Scraper Conveyor
Reliable material handling for industrial processes
Scraper conveyors from KÖBO ECO>PROCESS transport short, free-flowing metal chips, sludge, small parts, and dry or wet bulk materials. Chain-driven scrapers move the material in a controlled manner through the conveyor channel to the discharge point. The design, conveying route, and drive are tailored to the material, required throughput, and installation conditions.

Overview
Scraper conveyors for short chips, sludge and bulk materials
Scraper conveyors, also known as scraper belt conveyors, are particularly well-suited for short and broken chips, grinding sludge, small parts, and other free-flowing materials. They can be used both at individual machine tools and in integrated or centralized conveyor systems.
The enclosed design facilitates controlled material transport and reduces the escape of conveyed material and contaminants into the production environment. Thanks to their customizable design, scraper conveyors can be adapted to different conveying distances, inclines, and spatial conditions.
Functionality
How does a scraper conveyor work?
Two parallel conveyor chains are connected at regular intervals by scraper bars. These move the material along the floor in the lower section of the conveyor channel to the designated discharge point.
Depending on the model, liquid adhering to the material may drain off during transport and be collected separately or fed into downstream systems. This is particularly advantageous when transporting wet chips or chips coated with cooling lubricant.
Areas of the conveyor channel subject to wear can be equipped with replaceable wear plates. Depending on the material being conveyed, the load, and the system design, different conveyor chains and scraper configurations are used.
Technical Data
Technical specifications of the scraper conveyor
Scraper conveyors from KÖBO ECO>PROCESS are tailored to the material being conveyed, the required throughput, the conveying distance, and the existing installation conditions. They can be used as stand-alone conveyors or as part of a linked or centralized conveying system.

250 to 1,200 mm
Length [m]
up to 100 m per conveyor
Inclination angle
Horizontal or inclined; 15° to 60° depending on the design, with steeper inclines possible for specific projects.
Drive
Shaft-mounted gearmotor, tailored to the material being conveyed, conveying capacity, and route configuration
Mounting types
Floor or ceiling mounting, as well as integration into new or existing systems
Advantages of a scraper conveyor
Rugged construction for industrial applications
Scraper conveyors are designed for the continuous transport of challenging materials. Areas subject to wear can be protected with replaceable wear plates.
Custom design
Conveyor width, length, incline, speed, scraper configuration, chain design, and material selection are tailored to the specific conveying application.
Suitable for dry and wet machining
Depending on the design, both dry chips and chips or sludge containing coolant can be transported.
Controlled material transport
The largely enclosed conveyor channel reduces the uncontrolled spillage of material and helps ensure a clean process.
Integration into various plant designs
Scraper conveyors can be connected to individual machines, groups of machines, central waste disposal systems, and upstream and downstream equipment.
Maintenance-friendly design
Components that are easily accessible and replaceable wear parts make inspection, maintenance, and repair easier.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About the Scraper Conveyor
What is a scraper conveyor?
A scraper conveyor is a conveying system designed for the safe and efficient transport of metal chips, scrap, and other bulk materials. The material is pushed along the lower section of the conveyor channel (lower run) to the discharge point by two parallel chain strands equipped with scrapers (scraper plates).
What materials can a scraper conveyor transport?
Free-flowing short chips, sludge, dirt, broken glass, wood chips, molding sand, as well as dry or wet materials (including those containing large amounts of cooling lubricant) and other bulk materials or chemically aggressive materials.
What are the available usable widths and lengths?
The effective width ranges from 250 to 1,200 mm, and the length can be up to 100 m. The housing cross-sections are standardized and can be customized.
What angles of inclination are feasible?
Scraper conveyors can be installed horizontally or at an incline—with angles of 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and beyond; custom angles and steeper inclines are also available upon request.
In which industries are scraper conveyors used?
Particularly in the recycling, metalworking, and chemical industries. Thanks to their enclosed design, they are also suitable for dust-sensitive and demanding environments.
How are scraper conveyors installed?
Available for either floor or ceiling mounting—ideal for integration into existing systems. It can be operated as a single conveyor or as part of a linked conveyor line.
