Our chain conveyers have been customer favourites for more than 40 years!We celebrate this with an (admittedly, not particularly festive) but exciting article about the series and how they make a difference in traditional agriculture, larger agriculture and industry!
Since our founding in 1961, we have developed solutions for agriculture and industry that have both helped to define and develop the crop handling industry. We distinguish ourselves with two different chain conveyer series, designed to transport crops in traditional agriculture, large-scale agriculture and industry. The series have been customer favorites for more than four decades, and here you can read more about how they excel for the different purposes.
SOBY's SR25 to SRL60 series is developed for traditional agriculture that handles smaller grain quantities. We use a combination of materials, making the series reliable and practical in smaller capacity plants. We commonly refer to the series as our "compact" series because it requires less space and is manufactured to accommodate intermittent operation and power transmission in limited space.
We use 3mm galvanized steel plate to ensure durability and make the tillers resistant to outdoor use. The series has a steel base and moves the crops using a chain with bolted plastic carriers. Finally, this series has worm gears, which ensure high torque and good speed reduction, even though the solution has to work in very small space.
SOBY's SR60-SR200 series is designed for larger farms and industrial plants that require high capacity and longer operating time. We use a different combination of materials here, because the series must meet different load requirements than the compact chain conveyer series. We therefore also refer to this series as our "industrial" series.
This series is also constructed of 3mm galvanized steel plate, but instead of a steel base, it has a robust non-fric plastic base that can withstand more intensive use. The series has a steel chain with welded carriers and uses flat gears, which are better at handling large engine outputs, with better efficiency.
With more than 40 years of experience specifically in the development of chain conveyers, we know that simplicity is the key to stability. That is why we use standard components for both series, which we have spent many years developing to deliver stable quality. However, we also know that every system is different.
Most of our chain conveyers can be installed horizontally, obliquely or in a pit, and can be combined so that the individual system can, for example, have rising chain conveyer that lift the crop up to the next machine. The series also fit a wide range of accessories, which are ready in stock at the factory in central Jutland and can be ordered online from our dealers, 24/7.
