Drag Chain conveyor
Metflo Process has been one of the pioneers in India to manufacture and supply Drag Chain conveyor/En-mass Chain conveyor/Spillage Chain conv (Long length)/Scrapper chain conv (Wide).
Slow moving chains in these conveyors influence the material to move gently through a closed duct in a horizontal or even in steeply inclined profiles. These can handle virtually any type of bulk material in an environmentally safe way due to its dust-tight and spill proof, totally enclosed construction. These conveyors are heavy duty and made of rugged construction. The conveying profile can vary from horizontal to near vertical direction. The material is conveyed with 'En-masse' effect or 'Drag' effect. En-Masse conveyors provide a cost advantage due to their low power consumption, compact size & low maintenance requirements.
Metflo Process uses its own brand of drop forged chains. But conveyors with roller pin chains or round link chains can also be designed if the client requirement demands so. The company has previously supplied Chain conveyers from 2 to 350 TPH with casing width varying from 200 mm to 1250 mm and length up to 155 meters.
Chain elevators are an excellent alternative for pneumatic systems where moisture percentage in the material to be handled is upto 30 % and where pneumatic systems fail. Metflo Process can provide a combination system which includes mechanical conveying using chain conveyors followed by pneumatic conveying to achieve long distance transfer of bulk material.
