HDPE conveyor chain TCZ 40

Overview
The TCZ Z-shaped chain conveyor by Silos Córdoba is a modular chain conveying solution designed to combine horizontal, inclined and descending sections to meet site constraints and overcome obstacles. It adapts the TCI chain conveyor concept with purpose-designed Z sections to reduce civil engineering works and increase installation flexibility.

Industrial range (related conveyors)

• Bucket elevator
• Belt conveyor
• Chain conveyor
• Z-shaped chain conveyor
• Screw conveyor
• Sweep augers

Key advantages

• Reduces civil engineering costs by optimising or eliminating pits and other site works.
• Combines horizontal, inclined and descending sections to negotiate obstacles and elevation changes.
• Can be installed as a vent/receiving conveyor to align levels without a pit.

Applications

• Application 01: Optimising or removing civil engineering tasks to lower installation costs by connecting a receiving conveyor to an elevator without a pit.
• Application 02: Level adjustments from horizontal to inclined conveyor sections for smooth transitions.
• Application 03: Multi-stage level changes (horizontal → inclined → horizontal) to pass elevation differences and return to horizontal orientation.
• Application 04: Reverse level adjustments (start inclined then transition to horizontal) to bypass obstacles while maintaining horizontal transport.

Design features

• Ascending section unit: facilitates directional changes and various slope configurations.
• Descending section unit: enables horizontal movement and adapts to different slope angles.
• Inner skid guide: guides the chain during directional changes in ascending sections to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear.
• Anti-wear guides: upper and lower guide sections manufactured in HDPE 100 to minimise wear on chain contact surfaces.
• Modular section combination: enables tailored layouts to fit site constraints and obstacles.
