Standard Drag Chain Conveyors

Ideal for sticky material transport using drag chains and troughs.
Overview The Standard Drag Chain Conveyor is engineered for efficient handling of viscous, adhesive, or semi-solid materials that challenge conventional conveying systems. Utilizing a robust drag-and-scrape mechanism, it ensures reliable transport of sticky substances such as wet clay, sludge, food pastes, and industrial residues. Designed to comply with GB/T standards, this conveyor excels in industries like wastewater treatment, food processing, chemical manufacturing, and construction materials production. Key Features
  1. Adhesive Material Expertise
    • Unique U-shaped trough and overlapping flights prevent material buildup on surfaces.
    • Anti-stick coatings (optional) on chains and troughs for high-adhesion substances like tar or syrup.
  2. Heavy-Duty Construction
    • Forged alloy steel chains with hardened scraper blades withstand abrasion and impact loads up to 50 kN/m.
    • Sealed design minimizes spillage and dust emissions (<10 mg/m³).
  3. Flexible Configuration
    • Horizontal, inclined (0°–15°), or Z-shaped layouts to fit complex production lines.
    • Multi-discharge points for batch processing or distribution systems.
