Mining Chain Conveyors

Mining Chain Conveyors are used for material transportation in underground coal mines with varying capacities, dependent on the application. Material is transported on twin outboard chains with flights. These chains are driven by sprockets provided at the drive ends; sprockets are also provided at the tail end to ensure the smooth running of the chains. The drive unit consists of compact side-mounted gear boxes with flanges for attaching the motor and the fluid coupling.

The Armoured Face Conveyor ("AFC") has pans made out of rolled Sigma Sections which are robust in their construction and provide a strong base for guiding the mining machine. Such rolled Sigma Sections are imported from Germany, Spain and Poland.
