A Radler Drag Chain Conveyor is a type of mechanical conveyor system used primarily for handling bulk materials like grains, coal, ash, or other fine or granular materials. It operates using one or more endless chains with paddles (also called flights) that drag the material along the bottom of a trough.
Drag Chain Conveyors are widely used in industrial applications to efficiently move bulk materials, particularly in situations where dust control, gentle handling, or rugged construction are crucial.
Why Use Drag Chain Conveyors?
Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
Enclosed design | Dust-free and safe material handling |
Gentle transport | Minimises product degradation |
Heavy-duty build | Ideal for abrasive or high-temperature materials |
Flexible layout | Can be horizontal, inclined, or vertical |
Low speed | Reduces wear and increases equipment life |
