Hinged Steel Plate Conveyor
We deliver Hinged Steel Plate Conveyors for the transport of heavy materials. This includes glowing hot steel and forging parts, hot and abrasive bulk material such as hot sinter, and used hot forging sand. We also offer Hinged Steel Plate Conveyors that transport scrap metal, waste and other contaminated bulk materials, recycling paper transport (pulper feeding), and as a cooling belt for foundries. For crusher charging, we deliver heavy duty steel plate conveyors that handle gravel and large rocks of up to one ton per piece (according to impact and wear forces).
Functionality
Leveled heavy steel plate conveyors that transport heavy pallets or containers loaded with bricks, aerated concrete, sand-lime bricks or cobblestone are also available. We also offer conveyors for molding boxes used as collecting containers at shake out stations in foundries, as well as for assembly of machines, drives and vehicles (assembly lines).
In an angled configuration, Hinged Steel Plate Conveyors also serve as a way to charge large recycling containers and for other means of waste disposal.
The hinged plate belt is driven by dual bush chains. They carry the entire load of the conveying belt. For heavy duty applications, the chains are reinforced with stub rollers bolted to every second link. In general, the supporting elements of the chain roll efficiently across special supporting rails within the conveyor’s frame. Gear sprockets at the ends of the conveyor interlink with the chains in to drive the belt, creating the required tension and assist with belt rotation. A Hinged Plate Conveyor has flanged rollers which are an element of the chain itself and stub rollers which act as additional supporting rollers. The flanged rollers in the chain usually use friction bearings, but sealed rolling bearings are also an option. The separate support rollers outside of the chain are either drop-forged or chill casted and have dual rolling bearings on the inside that fit around the socket pin. These bearings are fitted with a special seal, allowing them to resist even the toughest and dustiest applications.

Fields of Application
Plate belt conveyors are primarily used in foundries and recycling plants. Wherever heavy or hot materials need to be conveyed reliably, they offer maximum stability and durability. Their robust steel construction enables the safe transport of bulk materials, cast parts, and metal residues even under harsh operating conditions. With adaptable designs and segment configurations, the conveyors can be optimally matched to different processes.
steel parts, hot sinter, cast parts
recycling material, waste paper, stone, heavy pallets and scrap metal
Optional Features
The plate belt conveyor can be flexibly adapted to different applications. Variants with feed hoppers, side walls, or special steel segments enable optimal configuration for any area of use and ensure reliable performance in continuous industrial operation.
Supporting Structure
Steel segments with crossbars or hardwood inlays provide a stable and gentle support structure for workpiece carriers.
Segment Design
Overlapping steel segments ensure a sealed belt design and enable the safe transport of even coarse or hot bulk materials.
Hopper and Side Wall Design
Feed hoppers ensure uniform loading and prevent build-up during the conveying process.
Advantages
Plate belt conveyors impress with high load capacity and a robust construction. Their low-maintenance design ensures reliable continuous operation, while the flexible structure allows a wide range of adaptations to different processes. The rugged design guarantees a long service life even under demanding operating conditions.
High adaptability
The usable conveying widths, axle distances, and routing of the plate belt conveyors are defined by the specific tasks and local conditions. Our steel plate conveyors are designed for heavy loads as well as abrasive and high-temperature applications. With many years of experience in manufacturing such systems, we have developed constructions that ensure long-term, low-wear operation. By using modern materials and state-of-the-art sealing and guiding elements, we strive to provide our customers with conveying systems offering high availability.
