Chain Conveyors

Chain conveyors are used in many applications ranging from agricultural applications such as feed and grain to heavy duty applications including quarying, mining and cement.

The granular material on the chain conveyor is moved using 2 principle alternative technologies, en-masse conveying or drag conveying.
