In industries where continuous movement of loose, granular or dusty materials is required, a scraper conveyor plays a key role. This type of conveyor has gained great popularity due to its simple design, reliability and ability to work in difficult conditions. Regardless of the field of application - mining, agricultural or woodworking - scraper systems ensure stable operation of production lines.
ELCONOR is one of the leading Ukrainian manufacturers of scraper conveyors and offers a wide range of equipment that meets modern efficiency and safety requirements. Thanks to an individual approach to each client, ELCONOR specialists create solutions that are ideally adapted to a specific production process.
Advantages of scraper conveyors in industry
A scraper conveyor is a mechanism designed for horizontal or inclined transport of materials using moving chains with attached scrapers. The main advantage of such a system is the ability to move large quantities of material with minimal waste and dust generation.
Among the main advantages of scraper conveyors, the following can be distinguished:
- Sealed design. All components are enclosed, which prevents environmental contamination and material loss.
- Minimal operating costs. Conveyors do not require frequent maintenance, and wear and tear on parts is minimal when operated properly.
- Ability to operate in explosive or aggressive environments. Thanks to durable materials and precise engineering calculations, the equipment can be operated even in the most difficult conditions.
- Flexibility in installation. Systems can be installed in a horizontal, vertical or inclined position, which allows for efficient organization of production space.
Due to these characteristics, scraper conveyors are increasingly used not only in traditional industrial sectors, but also in modern enterprises with automated lines.

Applications of scraper conveyors: industry overview
The scope of application of scraper systems is extremely wide. The most common are the following areas:
- Agricultural industry. For moving grain, compound feed, meal, husks, etc. Systems with sealed housings minimize material loss.
- Mining industry. Transportation of coal, ore, clay and other heavy bulk materials.
- Food industry. Moving sugar, flour, salt, spices and other finely dispersed products that require careful handling.
- Woodworking. Removal of sawdust, shavings, bark and other production waste.
For each of these industries, ELCONOR offers optimal solutions that allow achieving high efficiency with low energy consumption.
Design features of scraper systems
A typical scraper conveyor consists of the following main elements:
- Housing. A metal structure that covers the entire mechanism and ensures tightness.
- Chain or traction element. Used to move scrapers. Often used is a roller or bushing-roller chain.
- Scrapers. Plates attached to a chain that move material along the chute.
- Drive. A gear motor that provides chain rotation.
- Guides and supports. Parts that ensure uniform movement and reduce wear on the structure.
Depending on production needs, conveyors can be equipped with additional functions: loading sensors, automatic stop systems, overload protection, etc.
Equipment selection and ordering
When choosing a scraper conveyor, it is important to consider the following factors:
- Type of material and its abrasiveness
- Length and configuration of the conveying line
- Engine power and throughput
- Operating conditions (temperature, humidity, dustiness)
