Product Description
The chain plate box feeder is a material conveying device used in the clay fired brick industry. It mainly consists of the head frame, head cover, driving sprocket group, conveying device, middle frame, tail frame, reversing sprocket group, chain plate idler group and driving device. The working principle is that the driving device transmits power to the driving sprocket, which drives the two chains running around the driving sprocket and the reversing sprocket. The chain plate is connected with the chain, the material is placed on the chain plate, and the material is conveyed horizontally or at an incline with the movement of the chain plate. In the production of clay fired bricks, it is usually used to convey clay and other raw materials evenly and quantitatively from the storage bin to the subsequent processing equipment, such as mixers and molding machines.
Advantages of the Equipment:
1. Versatility in Material Handling: Except for materials with extremely high viscosity and temperature, it can convey a wide range of solid materials and packaged items. In the clay fired brick industry, it shows good adaptability to clay raw materials with different particle sizes and moisture contents.
2. High Conveying Capacity: The chain plate structure is robust and capable of withstanding significant material weight. This results in high production capacity, which can meet the raw material supply demands of large-scale clay fired brick production.
3. High Strength of Traction Chain: It enables long-distance conveying, reducing the need for intermediate transfer points. This not only enhances conveying efficiency but also lowers the likelihood of equipment failure.
4. Flexible Conveying Route Layout: Compared with belt conveyors, it can convey materials at larger inclines and smaller bending radii. This makes it convenient for layout in complex production workshops and allows for flexible adjustment of the conveying route according to the process requirements.
5. Long Service Life: The chain plates and traction chains are usually made of wear-resistant materials, which gives them strong wear and corrosion resistance. They can operate stably for a long time in harsh working environments, reducing equipment maintenance costs and replacement frequency.
Comparison between Chain Plate Feeder and Belt Feeder:
Material Conveying Characteristics:
-
Chain Plate Feeder: Suitable for conveying irregularly shaped materials such as lumps and granules, with strong adaptability to changes in material particle size and moisture content.
-
Belt Feeder: More suitable for conveying powdered and small granular materials with low moisture content. The conveying effect is relatively poor for large lumps or materials with high moisture content.
Conveying Capacity:
-
Chain Plate Feeder: With a robust structure, it generally has a higher conveying capacity than belt feeders, capable of meeting the demands of high-volume production.
-
Belt Feeder: Typically has a lower conveying capacity compared to chain plate feeders.
Wear Resistance:
-
Chain Plate Feeder: The chain plates and sprockets are made of wear-resistant materials, making it suitable for conveying materials with high abrasiveness.
-
Belt Feeder: The belt is prone to wear from the conveyed materials, especially when conveying sharp granular materials, where belt wear is more noticeable.
Conveying Angle:
-
Chain Plate Feeder: Can convey materials at a larger incline, with a maximum angle of up to 30° - 35°.
-
Belt Feeder: Generally has a smaller conveying angle, usually not exceeding 20°, to prevent material from sliding down.
Maintenance Cost:
-
Chain Plate Feeder: The structure is relatively complex, requiring more maintenance work. However, due to its long service life, the overall maintenance cost may not be high.
-
Belt Feeder: Simple in structure and easy to maintain, but the belt needs regular replacement, so the overall maintenance cost should not be overlooked.

The Importance of the Equipment in the Process Flow:
1. Stabilizing Production Rhythm The chain plate box feeder, as a front-end device in the clay fired brick production process, ensures the stable and uniform feeding of materials. This guarantees that subsequent equipment such as mixers and molding machines can operate at the set production rhythm. It prevents issues like equipment idling and product quality fluctuations caused by insufficient or uneven material supply. This helps maintain the continuity and stability of the entire production process.
2. Ensuring Product Quality By precisely controlling the feeding amount and achieving uniform blending of raw materials, the feeder provides stable-quality raw materials for subsequent processing stages. This is crucial for producing clay fired bricks with high dimensional accuracy and consistent performance. It is one of the key factors in ensuring product quality.
3. Improving Production Efficiency Efficient material conveying and accurate feeding control reduce production interruptions and equipment adjustment time caused by material supply problems. This increases equipment utilization and enhances the efficiency of the entire clay fired brick production process.
Other Introductions:
Chain Sprocket Design: The chain sprockets of the chain plate box feeder typically adopt an assembled structure, which facilitates disassembly and installation. This makes the maintenance and replacement of components more convenient. The driving sprocket usually employs a socket-type sprocket ring, which can effectively prevent the chain from slipping during operation. This ensures the accuracy and stability of the transmission.
Customization Capabilities: The equipment can also be customized according to different production requirements. For example, the size and shape of the chain plates can be altered, and the conveying speed can be adjusted. These customizations enable the feeder to better adapt to the various production processes of clay fired brick manufacturing.
