Otsikko? Sprocket wheel with teeth driven chain Drive wheel with adjustable pitch for Notched-link chain
Otsikko? Sprocket wheel with teeth driven chain Drive wheel with adjustable pitch for Notched-link chain PIN wears the bushing from inside DRIVE SPROCKET wears bushing from the outside IDLER WHEEL wears bushing from outside DRIVE WHEEL’S PULLING PIN wears the chain notch PIN wears bushing from the inside IDLER WHEEL wears the minimum of the chain’s bottom surface • Bushing wears quickly • Breaking strength of the chain in proportion to wear rate • Longer lifetime for bushing • High breaking strength of the chain maintains longer

Notched-link chains for rectancular tanks HA205M HA200M HA44M • Chain for small to medium tanks • Chain for medium to large tanks • Drive chain • Chain for small tanks with limited operation space
Drive wheel with adjustable pitch • The mutual distance of pins increases by relocating them by the same number of slots towards A • Perfect match between chain and wheel within operational lifetime • Always several (4-5) pins pulling the chain • Minimizing the wear of the chain
Comparison of working load with NEW chains: Sprocket wheel with teeth driven chain Drive wheel with adjustable pitch for Notched-link chain • The workign load is divided between several pulling teeth/pins and chain links
Comparison of working load with USED chains: Sprocket wheel with teeth driven chain Drive wheel with adjustable pitch for Notched-link chain • Entire work load pulled by one tooth mainly • Other teeth have lost the pullign contact with the chain • The pitch of the pulling pins have been adjusted perfectly to match with worn and elongated chain • The workign load is divided between several pullign pins and cahin links
Lifetime comparison Wear • Finnchain HA-chains with variable pitch drive wheel • Traditional chains with sprocket wheel

Attachment of scraper flight Competing system Finnchain system • Flight attached to the attachment link • High pulling line ->vibration • The wider tank, the higher flight makes the problem worser • Flight attached to the patented flight end connector • Pulling line in the middle of the flight
Torsion test for scraper flight Traditional system Finnchain system • Flight type NLC-145 • Open sigma profile • Torsion • Flight type FC-190 • Closed hollow profile • No torsion
Problem: Chain skippingSolution: Chain watch • If the system meets rapid and heavy increase of the workload that jamms the movement of the system, normally the plastic chain lifts off from the pulling pin or sprocket’s teeth • Without any safety devices the chain skipping could cause damages such as: • The flights do get misaligned and will drop off from the return rails • The chain can broke • Flights and flight end connectors can broke • Afterwards the system is a long time non-usable because of extensive and expensive repair
Problem: Chain skippingSolution: Chain watch • The chain watch is installed above sprocket and it mechanically prevents chain skipping • The movement of the lever on top of the chain activates the inductive switch at desired over load and stops the motor immediately, also alarm signal can be activated • The chain watch stops the system before any damage can happend
Idler wheel • Teethless, does not wear the chain • Installation with retaining rings, easy to install and replace • FC-1P/76 with 76,1 mm hub bore for small to medium tanks • FC-1P/80 with 80mm hub bore from big tanks
Idler wheel shaft • Can be installed/positioned close to the end wall turning • Sludge can be collected away from the corners • Axial adjustment to ease installation
Drive shaft • Drive shaft is made of AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel • Shaft diameter 80 mm
Drive shaft Bearing • Self aligning bearing • Self adjusting • Water lubricated • Long lifetime because of wide bearing area
Bottom rail • Bottom rail FC-122, ease to install and replace • Two types: smooth and with guiding track • Connected to eachother with attachment piece • Attachment piece is well anchored to tank floor • Thermal expansion is allowed
Drive unit • SEW-Eurodrive 0,18-0,55 kW, power depends on tank dimensions • Integrated motor and gear box – one package • Standard speed of system is 1,2 m/min • Customized speed with inverter or specified gear box
Electrical wiring diagram • Standard motor 3-phase, supply 380-415V 50Hz • Inductive switch of the chain watch, supply 24V DC – left and right sides • Options available by request
