CICSA designes and manufactures high-quality round steel link chains type LH and MH for submerged scraper conveyors

CICSA chains LH and MH for submerged scraper conveyorsCICSA chains LH and MH are designed for submerged scraper conveyors, which are generally used for ash removal below the coal fired boilers of large power plants. Submerged scraper conveyors mainly use a two-chain conveying system, with a driving station using sprockets (toothed or pocket wheel type) and the chain guided by intermediate and reverse wheels following the path required for conveying the bulk material.

In the most advanced and demanding configurations, this kind of conveyors make use of special long-pitch chains, corresponding to the standard CICSA chains LH and MH.

The chains LH and MH are carburized and specially heat-treated to achieve exceptionally high resistance to wear together with high tensile stress resistance.

Chain ends are several meters long. They are manufactured with extremely high precision (tolerance on the length in each pair is 0.05% at the most), and joined together by means of special couplings (CICSA special couplings GZ); scraping elements are fitted directly on the chain with special fittings.
