Structure and Function of Boiler Chain Sprocket

The boiler sprocket is usually composed of the wheel body, tooth grooves and shaft holes, and transmits power by meshing with the chain. Its core functions include:

  • Drive chain operation: The rotation of the sprocket drives the chain to move, achieving continuous transportation of fuel (such as coal).
  • Regulate the combustion rate: By controlling the chain speed through the sprocket speed, the fuel residence time on the grate is indirectly adjusted to optimize the combustion efficiency.
  • Adapt to the type of boiler: In chain grate boilers, the boiler sprocket is the core component of the grate system and directly affects the combustion stability.

Boiler Sprocket Materials

The material of the industrial boiler sprocket needs to take into account wear resistance, high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Common choices include:

  • Cast iron: Low cost, suitable for medium and low-temperature environments, but has relatively poor wear resistance.
  • Cast steel: High strength, high-temperature resistance, suitable for heavy-duty or high-temperature scenarios;
  • Alloy steel: By adding elements such as chromium and molybdenum, its wear resistance and corrosion resistance are enhanced, and its service life is prolonged.

Boiler Sprocket Application Scenario

Boiler sprockets are widely used in industrial and power station boilers, especially playing a key role in the following scenarios:

Chain grate boiler: The sprocket drives the chain, which moves the grate plates to achieve layer-by-layer fuel combustion. Boiler Sprocket
Biomass boilers: They need to be adapted to the characteristics of biomass fuel and have higher requirements for the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the sprocket. Boiler Sprocket
Waste incineration boilers: They need to withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, which poses
