Apron Chain and Rollers:
Apron feeders use heavy duty crawler tractor chains (Caterpillar tractor type), commonly sized to suit the
application. The chain links are forged for increased load capacity. Pins and bushes are hardened on the wearing
surface.
The carrying rollers are spaced to eliminate the sag, mounted on support frames to permit easy removal for
maintenance and replacement. The apron plates are bolted on flat top of the chain links, as shown below:
Special design and exclusive metal to metal allows continuous pan contact through articulation minimizes spillage
and leakage, as indicated below:
Drag and Flight Conveyors
Drag conveyors are used where multiple loading or discharge points are required and a totally enclosed conveyor is
needed for dust containment, capable of handling ne materials ranging from dust to 6 inch (150 mm) lumps, where
capacity requirements are high, 200 - 400 TPH.
They are used and when the material is somewhat uid. The typical materials conveyed are TSP (fertilizer), raw meal,
and nish cement.

3. FORMULAS FOR EASY CALCULATIONS:
1) Chain conveyor or apron chain conveyor calculation system. The load tensions are calculated as indicated below:
T = Fs + Fi + Fk (Kgf) (lbf)
Fs = (Qt x L) + (Pch x L) x f =
Fi = Pch x L x f1 =
2
Fk = (Qt + Pch) x L1 x sen x f2
2) To calculate the driving power (CV or HP), use the following formulas:
N = T x v (m/s) (metric) and T x v (fpm) (imperial).
75 33000
Where:
T = Total chain force or total work chain tension (kgf) (lbf);
Fs = Upper chain tension (kgf) (lbf)
Fi = Under chain tension (kgf) (lbf)
Fk = Lift chain tension (kgf) (lbf)
Q = Conveyor total load - (t/h) (tph)
Qt = Conveyed material weight (kg/m) (lb/ft)
L = Total conveyor direct length (including inclined/declined) - (m) (ft)
L1 = Conveyor horizontal direct length (m) (ft)
L2 = Conveyor slope (inclined / declined) extension direct length (m) (ft)
Pch = Total chain weight (see manufacturers tables according to chain types);
N = Driving power (kW) - (HP)
f = Upper chain friction factor 0.25 ~ 0.35;
f1 = Down chain friction factor 0.10 ~ 0.15;
f2 = Lift chain friction factor 0.25 ~ 0.35;
v = Chain conveyor speed (m/s) - (fpm)
= Driving sprocket diameter (mm) - (in)
= Conveyor slope angle;
= Bulk density of conveyed material (kg/m) - (lb/ft)

4. PRACTICAL EXAMPLE:
Calculate the driving power of a Drag Roller Chain Conveyor, commonly used in Sugar Plants considering the
following sketch below:
Where:
Q - Chain conveyor capacity = 90 tph
- Sugar cane bulk density = 900 kg/m - (56 lb/ft)
v Conveyor speed = 5 m/min (0.083 m/s) (16.3 fpm)
- Driving sprocket diameter = 270 mm (10.6 in)
1 Driving pulley on driving shaft = 290 mm (11.4 in)
Pch -Total drag chain weight = 160 kg/m (both sides) (107.5 lb/ft)
L1 - Conveyor horizontal direct length = 2.5 m (8.2 ft)
L2 = Conveyor slope (inclined) direct length = 14.5 m (47,5 ft)
= Conveyor slope angle = 28
Solution:
1). CALCULATION ACCORDING TO MATERIAL FLOW:
kg/h = kg/m or lb/h = lb/ft
m/h ft/h
Q - 90 tph = 90,000 kg/h (198,450 lb/h)
v 5 m/min = 5 x 60 = 300 m/h (984 ft/h)
Qt = 90,000 kg/h = 300 kg/m Qt = 198,450 lb/h = 202 lb/ft
300 m/h 984 ft/h
