Chain conveyor

Chain conveyors can be used in a versatile and efficient way in the transport of bulk materials

Chain conveyors are continuous conveyors that efficiently transport bulk materials such as biomass, wood chips or alternative fuels within your plant. A chain conveyor consists of one or more circulating chain strands on which the material to be transported lies. Chain conveyors have the advantage that they can be designed to be dust-tight compared to conveyor belts. We can supply you with both drag chain and trough conveyors.
