Equipment introduction：
The chain - plate box feeder is a material conveying equipment used in the clay sintered brick industry. It mainly consists of a head frame, a head cover, a driving sprocket group, a material conveying device, a middle frame, a tail frame, a reversing sprocket group, a chain - plate supporting wheel group and a driving device. Its working principle is that the driving device transmits power to the driving sprocket to drive the two plate chains surrounding the driving sprocket and the reversing sprocket to run. The chain plates are connected with the plate chains, and the materials are placed on the chain plates. With the movement of the chain plates, the horizontal or inclined transportation of materials is realized. In the production of clay sintered bricks, it is usually used to evenly and quantitatively convey raw materials such as clay from the storage bin to the subsequent processing equipment, such as mixers and molding machines.
This equipment is mainly used for quantitative feeding of hard raw materials before or after crushing, it is equipped with hardened face gear reducer, and a gate at exit to generally control the uniformity of feeding amount.

Equipment Specification：

Features:
1. Adapt to a variety of materials: Except for materials with particularly high viscosity and temperature, general solid materials and finished products can be transported by it. It has good adaptability to clay raw materials with different particle sizes and humidities in the clay sintered brick industry.
2. Large conveying capacity: The chain - plate structure is firm and can bear a large material weight. The production capacity is high, which can meet the raw material supply demand of large - scale clay sintered brick production.
3. High - strength traction chain: It can realize long - distance transportation, reduce the intermediate transfer links, improve the transportation efficiency, and also reduce the probability of equipment failure.
4. Flexible layout of conveying lines: Compared with belt conveyors, it can transport materials under conditions of larger inclination angles and smaller bending radii. It is easy to be arranged in a complex production workshop, and the conveying line can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the technological process.
5. Long service life: The chain plates and traction chains are usually made of wear - resistant materials, which have strong wear - resistance and corrosion - resistance. They can operate stably for a long time in harsh working environments, reducing the equipment maintenance cost and replacement frequency.

Functions:
1. Uniform feeding: It can accurately control the feeding amount of raw materials such as clay, ensuring a stable and uniform material supply for the subsequent processing equipment, which helps to improve the quality stability and consistency of clay sintered bricks.
2. Quantitative blending: During the feeding process, according to the requirements of the production process, the clay material and the internal combustion material can be proportionally blended to make the raw materials more evenly mixed and optimize the performance of the sintered bricks.
3. Material transportation: It transports the raw materials from the storage bin to the subsequent processing equipment, realizes the continuous transmission of materials on the production line, connects different production links, and improves the degree of automation and production efficiency of the entire production process.

Improtance in the Process Flow:
1. Stabilize the production rhythm: As a front - end equipment in the production process of clay sintered bricks, the chain - plate box feeder can ensure the stable and uniform feeding, which enables the subsequent equipment such as mixers and molding machines to operate according to the set production rhythm. It avoids problems such as equipment idling and product quality fluctuations caused by insufficient or uneven feeding, and helps to maintain the continuity and stability of the entire production process.
2. Ensure product quality: By accurately controlling the feeding amount and achieving uniform blending of raw materials, it provides raw materials with stable quality for the subsequent processing links. This is crucial for producing clay sintered bricks with high - dimensional accuracy and consistent performance, and is one of the key factors to ensure product quality.
3. Improve production efficiency: The efficient material transportation and accurate feeding control reduce the production interruption and equipment adjustment time caused by feeding problems, improve the equipment utilization rate, and thus enhance the efficiency of the entire production process of clay sintered bricks.
The sprockets of the chain - plate box feeder usually adopt an assembled structure, which is convenient for disassembly and installation, and makes the maintenance and replacement of components more convenient. The driving sprocket generally adopts a socket - eye sprocket ring, which can effectively prevent the sliding of the ring chain during operation and ensure the accuracy and stability of the transmission. In addition, the equipment can be customized according to different production needs, such as changing the size and shape of the chain plates, adjusting the conveying speed, etc., to better meet the requirements of various clay sintered brick production processes.
