Chain Conveyor

PSSILO Chain Conveyors are designed for reliable horizontal transportation of grain and bulk materials, particularly for silo filling and discharge applications.

Available in capacities from 25 to 1200 tons/hour, the conveyors provide controlled product movement while helping minimize grain damage during transportation.

Their robust galvanized steel construction makes them suitable for continuous operation within grain storage and handling facilities.

HIGH-CAPACITY & CONTROLLED GRAIN HANDLING

Chain Conveyors provide an efficient solution for transferring grain between intake systems, silos, bucket elevators and other handling equipment.

The conveying system is designed to move grain in a controlled manner, helping reduce unnecessary mechanical impact on the product during silo filling and discharge operations.

With capacities ranging from 25 to 800 tons/hour, the system can be configured according to the required material flow of the facility.

DURABLE GALVANIZED CONSTRUCTION

PSSILO Chain Conveyors are manufactured from galvanized steel to provide durability and corrosion protection in demanding grain handling environments.

The conveyor consists of three main structural sections:

• Head section
• Tail section
• Conveyor casing

These components are assembled using bolts and bolt-pin connections, providing a strong and practical modular construction.

The galvanized structure also supports long-term operation while helping reduce maintenance requirements.

PROJECT-SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION

Each Chain Conveyor is configured according to the operating requirements of the project.

Parameters such as:

• Required conveying capacity
• Conveying distance
• Transported product
• Product bulk density
• Loading and discharge points
• Silo configuration
• Connected equipment
• Operating conditions

are evaluated when determining the appropriate conveyor configuration.

SILO FILLING & DISCHARGE

Chain Conveyors can form an important part of both silo filling and discharge systems.

During filling, the conveyor can transfer grain from the intake or vertical conveying system toward the selected silo.

During discharge, it can collect and transfer grain from the silo toward downstream conveying, loading or processing equipment.

This allows the conveyor to operate as part of the complete material flow of the storage facility.

AUTOMATION & OPERATIONAL CONTROL

PSSILO Chain Conveyors can be integrated with PLC & SCADA automation systems according to project requirements.

The conveyor can operate in coordination with bucket elevators, gates, distributors, silos and other handling equipment according to the selected material route.

Monitoring and interlocking functions can also be integrated according to the automation requirements of the project, helping maintain the correct operating sequence throughout the conveying system.

COMPLETE SYSTEM INTEGRATION

PSSILO Chain Conveyors can be integrated with:

• Grain intake systems
• Bucket elevators
• Belt conveyors
• Screw conveyors
• Distributors and gates
• Grain cleaning equipment
• Storage silos
• Loading and discharge systems
• Dust collection and aspiration systems

This allows horizontal conveying to be engineered as part of a complete grain storage and material handling system.

WHY PSSILO?

PSSILO designs Chain Conveyors as part of the complete grain storage and handling process rather than as isolated conveying equipment.

Conveying capacity, distance, product characteristics, silo arrangement, loading and discharge points, connected equipment and automation requirements are evaluated together.

With capacities from 25 to 1200 tons/hour, durable galvanized construction and project-specific system integration, PSSILO Chain Conveyors provide a reliable solution for silo filling, discharge and grain transfer applications.
