Comparison of Chain Conveyor and Belt Conveyor

Conveying equipment chain conveyor and belt conveyor can be used for conveying materials in bulk and in bundle in paper processing system.

Chain conveyor is mainly used for conveying various kinds of pulp board, waste paper in bulk and in bundle which can be horizontal conveyor or inclined conveyor(<30°). Adopt special made chain drive one-time impact stamping, trough plate to convey material, which has advantages of large capacity, low motor power, less wear, reliable operation and high efficiency.

Belt conveyors are the most commonly used bulk handling conveyors in history due to their reliability, versatility, and range of capacities. Materials from fine powders to large, lumpy stones can be handled on a belt conveyor, and these conveyor belts are used in a wide variety of material transport applications such as manufacturing, food processing, and heavy industry.

Chain conveyor has the benefits of large transmission capacity, large transmission angle, and stable and reliable running. Belt conveyor has the features of  low equipment investment cost, but small throughput, easy to skid when the transmission angle is large.
