SKS Apron Chain Conveyors: Corrosion-Resistant Ash Handling Solutions

1. Product Overview

The SKS Apron Chain Conveyor is a specialized system featuring a watertight housing, providing the optimal solution for transporting ash and slag at waste treatment centers and thermal power plants. The key differentiator is the specialized SKS Apron Chain system, which ensures stable operation in environments with high chemical corrosion and high humidity.

2. Superior Technical Features

• Absolute Watertight Housing: Prevents the leakage of liquids and odors into the surrounding environment, which is particularly effective when handling wet ash after the quenching process.

• Heavy-Duty SKS Apron Chain: Utilizes a high-strength apron chain system manufactured from wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring a long service life in harsh chemical environments.

• Versatile Conveying: Designed to flexibly handle both dry and wet materials, ensuring no sticking, clogging, or buildup occurs during transport.

• Robust Construction: The machine structure is simplified yet extremely sturdy, drawing on SKS’s decades of field experience in the power transmission and conveyor industry.

• Reduced Operating Costs: Thanks to its superior corrosion resistance, the conveyor significantly minimizes the costs associated with periodic repairs and component replacements.

3. Applications & Handled Materials

SKS Apron Chain Conveyors are the premier choice for transporting raw and aggressive materials:

• Waste-to-Energy: Bottom ash from municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators, wood ash, and post-combustion metal scrap.

• Power Generation: Bottom ash from coal combustion and molten slag.

• Recycling Industry: Transporting materials with high moisture content or those containing corrosive chemicals.

4. Why Choose the SKS Apron Chain System?

Unlike conventional conveyors, SKS apron chains are engineered to withstand heavy impacts from large slag chunks and metal fragments. The combination of a watertight casing and wear-resistant chain links creates a closed, clean, and safe system tailored for modern waste treatment facilities.
