Drag Chain Conveyors

ATS drag chain conveyors can be used to transport any type of bulk material safely, gently, with all-round protection and with minimum space requirements, and are designed ruggedly for dependable and continuous duty conditions using a single or double strand. They are built to handle highly abrasive materials like ash, coal, clinker, limestone and other materials like sewage sludge, filter dust, wood chips, cement, biomass or alternative fuels, at elevated temperature with the use of special alloy materials in the construction of drag chain conveyors.

ATS drag conveyors move material over distances ranging from 5 to 50 metres or more. These conveying systems are equipped with the industry’s most durable chain, built with an exclusive drop-forged, case-hardened formula that produces a hard exterior coupled with a softer, malleable core. This combination gives our conveyor chain the highest level of abrasion resistance while reducing the risk of stress and breakage.

The Drag Chain Conveyors are completely enclosed for dust free operation. These are ideally suited for horizontal or inclined applications. These can also supplement any conveying needs with a complete line of material handling equipments. ATS uses a pressure tight robust system design with the principle of slow moving chain to achieve minimal product degradation and wear & tear.

Features of Drag Chain Conveyors:

Heavy-duty construction – The casings are built from heavy guage steel plates for providing structural rigidity and long service. All the flange connections are sealed to ensure material contaminating the environment.

Forged Steel Chain – The drop forged pin-and-fork type chain is made from various special alloys and hardened for extended life and for minimizing wear.

Sprockets – The sprockets are of a unique design, fabricated / cast from carbon steel for self cleaning action and are hardened for longer service.

Heavy duty flights – The flights / materials are selected to suit specific requirement of applications and are generally bolt-on type for ease of replacement.

Catenary take up – This kind of take ups are provided to accommodate thermal expansion of chain in high temperature applications.

Adjustable tail end take up – Facilitates internal tension of chain and flights; compensates for normal wear and elongation of chain, and also facilitates replacement of chain.

Inspection door – Provided at all easy access locations for regular inspection. They are fully gasketed for dust proof construction.
