitch of 50.8mm, and the single row ultimate tensile load is 226.8KN with a pitch of 101.6mm. These two types of structures are more sturdy and reliable, suitable for long-distance transportation of large and medium-sized hosts and production lines.
