En-Masse Conveyors
En-Masse conveyor is a material handling equipment to convey the material for medium amd shorter distance by dragging the material with the help of chain link assembly. The constructional feature comprises of conveyor in three segments. They are drive end casing segment, tension end casing segment and intermediate casing segment.
The drive end segment consist of drive sprocket mounted on shaft and shaft coupled with drive arangement though transmission chain arangement or coupling. Similarly tension end casing segment consist of trailing wheel mounted on shaft having a tension end acccessories of screw or spring take-up arrangement to adjust the chain tension. Intermediate casing segement shall house the chain and wear strip. Conveyors shall be mounted on structural support either fixed or sliding considering the operating temperature. At elevated temperature the design of drive end casing changes in order to compensate the thermal expansion of chain link.
En-Masse Conveyors feature a highly flexible design that allows a single machine to replace several conventional units such as feeders, conveyors and bucket elevators. They can be used for both horizontal and vertical conveying of virtually any free-flowing bulk material. Capacities over 800 tons per hour are possible in a single machine, at material temperatures up to 900 degrees F.
