Submerged Scraper Chain Conveyor for Power Generation

A submerged scraper chain conveyor (SSCC) is a critical component in the handling of ash in power generation plants. This system is designed to efficiently manage the removal of ash from coal-fired boilers, a necessary process for maintaining the operational efficiency and environmental compliance of power plants. The structure of an SSCC is relatively straightforward yet highly effective. It typically consists of a lower trough filled with water, where ash falls from the boiler. A continuous chain scraper system, submerged in this water-filled trough, moves the ash along the conveyor path to a removal point. The water not only facilitates the movement of ash but also helps suppress dust and reduce the temperature of the hot ash, ensuring safety and minimizing environmental impact. One of the key advantages of using a submerged scraper chain conveyor is its ability to handle high-capacity loads of ash while maintaining low energy consumption and operational costs. Moreover, the SSCC…
