Drag Chain Conveyors
Chain Conveyors (Drag Chain) are typically used for pallets or racks that have runners that will not convey on a standard roller conveyor.
Structural tube steel rails are connected together by welded on structural angle spreaders. Either a UHMW chain track or a steel wear bar provides the structural support for the chain that is typically driven by an underhung center drive.
Idler sprockets with pressed in bearings allow the chain to wrap around the end of the conveyor and begin its return path through the inside of the structural tube.
Idler sprockets placed intermittently along the return path prevent the chain from riding on the bottom of the tube.
