sections; stainless steel slide; double corner wheels for smoother operation under heavier loads; steel liner for concrete trough provides
a smooth surface.
Drive Motors: 2, 3, 5 or 7-1/2 H.P., 1 ph. or 3 ph.
Optional Equipment Specifications
Calculating Capacity
Capacity and HP requirements can vary depending on the material moved, inclines involved and many other factors. Consideration must
be given to the machine layout, incline, elbows, chain length and speed, as well as material density, moisture content, and frictional
characteristics of the material to be moved. Use caution when material unit weights exceed 40 lbs. per cu. ft. (640.7 kg/m3) as material depth
in troughs should not exceed 2-4 inches (50.8-101.6 mm). Slanted side walls may reduce capacity, but should be used with rigid materials
such as wood blocks or bark to avoid bending flites.
U.S. UNITS
M-400 Material Mover, moves 15 ton/hour, wood chips at
30 lbs/cu. ft.
1) 15 T x 2000 #x hr. = 500 #/min.
hr. T 60 min.
2) 500 #/ min. = 16.7 ft3/ min.
30
#/ cu.ft.
3) 6” material depth at 24 FPM gives 18 ft3/min.
delivery (from table).
EXAMPLE
1) Convert to lbs./min.
2) Divide by material unit weight to determine volume.
3) Refer to Volume Capacity Table for material delivery rate at an estimated depth in trough.
METRIC UNITS
M-400 Material Mover, moves 13.61 t/hr, wood chips at
480.5 kg/m3.
1) 13.61 t/hr x 1000 kg x hr. = 226.8 kg//min.
t 60 min.
2) 226.8 kg/ min. = 0.47 m3/ min.
480.5 kg/m3
3) 152.4 mm material depth at 7.3 m/min gives
0.510 m3/min. delivery (from table).

It is the user’s responsibility to cover all walkways and return troughs with a steel floor plate to prevent possi-
ble personal injury. Cover should extend from hold down post at bottom end of the elevating slide to and includ-
ing return corner. If no elevating slide is used, trough covers should extend from the drive unit to and including
the return corner. Right Hand (R.H.) = Counter-clockwise chain movement.
Left Hand (L.H.) = Clockwise chain movement.
