En-masse Conveyor Scraper and Chain Selection Guide (Categorized by Typical Working Conditions)

Author :


General Working Conditions (Ambient TemperatureNon-corrosiveLow Abrasion)

Applicable MaterialsCoalcementgrainfertilizeretc.

Recommended Materials:

  • ScraperQ235 / 16Mn (quenchedhardness HRC45-50)
  • Chain20Mn2 carburized and quenched chain

Features and Advantages:

  • Low overall cost and high cost effectiveness
  • Easy maintenance and convenient spare parts replacement
  • Suitable for medium and light load conveying scenarios with a conveying capacity of ≤100 m³/h

High Abrasion Working Conditions (Material Hardness >HRC 30)

Applicable MaterialsOrequartz sandfurnace slagconstruction wasteetc.

Recommended Materials:

  • ScraperNM400 wear-resistant steel (thickness ≥12 mmor alloy cast iron scraper
  • Chain40Cr / 20CrMnTi alloy chain (carburized and quenchedsurface hardness HRC55 60)

Design Optimization Suggestions:

  • Adopt rounded edges on the scraper to reduce cracking caused by impact
  • Increase the chain pitch by 10–15% to enhance load-bearing capacity and wear life

Corrosive Working Conditions (Acidic / Alkaline Materialsor High Humidity Environment)

Applicable MaterialsChemical raw materialsacid and alkali solutionssaltsseawater desalination sludgeetc.

Material Selection Based on Corrosion Level:

  • Weak corrosion (pH 4-10)304 stainless steel scraper +304 stainless steel chain
  • Strong corrosion (pH < 4 or pH > 10)316L scraper+316L chain
  • Extremely strong corrosion (containing chlorinefluorine media)Hastelloy scraper + titanium alloy chain

Protective Measures:

  • Polish the scraper surface to reduce attachment and corrosion points
  • Use sealed pin structure for chains to prevent the ingress of corrosive media

High Temperature Working Conditions (Material Temperature >100)

Applicable MaterialsHigh-temperature furnace slagclinkerasphalthigh-temperature chemical materialsetc.

Material Selection Based on Temperature Level:

  • Medium temperature (100-300)16Mn heat-resistant scraper + 40Cr alloy chain
  • High temperature (300-800)321 stainless steel scraper + 321 chain

Accompanying Suggestions:

  • Select high-temperature wear-resistant bearings (with a temperature tolerance  material temperature +50)
  • Use molybdenum disulfide high-temperature lubricating grease for chains

Sanitary Working Conditions (FoodPharmaceutical Industry)

Applicable MaterialsFlourgrainspharmaceutical raw materialsfood additivesetc.

Recommended Materials:

  • Scraper304/316L stainless steel (with surface polishing Ra  0.8 μm)
  • Chain304/316L stainless steel chain (with a design that facilitates cleaning without dead corners)

Compliance and Design Requirements:

  • Material selection must comply with FDA or food-grade requirements to prevent heavy metal leaching
  • Prioritize welding for the connection between scraper and chain to minimize sanitary dead corners
