A submerged flight conveyor (SFC) is used to remove ash from pulverized coal-fired (PC) boilers, wet bottom (slagging) boilers, stoker-fed or traveling grate boilers, and incinerators. The SFC system consists of chain-mounted flight bars that continuously travel through a water impounded trough. With over 100 installations worldwide, the SFC system has proven to the industry leader for performance and reliability. The SFC unit is often used when water is limited, or where high, continuous ash discharge is required.
- Hydraulic Drive (HPU) design allows for total control of speed and torque to provide the best performance, reduced maintenance and quietest operation possible
- Flights (Flights) are made with field replaceable wear plates and are able to be replaced tools or disassembly of the chain
- (CHAIN) Utilizes high strength round link chain that is case hardened to ~700BHN for wear resistance and durability
