Introduction
Shallow trough conveyor chains are key components of heavy medium shallow trough separators and are mainly used for the separation of clean coal and gangue in coal washing and selection. It lifts the gangue at the bottom of the trough to the discharge end through the scraper chain, while the clean coal flows with the suspension to the overflow weir and is discharged, achieving efficient separation.
Parameters
Chain Structural Characteristics
Roller-free design
The traditional rollers are cancelled and replaced with a direct fit between the sleeve and the pin shaft to reduce the wear caused by dust entering the gap.
The scraper is fixed by a long pin shaft to enhance the stability of the conveying process.
Materials and Processes
Chain plate: Made of alloy steel with high yield strength and tensile strength, it can resist impact loads and fatigue fracture.
Sleeve and pin: Surface hardening treatment, clearance fit reduces the probability of medium infiltration (by 82%), and operating resistance is reduced by 23%.
Modular design
Quickly replace chain links and scrapers to reduce downtime.
Typical Application Scenarios
| Coal washing and selection | Mineral processing | Logistics and building materials |
| Large processing capacity, separation efficiency up to 99%, and low water consumption (about 1.8 m³/t). | Applicable to the separation process of heavy media such as iron ore and copper ore. | Undertake high-throughput tasks in bulk material conveying systems |
Product Reviews
| Rachel Thompson, Operations Manager | Liam Morgan, Plant Engineer | Daniel Scott, Mechanical Fitter |
| “The shallow trough conveyor chain we sourced from GBC has been running reliably in our coal preparation facility. What stood out was the chain’s consistency in operation under wet, slurry-heavy conditions. We’ve had fewer alignment issues compared to our old setup.” | “Our team installed GBC’s shallow trough conveyor chain in a Queensland coal washing plant last winter. It’s performed well under variable loads and high moisture. The wear rate is acceptable, and chain tension stays stable. It was a cost-effective upgrade.” | “The conveyor chain from GBC replaced our older setup in a small coal handling unit outside Perth. I appreciate the precision of the links and how well they hold under consistent loading. Maintenance has been reduced noticeably over the past six months.” |
