Technical precision in grain handling: CESCO EPC Chain Conveyors. Self-cleaning design for contamination-free operation.

Modern grain terminals require handling systems that balance massive throughput with strict hygiene standards. We engineer the CESCO EPC Chain Conveyor \(CC\) series to serve as the operational backbone of high-volume facilities, delivering capacities up to 1.400 t/h.

✔️High-Capacity Performance
Our CC900 model achieves a maximum capacity of 1.400 t/h at a chain speed of 0.80 m/s, utilizing a robust 2xM315 chain type according to DIN8167 standards. The drive unit features a double right-angle gearmotor configuration, ensuring consistent torque transmission for heavy loads.

✔️Sanitation and Maintenance Design
We address cross-contamination risks through a round-shaped drive and tail station design. This geometry prevents grain residual accumulation and facilitates complete machine cleaning. The bottom is lined with HARDOX sheets by default or, as an alternative, with HDPE sheets, reducing friction and wear.

✔️Mechanical Integrity Reliability
In continuous operation is secured through specific engineering choices:

🔸Split Sprockets: Designed in two elements to allow replacement without shaft disassembly.

🔸Taper Bush Locking: Sprockets and gearboxes utilize taper bush installation to prevent pitting and simplify maintenance.

🔸External Bearings: Heavy-duty pillow block units are installed externally for immediate access and replacement.

🔸Corrosion Resistance: The entire machine casing is realized with Z450 or, on request, with Z600 galvanized steel finishing.

✔️Operational Stability
We implement a double spring chain tensioning device to guarantee automatic, optimal tension during operation. The casing is reinforced with external bottom and side stiffeners to withstand internal pressures.

We deliver these systems as fully assembled drive and tail units with disassembled casings to optimize transport logistics for large-scale projects.
