Drag chains  WD Type

Product photo
  • This exclusive chain is specially designed for directly pushing conveyed objects with a chain.
  • Drag chains are solid steel chains with plates and bushes welded together.
  • Leading face of a bush is flat so it can push conveyed material, while trailing face of a bush is round so it can smoothly engage with a sprocket.
  • It has superior tensile strength, wear resistance, and impact resistance compared to cast iron chains, while a chain pitch is set so as to accurately and reliably engage a sprocket.

Application

・Cement industry Clinker conveyance

・Papermaking industry Wood chip conveyance

・Power generation industry Biomass fuel conveyance, withdrawing coal from silos

Features

  • ・Both ends of a cotter pin are secured with a T-pin for a simple construction.
  • ・Heavy Duty specs with a higher tensile strength and corrosion resistant specs also available.
  • ・Unique attachments also available. (MTO item )

Attachments
