ERTONG MAKE

Overview The Serpentine Chain Bucket Conveyor revolutionizes vertical and planar material handling with its unique ability to bend freely within a single horizontal plane. Designed for spatially constrained and environmentally sensitive operations, this system combines Z-shaped elevation with serpentine routing, eliminating the need for multiple conveyors. Available in Pressure-Resistant (explosion-proof) and Hermetic (gas-tight) configurations, it serves industries requiring precision containment, such as battery material processing, pharmaceutical compounding, and hazardous chemical logistics. Key Features

1. Planar Flexibility
   • Minimum bending radius: 2× bucket width, enabling 360° loops or S-curves.
   • Modular design supports dynamic layout changes without disassembly.
2. Dual Containment Modes
   • Pressure-Resistant: Maintains 0.3–2.0 bar internal pressure (N₂/Ar purge) for combustible powders.
   • Hermetic: Leakage rate <0.003 vol% (ISO 10648-2 Class 1 validated).
3. Extreme Environment Resilience
   • Operational range: -40°C to +250°C (high-temperature chains available for +600°C).
   • Resists 95% RH, pH 0.5–13.5, and explosive dust atmospheres (Kst ≤300 bar·m/s).
