Re: Spillage Collection And Return
Hi James,
A scrapper conveyor would work, but is likely to require heavy maintenance. The metal tube with discs on a wire rope conveyor, or a screw conveyor would provide good recapture of fines with minimal maintenance.

Spillage Conveyor
Dear sir
for such spillage application disc type tube conveyor is best option . However for this application you are handling hot clinker that may cause expension of tube and discs will be loose in expended tube.
Moreover for smooth running of discs polymer iner is provided on discs same may not work for this application.
in case temperature of material is more than 65-70 degree yhis system is doubtful
With Regards

Spillage Collection and Return
Hi All,
We have on the hot clinker and lime transport system steel pans (overlapping type) conveyor.
These pan conveyors are great except for the spillage that drops out on the return strand....the fines do get into between the overlapping sideways. The fines are released as the pans move/open up...this is at the reverse curves and the tail station.
U get piles of fines at these 2 points plus U can get fines building up in a line leading up the tail station....2 lines , one each side.
The issue is clean up.
Scarper chain conveyors have been suggested - in the C shape - flat horizontal run, vertical lift leg and then flat horizontal run for discharge onto the carry side.
These are expensive and I am not too keen on drag chain conveyors - small sizes.
What is out there that works well....say on lime (whihc does not harden) to collect from a horizontal run and lift/return the dust back to the carry side.???
We are thinking of a tube conveyor - wire rope with discs attached to it...route it to suit.
Thanks
James ■
