Drag Chains

Drag chains are valued for their durability, efficiency, and ability to operate in confined spaces.

By investing in Viacore’s mechanical services, companies can ensure that their drag chain conveyors operate smoothly, minimizing disruptions and maintaining a steady flow of materials.

What is a drag chain conveyor?

A drag chain conveyor is designed to transport bulk materials using a continuous chain and attached buckets or pans. The conveyor features a drag chain, which is made of a series of connected links or plates that move through a track. This chain is driven by a motor and gearbox, which pull the material along the conveyor’s path. The attached buckets or pans scoop up the material and drag it to the desired location. This type of conveyor is especially suited for handling heavy or abrasive materials due to its durable construction.

Where are drag chain conveyors used?

Drag chain conveyors are commonly used in industries such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing for bulk material handling. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure their reliable performance and longevity, as they are designed to withstand tough operating conditions and significant material loads.
