What is a redler and how does it work?
A redler is a type of drag chain conveyor designed to move solid bulk materials horizontally or at a slight incline. It consists of a chain with paddles that drag the product along a closed metal box.
Unlike other systems such as belts or screw conveyors, the redler operates in a completely enclosed environment, which prevents exposure to dust, product spillage, and cleaning problems in the facility.
What are the advantages of redler conveyor transport?
- Total airtightness: Being completely enclosed, it prevents material from dispersing and reduces exposure to external agents, improving hygiene conditions.
- Minimal product loss: Ideal for valuable or sensitive raw materials, the redler ensures that virtually all of the product reaches its destination without loss due to spillage or volatilization.
- Reduced dust emissions: This is especially relevant in sectors such as oil and agro-industry, where dust can be an environmental and safety issue.
- Low maintenance: Its robust design and low-speed operation minimize mechanical wear and extend the service life of the equipment.
- Product versatility: From wet pomace to cereals, seeds, by-products, or flours, redlers adapt to different materials and working conditions.
Where are they used?
At CHÍA, we install redlers in key sectors such as:
- Oil industry: For transporting wet pomace, crushed pits, or by-products between equipment.
- Ports: As part of bulk loading and unloading lines to ships or trucks.
What to consider when choosing a redler?
The design of a redler must be adapted to the type of material, flow rate, transport distance, and environmental conditions. At CHÍA, we manufacture custom redler conveyors, integrated into larger systems such as hoppers, bucket elevators, screw conveyors, or conveyor belts, guaranteeing a complete technical solution.
