> You can also email us or contact us via WhatsApp. Our engineers will get back to you within 24 hours.
Q2: What is the difference between screw conveyors and chain conveyors? Which one should I choose?
> Both types have different applications:
> – Screw Conveyors: Best for powdery and small-grain materials (e.g., fly ash, cement powder). Good sealing performance, simple structure, low maintenance cost.
> – Chain Scraper Conveyors: Best for bulky, highly abrasive materials (e.g., bottom ash, municipal solid waste, biomass fragments). Supports multiple inlet and outlet points.
> – Bucket Elevators: Ideal for vertical or steep-incline material lifting.
> If you are not sure, tell us your material and working conditions, and our engineers will help you choose.
Q3: Can your equipment handle high-temperature materials? What is the maximum temperature?
> We can customize equipment according to material temperature:
> – Standard type: 0~80°C, carbon steel
> – Medium temperature type: 80~200°C, thickened wear-resistant liner
> – High temperature type: 200~400°C, special heat-resistant steel, optional cooling jacket
> Please tell us your material temperature, and we will recommend the most suitable material solution.
Q4: Are there any limits on conveying distance and lifting height?
> Standard design range:
> – Screw conveyor: Single section up to 70 meters; multiple sections can be connected for longer distances
> – Chain conveyor: Single machine up to 60 meters
> – Bucket elevator: Lifting height up to 50 meters
> We can also customize for extra-long distances or special angles. Contact us for detailed solutions.
Q5: Do you provide explosion-proof design?
> Yes. For explosive and flammable conditions such as pulverized coal and biomass dust, we offer:
> – Explosion-proof motors (Ex d IIB T4 standard)
> – Reserved openings for explosion vents / rupture discs
> – Fully sealed structure to prevent dust leakage
> Please specify your explosion-proof rating requirements.
CUSTOMIZATION & MANUFACTURING
Q6: Do you support customization? What is the lead time?
> Over 90% of our equipment is customized according to customer working conditions. Standard models take about 90–120days. Special customizations take 120–180 days, depending on configuration complexity.
Q7: What material options do you offer?

| Incline Angle (°) | Affects capacity and design | 0° horizontal, 30° incline |
| Material Temperature (°C) | Determines material grade | Ambient, 150°C, 300°C |
| Moisture Content (%) | Affects discharge design | Dry, damp, wet (needs dewatering) |
| Abrasiveness | Determines liner thickness | Low, medium, high |
| Application Industry | Determines certification needs | Power plant, cement, mining, recycling |
Step 3: Choose Configuration Options
Based on your answers above, our engineers will recommend:
Material grade — carbon steel / wear-resistant steel / stainless steel
