Highlights
A conveyor consisting of wooden or steel plates attached to endless chains and running in a trough through which the material is dragged
The chain moves the material directly, while a flight conveyor uses a series of wood, metal, or plastic flights attached to the chain at regular intervals, which push the material along the trough
The standard drag conveyor, or the drag chain conveyor uses two endless chains with evenly spaced paddles between them, which drag along the bottom of a trough to transport material
Summary
A conveyor consisting of wooden or steel plates attached to endless chains and running in a trough through which the material is dragged. Variously called drag chain conveyors, scraper chain conveyors and en-masse conveyors, are used in bulk material handling to move solid material along a trough They are used for moving materials such as cement clinker, ash, and sawdust in the mining and chemical industries, municipal solid waste incinerators, and the production of pellet fuel. Certain models can run at up to 50 ft/min with a capacity of 10 cubic feet per minute at a length up to 400 feet per drive They are ideal for non-sanitary, non-abrasive products such as grain, pebbles, and more, and are often used as feeders for other machines. Drag chain conveyors can be configured to meet your unique specifications and keep your capital investment costs as well as operating and maintenance expenses to a minimum
