DRAG CHAIN with STEEL FLIGHTS (BELTLESS) CONVEYORSThis is one of the most basic types of drag chain conveyor. The chain lies flat on its side as it slides on tracks made of angle iron with UHMW wear surfaces, to reduce friction. Steel cross angles are bolted between the two chains at regular intervals, which slide on a solid conveyor bed and pull material along. This open-frame style belt works well for metering material being fed out of a hopper.
The chain belt is guided around both ends of conveyor on sprockets. The sprockets at the discharge end of the conveyor grab the chain as the shaft and sprockets are turned by a motor with a reducer. |
Common Drag Chain Conveyor Uses:
Conveyor Orientation Options:
Remcon can build drag chain conveyors in many different orientations, depending on the layout requirements, etc. We also can build two separate conveyors that run in series, to simplify installation, separate clumps better, or to be able to use two different types of conveyors (e.g. a roller chain feeding a slider bed, etc.). Other options may be available, depending on the application.
All of these orientation options can be installed both in-ground (in a pit) or above ground.
Contact us to discuss what layout options would work best for your situation.
