Drag chain conveyors are a core technology in the transport of heavy-duty and bulk materials. They are built to move and high-density materials with high levels of reliability and efficiencies. The work of a drag chain conveyor is done through a driven chain assembly with strong links, flights of paddles, which, in a series, pulls or \"drags\" materials through a closed trough or housing. This design ensures a constant, controlled, and often entirely closed flow, and spillage, dust, and cross-contamination can be kept to a minimum. Thanks to the design, these conveyors can work in all kinds of positions, including angling vertically, at a slope, or flat, which helps them work in complex factory spaces, move to higher levels, and fit into small spaces, which is where other conveyors would be impractical.
In addition, the benefits of drag chain conveyors are particularly evident in tough industrial environments. The ability to move various types of solid materials, from fine powders to large, irregular bulk materials, and withstand a large variety of weight loads, makes these conveyors extremely valuable. The corrosion resistant alloys and components are built to withstand severe conditions and wear for a long time. This makes these conveyors valuable in industries where process and corrosion control are critical. In bulk materials and logistics, they facilitate the steady movement of minerals, grains, and recycled materials. In food processing, the closed systems assist in preventing contamination and protecting the product. The conveyors also meet the regulatory standards for sensitive materials in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
We know that no two problems are exactly the same, and off-the-shelf solutions often do not meet the needs of the business. Our company specializes in customized, fully-integrated solutions. We partner with clients in an engineering collaboration, tailoring solutions based on material properties such as particle size, moisture, abrasiveness, flow, and facility layout. We initiated the project and assist with concept design, manufacturing, integration, installation, and commissioning. Optimizing each system's chain type, trough design, drive, and discharge method, we support the continuous operation of our systems at their most efficient and energy-conscious.
To assure all conveyors are manufactured according to the utmost standards of quality and efficiency, we undergo challenges of sourcing and procuring components. For every assembled system, we conduct operational running tests. These tests are in accordance to the load, chain friction, drive seal, and system tension. After installation, we keep our customers trained and qualified to run the units. Customers are supplied with planned system parts, defects, and breakdown/out of serrvice parts ordered in advance. Customers gain a lasting positive relationship with our company and fully operational systems. These systems are valuable to the customer's productivity and rates of diversity of systemic different operational tasks.
