Chain Conveyor
Ottevanger Chain Conveyors provide reliable horizontal and slight incline transport of bulk materials over long distances. A fully enclosed coated S235 steel trough, wear components, and positive chain tensioning ensure stable throughput and long service life. Capacity is up to 400 m³/h, with multiple widths and speeds to match your layout and product.

Design & Operation
General
Built for uptime, the conveyor uses a welded, fully clad trough to contain material and reduce dust. A gearmotor drive with flexible coupling transmits power smoothly. HPME wear plates and C45 guide strips protect high-wear areas, while an overflow valve and chain tensioner safeguard operation. Optional intermediate outlets and recirculation arrangements provide flexible routing and controlled discharge throughout the plant.
Typical operation: 0.3–0.5 m/s conveying speed; widths and pitches selected to meet the required capacity and footprint.
Standard features: S235 steel trough (fully enclosed); primer + paint finish; geared drive units; flexible coupling; HPME wear plate; guide strips (C45); overflow valve; chain tensioner.
Performance & Applications
Overview
Key benefits
Discover the key benefits of the chain conveyors.
- Robust & reliable — heavy-gauge, enclosed trough stands up to abrasive duty.
- Clean & safe — dust-tight casing and protective hoods help keep the work area clean.
- Wear-resistant flow path — HPME wear plates and C45 guides extend service life.
- Process protection — overflow valve and positive chain tensioning reduce jams and slip.
- Controlled discharge — intermediate outlets and inlet slide rails enable accurate flow to downstream steps.
- Flexible execution — stainless (AISI 304), galvanized, and all-weather options for outdoor installs.
- Safety & compliance — ATEX Zone 22 drive options for combustible dust areas.
- Right-sized — multiple chain widths and speeds to achieve the target throughput.
Available executions
All machines can be customized. The machines can be carried out in stainless and be delivered with ATEX 22 components, special internal coatings, a powerful drive and other options.

FAQ
Capacities up to 400 m³/h, depending on chain width and speed (typically 0.3–0.5 m/s; up to 0.6 m/s where appropriate).
Yes — select galvanized or stainless execution and all-weather kits (motor housings, covers).
Yes — ATEX Zone 22 drive units and associated components are available for combustible-dust areas.
Use intermediate outlets, inlet flow regulation slides, or a recirculation head when bypassing downstream steps.
The conveying path is protected by HPME wear plates and C45 guide strips to reduce wear and extend service intervals.
