Drag Chain Conveyor

Efficient & Reliable Bulk Material Handling

Drag Chain Conveyors are one of the most dependable systems for moving bulk materials smoothly and safely. Instead of belts or buckets, they use a continuous chain with paddles or scrapers to pull material through an enclosed trough. This rugged design makes them ideal for handling challenging materials across a wide range of industries.

Also known as scraper chain conveyors, paddle conveyors, or en-masse conveyors, they efficiently handle powders, granules, cement clinker, ash, sawdust, pellets, sludge, and many other industrial materials requiring controlled, enclosed movement.

How Drag Chain Conveyors Work

The system uses a single or double-strand chain fitted with paddles (flights). The chain drags material along the trough, creating smooth, controlled conveying action.

  • Chain motion drags material forward
  • Material moves by friction and shearing action
  • Paddles create pockets to channel flow
  • Supports multiple inlet points
