Chain or Drag Conveyors are designed for conveying dry solids such as free flowing powders, granules, pellets and flakes.

The hot-galvanised, flanged casing consists of a tail and a head section, as well as a number of modular intermediate sections. The tail and the head section contain drag and transmission rollers. The design facilitates assembly and maintenance.

The drive unit is coupled on the drag roller by means of a direct geared motor or chain transmission.
Depending on the characteristics of the material handled and on the throughput rate required, the conveyor chain may be manufactured from blank and bent links or forged with pressed links.

The chain guide is made of Polyzene® or manganese steel depending on the application.

Function

TCG Chain Conveyors are specialised for conveying cereals, flour or similar materials.
The product is dragged and conveyed by rectangular shaped flights along the bottom of the casing. The flights are fixed beneath a guided chain.

The conveyor enables material discharge in different points through intermediate outlet spouts, equipped with electrically operated slide valves especially designed for this purpose.

Apart from various industrial processes, TCG Chain Conveyors are widely used in storage plants for cereals and similar products. Applications include horizontal conveying with one or more discharge points, inclined conveying with one or more discharge points, material extraction from pits or hoppers, and material extraction and conveying with variation of angle of inclination.
