Drag Chain Feeder 1

Drag Chain Feeder

A Drag Chain Feeder is a robust conveyor system designed to transport bulk materials using a continuous chain fitted with specially designed flights or paddles. These flights drag the material along an enclosed trough, enabling efficient and controlled material transfer from one point to another.

This system is particularly suitable for handling abrasive, dusty and heavy materials such as coal, cement, clinker and minerals, offering high durability and reliable performance even in demanding industrial environments.

Mechanism

A continuous chain with attached flights moves inside a closed trough, physically dragging the material forward in a controlled manner.

Applications

Widely used in power generation plants, cement manufacturing units and mineral processing industries for handling large volumes of bulk materials.

Material Handling

Capable of conveying abrasive, dusty and hot materials due to its enclosed and heavy-duty construction.

Flexibility

Can be designed for horizontal, inclined or vertical conveying based on process and layout requirements.

Design Considerations

  • Optimized flight design for smooth and consistent material flow
  • Heavy-duty chains for long service life
  • Enclosed trough minimizes dust emissions
  • Customizable design based on material characteristics
