Mechanical Conveyors

The Kongskilde KCC and KCA chain conveyors provide efficient and reliable horizontal and inclining conveying of grain and granular materials.

The KCA series offers additional flexibility, designed to handle both horizontal and inclined conveying, making it suitable for grain intake pits and applications requiring vertical lift. With an inclination of up to 45 degrees, the KCA chain conveyors are ideal for versatile grain handling systems. Both series are built with heavy-duty, galvanized steel construction, ensuring durability and easy installation through a modular design.

KCC Chain Conveyors for Horizontal Conveying

The KCC chain conveyors are perfect for horizontal grain conveying over long distances. They can be constructed in lengths of up to 50 meters, with a capacity of up to 120 tonnes per hour. The KCC conveyors offer quick assembly thanks to their modular system, which allows for flexibility in extending or adjusting conveyor lengths to suit all layouts.

Benefits of KCC Chain Conveyors:

• Quick and easy assembly for different conveying distances using standard modular system of extensions
• All modules are made from galvanized steel
• Suitable for outdoor installation
• The conveyor extensions are supplied with a 10 mm PEHD-reinforced bottom lining
• High energy efficiency compact bevel gear motor with minimal layout space requirements
• Overflow flap with switch on drive unit
• Cleaning buckets every approx. 2m chain
• Extensions with side inlet for installation in grain pit and storage system
• Cleaning brush located on the intermediate outlet to prevent grain overflow

Accessories for KCC Chain Conveyors

• Intermediate Outlets: Available with manual, electric, or pneumatic operation for flow direction control.
• Inlets with Capacity Control: Ensures smooth grain flow at different points along the conveyor.
• Double Bottom Extensions: Allows for flexible installation of inlets along the conveyor, independent of outlets.
• Range of Inlets: Compatible with various standard pipe diameters.
• Capacity Control Side Inlets: Adjustable flap system for control of conveying capacity.
• Rain Cover: Protects the bevel gear motor from harsh weather conditions.
• Open bottom extensions: For discharge continuously of grainalong the conveyor bottom.
• Position switch for manual andpneumaticoperated intermediate outlets.

KCA Chain Conveyors for Horizontal and Inclined Conveying

The KCA chain conveyors are engineered to handle both horizontal and inclined grain conveying, with inclinations of up to 45 degrees. This makes them ideal for installations, such as in grain intake pits, where vertical lift is beneficial to avoid deep underground construction. The KCA conveyors support capacities ranging from 30 to 120 tonnes per hour and are designed for use in outdoor environments.

Benefits of KCA Chain Conveyors:

• Standard Extension Modules: Easily customizable with a wide range of extension modules to suit different conveying lengths and capacities.
• Standard Extensions with side inlet: A wide range of extensions with side inlet available, making it possible to make as example large holding capacity pit with out going deep in the ground.
• Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel: Provides superior weather resistance for outdoor installations.
• Low Noise Operation: PEHD flights on the conveyor chain minimize noise levels, ensuring a quieter operation.
• Versatile Configuration: Suitable for conveying grain over distances of up to 50 meters, depending on capacity and layout.
• Angle Sections: Available in 30° and 45° for changes in vertical direction of conveying.

Accessories for KCA Chain Conveyors

• Angle Sections: 30° and 45° angle sections for changes between horizontal and inclined conveying.
• Chain Tensioner: Chain tensioning at drive end or return end ensures optimal chain tension, efficient operation and easy maintenance. (Up to 80t/h)
• Range of Inlets and Outlets: Provides flexibility to accommodate various intake and discharge needs.
• Intermediate Outlets: Available with manual or motorized options for easier grain flow control.
• Rain Cover: Protects the motor and gear drive in outdoor environments.
