Carrier conveyor

[rob h]

i have some carrier chain and flight conveyors in a shed I’ve never used them..we are now needing some conveyors to rig up the dryer but I have no idea of the output of them.they are 6inch wide trough with cast chains that hook together.can anyone tell me what capacity the are

 

[Exfarmer]

I think the 6 inch were generally rated at 10 tonnes an hour, may be more in a short run

Think this may help

My apologies for posting incorrectly, probably thinking of four inch conveyors

Thanks thats just what i needed. Ive looked for hours on the net and couldn’t find any specs on them.i got them 20 years back when we bought the critall bins they came with all the elevators and conveyors.as we had no use for them they went in a shed just in case so had no idea of the output.looks like they will be ok for the new dryer as its 10 t/h although we cant find a model number on it .

Unless a batch drier, you really need a Flo / return conveyor, or at least a diverter.

[/QUOTE] I may be needing a flow and return yet.we still haven't decided on the best place for the pit .Trying to keep the number of conveyers to a minimum.if we didn't have a door way in the end of the shed I'd have more room for it

Can get away with a standard conveyor filling the drier
Just continue conveyor past the drier filling point and have a return pipe at the end.
once drier is full grain just carries onto the end and down pipe

That's a option depending on where the pit goes.we could have a pit the other side of the door with grain walling arround giving a large capacity but would need a conveyor either above or under the floor to get it to the dryer.

Rob, what can you say about chain driven live roller conveyors which I could find on the web? A lot of people say that they are pretty stable and reliable enough for any kind of facility, even for regular plants, with all kinds of micro climates. Do you think it's the best choice as an alternative for carrier conveyor?

If you are talking about Belt conveyor I have one coming out next week,
