Drag Chain Conveyor Machine (Industrial Enclosed Bulk Material Handling System)
A Drag Chain Conveyor Machine, also known as a Drag Conveyor, En Masse Conveyor, or Industrial Drag Chain Conveyor System, is a heavy-duty industrial material handling equipment designed for continuous enclosed transportation of powders, granules, grains, pellets, ash, cement, chemicals, biomass, and bulk materials using chain-driven flights or paddles inside a sealed conveyor casing.
About the Drag Chain Conveyor
Drag chain conveyor systems are widely used for:
- Enclosed bulk material conveying
- Dust-free material transfer
- Heavy-duty industrial handling
- Horizontal and inclined conveying
- Long-distance material transportation
- Controlled product flow systems
The machine improves:
- Material handling efficiency
- Dust control and cleanliness
- Production automation
- Product safety
- Factory hygiene
- Continuous industrial operation
Unlike conventional conveyors, drag chain conveyors use:
- Chain-driven flights or paddles
- Enclosed conveyor casing
- Heavy-duty drag chain systems
- Slow-speed bulk material movement
to transport materials smoothly while minimizing product damage and dust generation.
Drag chain conveyor machines are widely used in industries such as:
Cement industries
Grain processing plants
Food processing industries
Chemical industries
Power plants
Biomass industries
Fertilizer industries
Mining industries
where dust-free enclosed bulk material conveying is essential.
The machine is highly suitable for:
- Grain conveying
- Powder handling
- Fly ash transfer
- Cement transportation
- Biomass conveying
- Bulk material movement
ART Mechatronics offers high-performance drag chain conveyor machines, engineered for continuous industrial operation, enclosed dust-free conveying, rugged construction, and reliable long-term performance.
Working Principle of Drag Chain Conveyor Machine
Powders, grains, pellets, ash, or bulk materials are fed into conveyor inlet section
Motor-driven chain system moves flights or paddles inside enclosed conveyor casing
Flights drag material continuously along conveyor path
Machine conveys:
- Powders
- Grains
- Pellets
- Cement
- Fly ash
- Biomass
- Chemicals without dust leakage or material spillage.
Controlled chain movement reduces: Product degradation Dust generation Material segregation
Conveyor can operate: Horizontally Inclined Multi-directional arrangements depending on plant layout.
Material discharged continuously at desired process or transfer point
