How to Resolve Chain Deviation of Buried Scraper Conveyor

1. Check installation quality and take measures to correct mounting dimensions.

1) Check and adjust the flange connections between conveyor casings, make sure the connections are smooth and tightly sealed.

2) Adjust the clearance between chain and conveyor trough. The appropriate clearance value will guarantee the conveyor to operate normally, reduce energy consumption, extend the service life of chain scraper & conveyor trough, and improve transport efficiency.

3) Check and adjust the surface flatness of guide rail. The joints between guide rails should be smooth.

4) Check and adjust head and tail pulleys, which should be on one center line and correct meshing.

5) Correct and replace the deformed scrapers.

6) Repair and replace the worn-out guide rails.

7) Adjust the tension device, make sure the elastic of chain & scraper is moderate, and the tensile force of left and right sides are the same.

2. Adjust material drop point.
Material impact is one of important factors that cause chain deviation. The solution is to install a retaining plate at the inlet. In this case, the material will fall in the middle position of scraper & chain to make sure the chain will be uniformly forced, so as to reduce chain deviation.

3. Install baffle plates on both sides of the chains to prevent deviation phenomenon.

Scraper Chain Selection Principles (1)

The reasonable selection of scraper and chain depends on its structure form, chain pitch, scraper pitch and material of construction. When choosing, people should pay special attention to meet the requirements of production capacity, and make the scraper & chain have the adaptability to material.

1. Selection of Scraper Structure Form
The scraper structure form determines the transportation effect of buried scraper conveyor. It could get a good effect through the reasonable selection of scraper. Otherwise, the improper selection of scraper may cause poor transportation effect, even failure.

On the condition of meeting the adaptability to material, the selection principle is to choose the scraper simple in structure. In the specific use, the scraper can be chosen according to the material features (viscosity, suspension property and fluidity), conveyor trough width and conveyor arrangement form. 

1) The material has good transportation property: the scraper in simple shape is preferred, such as T-type, V-type, U-type, etc.
The material has small internal friction coefficient, strong suspension property and high fluidity: complex shape scraper should be used, such as H-type.

2) The material has heavy viscosity, or the viscosity becomes big after the material moisture absorption: in order to reduce the material adhesion on the scraper, and unload and clean material easily, it is better to choose simple structure scraper, such as T-type, V-type, U-type, etc.

3) The material is easy to float chain: the scraper can be inclined position welded.

4) The trough width of buried scraper conveyor is smaller: it is appropriate to use simple shape scraper. When the material with large bulk density is transported in bigger conveyor trough, in order to increase the scraper rigidity, it is recommended to use O-type scraper with diagonal strut. 

5) The buried scraper conveyor is horizontal installation: T-type, U-type or V-type scraper is generally used.
Conveyor vertical installation: V-type and U-type scrapers in outward form arrangement are usually chosen.
Z-type buried scraper conveyor: V-type scraper in inward form arrangement.
Ring-lock (MK type) buried scraper conveyor: V-type scraper in outward form arrangement.
Planar ring structure (MP type) buried scraper conveyor: L-type scraper in outward form arrangement.
Facade ring structure (ML type) buried scraper conveyor: V-type scraper in outward form arrangement.

In order to meet the actual needs of buried scraper conveyor various operations, according to the nature of the material being conveyed, different machine groove width and transport capacity of the conveyor, a variety of types of blades and chains.
(1)The types of the scraper
According to the shape classification:
1.flat scraper (such as T-type)
2.framework scraper (such as U-shaped, V-type, H type)
3.a side pull type scraper (such as L-type)
4.three-dimensional angular blade or the like
A U-type & V-type scrapers: widely used and suitable for horizontal, inclined and vertical transmission
B T-type & L-type scrapers: apply to horizontal transmission
C H-type scrapers: appropriate for square cross section conveyor
