A scraper conveyor, while sharing the basic principle of moving material with flights, is distinct from a sedimentation tank scraper system in its primary application and design. It is a type of mechanical conveyor used extensively in bulk material handling and industrial processing for transporting powdery, granular, or slurry-type materials horizontally or on an incline. The design typically involves a trough through which a chain with attached scrapers (flights) moves, dragging the material along. Common applications include transporting ash from boilers, grains in food processing, wood chips in pulp mills, or collected screenings and grit in wastewater treatment headworks. They are valued for their ability to handle hot, abrasive, or otherwise difficult materials in a enclosed system. While both scraper conveyors and sedimentation tank scrapers use a dragging flight concept, the latter is specifically engineered for the unique environment of a liquid-filled tank, focusing on gentle collection without resuspension and on resisting aquatic corrosion.
