Fully enclosed drag chain conveyor for dust-free grain and flour conveying

01 / 07

Overview

Drag chain conveyors (also called en-masse conveyors) move material through a fully enclosed, sealed trough by means of flights or paddles attached to a central chain. The material is dragged rather than carried, making the conveyor suitable for abrasive, dusty, and fine materials that would spill or cause environmental issues if conveyed on an open belt. The sealed construction also prevents contamination of the product from external sources. Drag chain conveyors are widely used in flour milling, grain handling, and feed milling where dust-free operation is a requirement. They can convey horizontally or at slight inclines.
