| 5 | **Plate Conveyor** is a type of conveyor that transports materials in horizontal or inclined directions using a series of plates (or flights) attached to a traction chain. | ||
| 6 | The system consists of individual plate segments linked together to form an endless loop, serving as both the traction and load‑carrying component. The carrying surface is equipped with transverse flights (or cross‑ridges) that run inside a trough or casing. The driven loop, via these flights, pushes the material forward for transportation. | ||

| 10 | The plate conveyor operates by driving the chain plates in a reciprocating motion via a traction chain, thereby transporting materials. The VC inverter is primarily used to control the drive motor, enabling stepless speed regulation. | ||

| 12 | * The start/stop and speed of the fan require separate control via external terminals and a potentiometer, respectively. | ||
| 13 | * The conveying equipment needs to operate at a low speed for smooth material transport. | ||
