A conveyor chain transports big, heavy, bulky containers down the line for inspection or to load a tractor trailer up for delivery. It is basically a big belt on rollers that is powered by electricity and as the belt turns is moves the product down the line.

How does a bucket conveyor work?

A bucket conveyor works by using buckets to scoop up material or grain, that is fed into a hopper.

How do change the speed of a chain driven conveyor?

Once you are familiar with how a chain-driven conveyor works, it is not difficult to change the speed. Chain-driven conveyors typically have a motor, the sprockets, and then the chain all working together to move product. You can change the speed in a few different ways: Using a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD): This is the most common option for changing the speed of a motor on a conveyor; and, if your conveyor motor is a compatible motor, this option can mean you are changing the speed of the motor electronically. If you use a VFD, it will be a speed change that you can adjust smoothly without having to change any mechanical parts. Changing the sprocket size: The speed at which a conveyor will run will be proportional to the ratio of the drive sprocket to the driven sprocket. You can increase and decrease the speed of the chain by simply changing out the sprocket for a smaller or larger sprocket. While changing the gear ratio is not always an option, some systems have gear reducers or gear boxes (or a combination of both). You may have the ability to change the gear ratio inside the gearbox and therefore change the speed of the conveyor as well. This may be ideal if a VFD is not a viable option. A motor with a different RPM rating: This option is less convenient than both the VFD option and the sprocket option, but you can always take out the existing motor and put in a motor with a different RPM rating. If all else fails, this option is available to you. For a resource you can consider using, Pepagora, has verified suppliers for buildings chain-driven conveyors or component parts of chain-driven conveyors. Pepagora also allows you to compare the products of a couple brand alternatives to be purchased.
