A double-chain conveyor is assembled of trough sections defining a bottom plate provided with lateral guiding walls for scraper elements and intermediate guides extending along the entire length of the conveyor and guidingly engaging lateral edges of flat chain elements arranged parallel to the bottom plate of the trough. The flat chain elements are provided with oblong holes extending in the direction of the chain and linking vertically directed ring-shaped chain elements with a play which permits shifting movements of all chain elements in the longitudinal direction. Intermediate drives are provided between superposed bottom plates of the trough and drive a chain wheel engaging the flat chain elements both in the upper and in the lower flight of the conveying chain.

Scraper chain conveyor

A crushing-machine housing accommodates a rotating crushing roller whose periphery travels in the same direction as the conveyor which feeds material through the crushing machine, the clearance between the crushing roller and such conveyor determining the maximum volumetric rate at which material can be fed through the machine. The crushing roller is of crankshaft-like configuration, having a crank pin carrying crushing implements located far from the crushing-roller rotation axis, to either side of the crank pin a respective crank web whose center of gravity is eccentric with respect to the crushing-roller rotation axis, and to either side of the crank webs a respective crank journal rotatably mounted on the machine housing. The crank webs of the crankshaft-like crushing roller carry crushing implements located on the side of the roller rotation axis diametrally opposite to the crank-pin tool-carrying part of the crushing roller. When the volumetric throughput of goods is to be changed, there is no need to stop the machine and raise its housing to create a greater clearance between the crushing roller and the conveyor, as in prior art.
