Drag Chain Conveyor Systems
IBT wants to work with you to design drag chain conveyor systems that meet all your specific business needs. Our knowledgeable team of conveying systems experts, in addition to the partnerships we’ve built with top manufacturers like Essmueller and Schlagel, will ensure that you receive quality service, parts, and ultimately, a reliable drag conveyor system to maximize your throughput.
Additional options available upon request, such as: thicker UHMW paddles, split hubs, roller chain, trough liners with UHMW or abrasion-resistant steel plates, bypass inlets, bend sections, discharge gates, safety monitor systems, rail returns, divided troughs or flame cut hardened steel sprockets.
Benefits of Drag Chain Conveyor Systems:
Benefits of Drag Chain Conveyor Systems:
Drag conveyors have capacities from 1,000 BPH up to 60,000 BPH and can run horizontally or inclined with special applications, such as L-Path drag conveyors. Select from painted steel, galvanized or stainless steel, and either a round or flat bottom design.
Standard features include: Steel or cast iron sprockets, external-mount pillow block bearings, 12 ga. metal trough, 14 ga. flat weather covers, stress-proof shafts, UHMW paddles mounted on heavy-duty chain and UHMW return rollers.
- Customize your grain storage system however you want
- Very little metal-to-grain contact, so breakage is almost nonexistent
- No internal disturbances or pressure on materials
- Requires less horsepower than screw conveyors
- Eliminate dust and moisture problems with enclosed and sealed conveyor
- With a lower profile, the drag conveyors take up less space per bushel conveyed
- Maintenance-friendly tail section
- Loads can be discharged at any opening

Drag Conveyor Replacement Flights
UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) Replacement for all major drag conveyors
The UHMW flights are a top choice for the grain industry due to their strength and ability to withstand abuse in these demanding environments. Their durability has been proven time and again. The abrasion-resistant material has the ability to “flex and give” tremendously and less friction reduces the workloads on drives and motors, in addition to reducing the wear on flights and the trough. The white (virgin) UHMW flights are ideal for food handling due to their naturally slick surface and compliance with Food Additives Laws and Regulation No. 177.1520. They are an obvious choice with their low initial cost and longer operational life, minimizing downtime and, ultimately, saving you money long term, as well.
IBT can design the drag chain conveyor systems that are right for you—depending on your site, the product being moved, capacities, wear factors and feeding arrangements. Call us today for a customized quote!
