The initial stage of material extraction subjects equipment to the harshest conditions, including large lump sizes, extreme abrasion, and high impact. For this critical phase, we provide robust and reliable Heavy-Duty Belt Conveyors as the primary workhorses. Their Steel Cord (ST) Belting is engineered for long-distance, high-capacity conveying. Simultaneously, our TH Series and TD Series Bucket Elevators efficiently handle the vertical lifting of raw materials. For transferring smaller post-crushed particles, our LS Type and GL Series Tubular Screw Conveyors ensure steady and controlled feeding. This complete system is built to withstand the demanding environments of mines and quarries, delivering high reliability for your primary material handling needs.
In-plant process conveying demands equipment that is precise, enclosed, and adaptable to specific material characteristics. For powders and fine granules like raw meal or pulverized coal, our U-Type Screw Conveyors, Air Slide Conveyors, and Tubular Screw Conveyors are ideal choices, enabling zero-dust-leakage, explosion-proof conveying. For handling high-temperature or highly abrasive materials such as clinker or finished products, our NE Series and HL Series Bucket Elevators along with Chain Conveyors demonstrate exceptional heat and wear resistance. In process stages requiring precise batching or dosing, our Twin-Shaft Screw Conveyors effectively prevent material bridging, ensuring uniform feed. Our equipment guarantees smooth, accurate, and safe material transfer between all process stages.
At the storage and dispatch terminal, efficiency and cleanliness are paramount. For silo bottom or side discharge, our LS Type and U-Type Screw Conveyors are reliable solutions to prevent clogging and achieve controlled discharge. In bulk truck/railcar/ship loading operations, a combination of Mobile Belt Conveyors and Bucket Elevators can build flexible and highly efficient automated loading systems, significantly boosting dispatch speed. Meanwhile, Air Slide Conveyors play an irreplaceable role in cement silo homogenization and inter-silo transfer. We focus on solving common pain points like poor discharge, dust emission, and slow loading rates, providing you with clean, efficient, and integrated conveying solutions from silo to transport.
Different industries have vastly different requirements for material conveying within their production processes. Whether it’s the high temperature and dust in cement plants, the extreme abrasion and heavy loads in mining, or the stringent hygiene and safety standards in grain and feed mills, choosing professional conveying equipment is key to ensuring efficiency, safety, and cost control.

In addition to the key industries highlighted above, our conveying equipment and systems are widely applied across numerous other sectors, including power generation, chemical processing, metallurgy, ports & terminals, building materials, and environmental recycling. Whether you are handling fly ash, chemical raw materials, metal ores, recycled pellets, or other specialized materials, we possess the technology and experience to provide tailored conveying solutions.
Q1: What are the differences between a Belt Conveyor, a Screw Conveyor, and a Bucket Elevator? How do I choose?
A: These are three fundamental types of industrial conveying equipment. Selecting the right one depends on your material and process:
-
Belt Conveyors excel at horizontal or low-incline, long-distance transport of bulk materials like sand, ore, or coal, offering high capacity with low energy use.
-
Screw Conveyors are ideal for enclosed, short-distance conveying of powders, granules, or small lumps, such as cement or grain, perfect for applications requiring dust containment.
-
Bucket Elevators are specialized for vertical or steeply inclined lifting of materials like grain, fertilizer, or clinker, solving space constraints efficiently.
The choice hinges on your material’s size, moisture, and abrasiveness, along with required capacity, distance, and any specific needs like dust-tight or explosion-proof design.
Q2: In which industries are Bucket Elevators most commonly used? What should be considered during selection?
A: Bucket Elevators are workhorses in industries requiring efficient vertical transport, such as cement plants for raw meal and cement, grain and feed mills, mining operations, and chemical processing plants.
For selection, key considerations include: the material type (powders suit NE-type centrifugal models, while lumps need TH/TD gravity-discharge types), the required lift height and capacity, and the operating environment where features like explosion-proof construction may be critical.
Q3: How can I reduce the maintenance costs and extend the service life of a Belt Conveyor?
A: Proactive maintenance is key to maximizing belt conveyor life and minimizing costs. Focus on preventing belt misalignment through regular checks of idlers and pulleys. Invest in a high-quality, abrasion-resistant conveyor belt and ensure proper splicing. Implement a routine schedule for lubricating bearings and cleaning off material buildup to prevent component wear. Adding basic monitoring for issues like misalignment or overload can prevent small problems from causing major downtime, significantly extending your system’s operational life.
Q4: What are the advantages and disadvantages of an Air Slide Conveyor? What materials is it suitable for?
A: The Air Slide Conveyor offers unique benefits and limitations. Its main advantages are extremely low maintenance due to having no moving parts, silent and smooth operation, and low energy consumption. The primary disadvantages are that it only works with very dry, fine powders that can be fluidized by air and it requires a compressed air supply. It is perfectly suited for handling free-flowing, dry powders like cement, fly ash, or flour in applications such as silo homogenization or between process stages in a plant.
Q5: How do I design or select the right conveying system for my production line?
A: Designing an optimal conveying system requires a holistic approach. Start by thoroughly analyzing your material properties—size, density, moisture, and flow characteristics. Next, define your process goals: capacity, distance, lift height, and layout constraints. Finally, consider any environmental or safety requirements, such as dust control, washdown needs, or explosion hazards. The most effective path is to consult with our engineering team. By sharing your specific parameters, we can provide a tailored solution that ensures reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for your operation.
