Drag Link Chain Conveyor
Introduction
A drag link chain conveyor is a mechanical material handling equipment that is used to convey heavy-duty, abrasive, and hot or cold materials across different levels of production systems. It is designed to withstand high-stress conditions and has a long service life. Drag link chain conveyors are widely used in industries such as automotive, steel, mining, and power plants.
What is a Chain Drag Used For?
Chain drags are used for the following purposes:
1. Material Handling
Chain drags are used to transport bulk materials such as coal, grain, and cement from one point to another.
2. Heat Treatment
Chain drags are used for heat treatment processes, such as quenching and tempering, in the automotive and steel industries.
3. Ash Handling
Chain drags are used in power plants for ash handling from the combustion process.
4. Scrap Handling
Chain drags are used in metalworking industries to transport metal scraps for recycling.
5. Cooling Processes
Chain drags are used for cooling hot materials such as sand, glass, and cement in the manufacturing process.
What Does a Drag Chain Conveyor Do?
Drag chain conveyors do the following:
1. Conveying Materials
The primary function of a drag chain conveyor is to transport materials from one location to another within a production system.
2. Protecting Materials
Drag chain conveyors protect materials from the environment, such as dust and heat, during transportation.
3. Handling Abrasive Materials
Drag chain conveyors are designed to handle abrasive materials such as coal, sand, and gravel.
4. Handling Hot or Cold Materials
Drag chain conveyors can handle materials at high or low temperatures, making them ideal for use in the steel and automotive industries.
5. Improving Production System Efficiency
Drag chain conveyors improve production system efficiency by reducing material waste and improving material flow.
Types of Drag Chains for Different Applications
Different types of drag chains are used for different applications, such as:
1. Standard Duty Drag Chains
Standard duty drag chains are designed for light to medium-duty applications, such as agriculture and woodworking.
2. Heavy Duty Drag Chains
Heavy duty drag chains are designed for high-stress applications, such as mining and power plants.
3. Pivoting Drag Chains
Pivoting drag chains are designed for conveying materials around corners and bends in the production system.
4. Enclosed Drag Chains
Enclosed drag chains are designed for protecting materials from the environment during transportation.
5. Magnetic Drag Chains
Magnetic drag chains are designed for transporting materials that are magnetic, such as steel and iron.
How to Choose or Customize Suitable Drag Chains?
When choosing or customizing suitable drag chains, the following factors should be considered:
1. Capacity
The capacity of the drag chain should match the required material flow rate.
2. Length
The length of the drag chain should be sufficient to cover the required distance.
3. Speed
The speed of the drag chain should match the required production rate.
4. Material
The material of the drag chain should be selected based on the material being transported and the environmental conditions.
5. Maintenance
The drag chain should be easy to maintain and repair to minimize downtime and production costs.
