The favourable position of the chains allows the conveyor to be used to transport incandescent material
The chains are positioned laterally and in the highest part of the buckets – the area least affected by the hot material. This position reduces the vertical footprint of the equipment compared to TP and TC conveyors.
TTP deep bucket conveyors convey material on the upper branch only but hold material well within the confines of the conveyor. Throughout the conveyor’s life, no flow-through of material is observed.
Moreover, this type allows for the occasional transport of incandescent material (900-1000 °C), which is particularly useful in istances or kiln malfunction
