The Role of the Chain Conveyor in the AAC Block Production Process:

Transports heavy or large AAC blocks or materials over longer distances, especially in post-production stages like autoclaving and packaging. It is used for moving blocks between processes efficiently.
Process It Belongs To: Post-curing and Material Handling process, particularly during block transportation from the autoclave to the storage or packaging area.
Related Equipment Before:

  • Autoclave – used to cure aerated concrete blocks under high pressure and elevated temperature.
  • De-stacker or Grabber – for removing cured blocks from the autoclave and preparing them for transportation.

Related Equipment After:

  • Cutting Machine or Packaging Machine – for cutting the blocks into specific sizes and preparing them for dispatch.
  • Palletizing System – for stacking and securing the blocks onto pallets for shipping.

Structure

The chain conveyor system is mainly composed of a reducer, sprocket assembly 1, sprocket assembly 2, bracket, chain, wooden pallet, etc. The bracket is composed of rectangular steel pipes, steel plates, etc.
