Overview
The Apron Conveyor System is a versatile heavy-duty solution for transporting abrasive, hot, or irregularly shaped materials across industrial operations. Available in
Light,
Medium, and
Heavy load classes with optional
Pressure-Resistant or
Hermetic sealing configurations, it excels in steelmaking, foundries, automotive manufacturing, and bulk material processing. Engineered to GB/T standards, this system balances durability with precision for demanding applications.
Key Features
- Triple Load Capacity
- Light Duty: Up to 500 kg/m² (e.g., packaged goods, small castings).
- Medium Duty: 500–2,000 kg/m² (e.g., engine blocks, scrap metal).
- Heavy Duty: 2,000–10,000 kg/m² (e.g., steel slabs, mining ore).
- Sealing Versatility
- Pressure-Resistant: Withstands 0.5–3.0 bar internal pressure (explosion-proof/ATEX-certified).
- Hermetic: IP69K sealing with <0.01% leakage rate for toxic/volatile substances.
- High-Temperature Resilience
- Standard operation: -30°C to +400°C (ceramic-coated plates available for +1,200°C).
