Modernization of the Units of a Tubular Scraper Flight Conveyor

Abstract

Ways of solving problems that arise in the operation of tubular scraper flight conveyors designed for hauling friable or fine abrasive materials are presented. The most frequently occurring problems are the following: seizure of the traction chain in a loaded pivoted section, wear of the branch tubes and scrapers, ingress of hauled raw material into the bridling equipment when the conveyor reverses direction, and increased noise level in the course of operation of the conveyor.
