The drag chain conveyor system serves as an ideal solution for material conveying in situations where space constraints make traditional conveyor installations impractical. Unlike belt or screw conveyors, the drag chain conveyor operates within a closed system, ensuring no spillages occur during transport. This design facilitates seamless material transfer, allowing for boxed or piped cross-sections. Additionally, the stationary nature of the material within the cross-section eliminates dust generation during conveying.

Ideal for fragile materials such as cereals, nuts, and coffee beans, the drag chain conveyor employs a unique principle. Material forms an endless seam of buckets, ensuring minimal contact with the chain. This method guarantees gentle handling and precise discharge.

The drag chain conveyor excels in handling dry bulk solids, fly ash, and even wet cake materials with moisture content up to 15%. Its efficient operation relies on the dragging motion of the chain within the enclosed cross-section.

This conveying principle finds application in various conveyor types such as Tubular chain conveyors, Enmasse conveyors, and Scraper conveyors. Moreover, its adaptability allows customization to suit any layout profile in multiple axes.

Capable of conveying material at speeds of 8 to 12 feet per minute, with inclinations of up to 60 degrees, the drag chain conveyor efficiently transports materials to storage or disposal locations.
