Chain Plate Conveyors: Reliable Material Handling Solution for Paper Mills and Industrial Applications

What Are Chain Plate Conveyors?

Chain Plate Conveyor is used for conveying all kinds of bulks or bales material in pulp & paper industry. It can transport horizontally or the decline degree is lower than 30°. And it is mostly used for waste paper to pulper feeding.

Chain Plate conveyors is mainly used for conveying various kinds of waste paper and pulp board in bulk and in bale. Yunda offers a complete line of conveying products meet your needs Our conveyor systems can be designed to handle a wide variety of materials in a highly efficient and cost-effective manner.

Introduction

In modern pulp and paper mills, efficient and stable material handling systems are critical to ensuring continuous production and reducing downtime.

Chain Plate Conveyors are widely used material handling systems designed for heavy-duty and continuous conveying in various industries. In paper mills, chain plate conveyors play a critical role in transporting pulp, waste paper, and production rejects.

Thanks to its robust structure, stable operation, and long service life, the chain plate conveyor plays an essential role in conveying pulp, waste paper, rejects, paper scraps, and bulk materials throughout the paper production line.

The machine structure is reasonable and uses chain transmission to drive groove plate transporting material. It has such advantages: transporting capacity is big, low power consumption, little wearing, reliable operation and so on, it is the best waste paper transporting equipment at present through tens of paper mills in our country with the ideal effect.

To meet the users, we think of the requirement of process arrangement, the chain conveyor transmission part divides into the left and the right kinds (face to the incoming direction, the transmission device on the left side is the right assemble, otherwise is left assemble). The users can choose the plate chain transporting assembly type according to process design requirement and you should note it in the contract when ordering.

Key Features of Chain Plate Conveyor for Paper Industry:

• Slotted Plate engineered with reinforced strength and impact resistant.
• Direct Coupling of the main shaft reducer and couplings offering more driven stability.
• Widened Side Plates, for enhanced throughput capacity and efficiency in the delivery of the materials.
• Heavier, more robust components (link connectors, heavier rollers, axis pins, etc.) Additional modifications like Heavy-duty, wear resistant bushings and other details deliver overall stability.
• Rail-mounted assembly allow for self-supporting anchoring to make the BWF Series Chain Conveyor more reliable with low friction coefficient and power consumption.
• If is mainy used for conveying various kinds of waste paper and pulp board in bulk and in bale，can be horizontal conveyor or inclined conveyor（<30°）
• The chain drives the plate to convey matenial, large capacity, low power consumption, low wear and reliable operation.
• Heavy-Duty Structure: High-strength steel frame，Wear-resistant chain plates，Designed for continuous 24/7 operation.
• Stable and Reliable Operation：Smooth material conveying，Low vibration and noise，Reduced risk of material spillage.
• Flexible Installation：Horizontal or inclined conveying,Customizable length and width，Suitable for complex plant layouts.
• Long Service Life：Hardened chains and sprockets，Corrosion-resistant materials (optional stainless steel)，Low maintenance requirements.

Chain Plate Conveyors for Paper Mills

A Chain Plate Conveyor is a mechanical conveying system that uses steel chain-driven plates to transport materials horizontally or at an incline.
In paper mills, it is specially designed to handle:

• Wet or dry pulp
• Waste paper and broke
• Screen rejects and tailings
• Heavy or abrasive materials

Compared with belt conveyors, chain plate conveyors offer higher load capacity, better wear resistance, and more reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.

The Chain Plate Conveyors is commonly used in the following sections:

• Waste paper handling system
• Pulp preparation line
• Screening and cleaning reject conveying
• Broke handling system
• Solid waste transportation

Its strong conveying capability makes it ideal for high-moisture and high-density materials, where traditional conveyors may fail.

Advantages Over Other Conveying Systems

Item	Chain Plate Conveyor	Belt Conveyor
Load capacity	High	Medium
Wear resistance	Excellent	Moderate
Wet material handling	Very suitable	Limited
Service life	Long	Shorter
Maintenance frequency	Low	Higher

For paper mills requiring durability and reliability, chain plate conveyors are often the preferred solution.

Why Choose a Chain Plate Conveyor for Your Paper Mill?

• Improves material handling efficiency
• Reduces manual labor
• Minimizes downtime and maintenance cost
• Suitable for harsh papermaking environments
• Ensures continuous and safe production

Whether for a new paper mill project or an equipment upgrade, a Chain Plate Conveyor is a reliable and cost-effective choice.

Chain Plate Conveyors are essential material handling equipment for paper mills and other heavy industries. With its heavy-duty design, stable performance, and adaptability, it meets the demanding requirements of modern papermaking processes.Choosing a high-quality chain plate conveyor not only improves production efficiency but also ensures long-term operational reliability for your paper mill.
