Cross-beam vs Chain Grate: Pros and Cons

Cross-beam Grate

(I) Advantages

Strong load capacity: The cross-beam grate uses transversely arranged beams as the main support structure, with grate bars mounted on the beams. This design gives it excellent load capacity, easily bearing the weight of thicker fuel layers. Uniform air distribution: The beam structure allows air to be evenly distributed across the grate surface, ensuring stable combustion. Fuel adaptability: The cross-beam design accommodates various coal types and fuel particle sizes, providing flexibility while maintaining combustion efficiency.
