Trough Conveyors
Tailor-made to suit individual brewing needs and conditions.
Künzel chain / trough conveyors are used for horizontal transportation of grain over long distances, and can be made bespoke to suit varying production processes and environments.
The conveyors are available in several standard dimensions for a wide capacity range or can be individually designed and manufactured as special versions for many different applications and conveying capacities.
They can be equipped with several outlets depending on the application. Outlet slides are operated manually, pneumatically or electrically. If the chain conveyor is used with multiple inlets, a double bottom ensures smooth operation
Our chain / trough conveyors are robust and of high serviceability. There is a choice between the normal steel version with painted or galvanised surface and a stainless steel version. The cleaning equipment extensively avoids any mixing of materials caused by residues during the product change.
