DRAG CONVEYORS

Standard drag conveyors consist of square shaped trough with paddles mounted on conveyor chain. Delta drag conveyors consist of semi-circular or hexagonal shaped trough with paddles mounted on conveyor chain. Trough is fitted with a bolt on lid. All paddles are full width manufactured from UHMW polyethylene, bolted to cleats welded to chain. Paddles are profiled to make the conveyor self cleaning. Conveyor inlet is designed to prevent the product passing through the return (top) chain. Any number of inlets can be provided, sized to suit any feeding spout or hopper. Chains, sprockets, drive shafts, tail shafts and bearings are heavy duty and designed to suit the application. The tail section has jacking screws for conveyor chain tensioning.
