A chain conveyor is a mechanical system that uses a chain as a pulley to move items or products along a production line or to another location. Chain conveyors are often used to transport heavy unit loads, such as pallets, industrial containers, and grid boxes. 

Here are some characteristics of chain conveyors:

• Durability: Chain conveyors are durable. 

• Ease of maintenance and repair: Chain conveyors are easy to maintain and repair. 

• Customizability: Chain conveyors can be customized. 

• Safety: Chain conveyors can reduce manual handling and make operations safer. 

• Versatility: Chain conveyors can handle large quantities of products and materials. 
• Cost-effectiveness: Chain conveyors can be cost-effective. 

There are different types of chain conveyors, including:

• Drag chain conveyors

  These conveyors use a chain-and-flight combination to pull material along. The chain has paddles or flights that drag material from charging points to discharging points. Drag chain conveyors are typically made from durable, high-strength materials like steel or steel alloy. 

• Slat conveyor chains

  These chains have slats connected to them to form a continuous surface for carrying products. They are often used in manufacturing and assembly lines to transport heavy or large items.
