What is a Drag Chain Conveyor?
A Drag Chain Conveyor is a mechanical system that uses a continuous chain, powered by motors, to transport solid materials along a defined path. The chain actively drags the material through a trough, which can be horizontal, inclined, or even vertical, depending on the operational requirement. These conveyors efficiently handle everything from fine particles to large granules—often in bulk.

Advantages of Drag Chain Conveyors
✅ Designed for Harsh Environments
First and foremost, drag chain conveyors are built to perform reliably under extreme conditions such as high temperatures, dusty environments, and abrasive materials. Their enclosed design not only minimizes material leakage but also ensures cleaner operations overall.
✅ Versatile Applications
In addition, these conveyors handle a wide variety of bulk materials, including biomass, ash, clinker, coal, and chemical powders. This makes them highly adaptable across multiple industries.

✅ Space-Efficient Configuration
Furthermore, their modular design allows installation in limited spaces. Whether installed horizontally, vertically, or at an incline, they optimize the available layout without compromising capacity.
✅ Low Maintenance Requirements
Compared to other material handling systems like belt or screw conveyors, drag chain conveyors require less frequent maintenance. As a result, they reduce downtime and lower long-term operational costs.
