Plate Chain and Circle Chain Overview

AGICO plate chain is mostly used for cement raw meal, clinker elevator, and can also be used for coal and stone materials with high abrasiveness. Customizable plate chain is suitable for various kinds of bucket elevator. It is a high-strength chain processed by heat treatment of alloy steel. Under normal continuous use, the service life of the conveyor chain is guaranteed to be 3-5 years . The running part on the plate chain type for bucket elevator, the hopper is mounted on it, which is used to lift the material from a low place to a high place for unloading. The plate chain has good sealing performance and less ring gold pollution. Easy to operate and maintain, less wearing parts. The use cost is low, and the use cost of the leaf chain is extremely low due to energy saving and less maintenance. Reliable operation, the mechanical size of this leaf chain is small. Large conveying capacity, plate chain is an important transportation equipment in coal mine production, and plays a vital role in the safety of the entire working face.

The machine parts in the structure of the elevator chain are assembled into one by the upper casing, the driving shaft parts, the reducer, the coupling, the motor, etc. According to the height required to be lifted and the different number of middle casings, the central casing can meet the needs. The bucket elevator chain of AGICO Cement is composed of round steel welded ring chains. The hopper is vibrated on the joint of the chain with a nut. Bucket elevators with different heights are now equipped with corresponding number of chains, joints, and hoppers. Mechanical part: main shaft device, reducer, coupling, brake, hydraulic station, depth indicator and its transmission device, tachometer speed device, guard plate, guard cover, guardrail. The main parts of the bucket elevatoring head wheel and the bottom wheel bearing rotation of the tail wheel are the high-quality alloy steel high-strength plate chain, which is wear-resistant and reliable. The drive part adopts a hard tooth surface reducer.

Function in the plant

How the Plate Chain and Circle Chain Works

The Plate Chain and Circle Chain moves, meters or guides bulk material through the plant handling system. Its performance cannot be judged by outside dimensions alone. Load path, mating parts, operating environment and the condition of the surrounding equipment all affect whether a replacement will fit correctly and run reliably. AGICO therefore reviews the component as part of the machine rather than treating it as an isolated catalogue item.

For a replacement project, the most useful starting point is the current drawing together with the equipment model and site observations. Wear photographs, failure location, maintenance history and measurements taken during shutdown help distinguish normal consumption from an interface, alignment or operating problem. This review allows the quotation to state the proposed supply boundary and the information that still requires confirmation.

Engineering selection

Plate Chain and Circle Chain Selection Criteria

Confirming the following groups of data reduces dimensional risk and avoids selecting the Plate Chain and Circle Chain from a name or model reference alone.

01

Required capacity and bulk-material characteristics

Provide the available values, drawing references and photographs for required capacity and bulk-material characteristics. AGICO will compare them with the proposed Plate Chain and Circle Chain configuration and identify any missing inputs before the manufacturing basis is released.

02

Speed, lift, inclination and operating schedule

Where site data differs from an old drawing, mark the measured value and the measurement position. The final requirement should be agreed against the approved drawing rather than assumed from a nominal equipment designation.

03

Connection geometry, shaft centers and installation envelope

Provide the available values, drawing references and photographs for connection geometry, shaft centers and installation envelope. AGICO will compare them with the proposed Plate Chain and Circle Chain configuration and identify any missing inputs before the manufacturing basis is released.

Controlled production

Manufacturing and Inspection Route

The production route for the Plate Chain and Circle Chain is established after drawing review. It typically coordinates material preparation, fabrication or casting, machining and trial assembly. Process hold points depend on material, geometry and the buyer's inspection requirements. Critical datums and machining references are identified early so that later operations protect the interfaces used during installation.

Inspection is planned around product risk rather than added only at final dispatch. Material and fabrication records for the agreed scope; Pitch, profile, hole pattern and interface dimensions; Runout, alignment or movement checks where applicable; Surface protection and identification for installation. When a test or report is required, it should be listed in the enquiry so that sampling, acceptance criteria and document format can be agreed before manufacture. Final release checks also confirm marking, quantity, surface protection and the packing list.

Plan the shutdown

Inspection and Replacement Indicators

Maintenance teams should evaluate the Plate Chain and Circle Chain together with its mating parts and operating records. Typical reasons for closer inspection include:

Material leakage, carryback or unstable flow. Record the location, extent and operating condition, then compare the finding with the equipment maker's limits and the site's maintenance procedure before deciding whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

Uneven wear, elongation, tracking error or interference. Record the location, extent and operating condition, then compare the finding with the equipment maker's limits and the site's maintenance procedure before deciding whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

Abnormal noise, vibration or drive-load increase. Record the location, extent and operating condition, then compare the finding with the equipment maker's limits and the site's maintenance procedure before deciding whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

Cracks, deformation or damaged connections found during inspection. Record the location, extent and operating condition, then compare the finding with the equipment maker's limits and the site's maintenance procedure before deciding whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

From drawing to site

Custom Supply, Packing and Worldwide Delivery

AGICO can prepare a drawing-based Plate Chain and Circle Chain for new supply or replacement service. The technical review covers the requested material, configuration, interfaces, inspection scope and documentation. If the original drawing is incomplete, provide measurements, nameplate information and clear photographs; the missing points will be listed for confirmation. No order-dependent dimension or performance value is treated as final until it appears in the approved technical documents.

Packing is planned for component weight, geometry, transport mode and destination. Finished surfaces can be protected against handling damage and corrosion, while loose accessories and documents are identified against the packing list. For international delivery, buyers should state the destination, preferred trade terms, lifting or site-access restrictions and required arrival schedule so that the quotation can separate manufacturing scope from freight and local handling.
