Round Bottom Conveyors
The principal advantage of round bottom conveyors over other chain conveyors is cleanout. Close tolerance in the contour tail and fit of flites in the trough ensures minimal amounts of material remain in the housing between batches. Clean-out of RB conveyors is much greater than screw conveyors, and requires less horsepower. Please note that no type of single-chain conveyor can promise 100% clean-out under all conditions, but RB conveyors are more effective than other single-chain conveyors!
Round Bottom conveyors are designed to operate horizontally or at inclines to 45° (some materials to 60°) with one or two bend sections.
