The drag scraper chain conveyor’s movement relies on the chain, drag flight, sprocket, and support nylon roller.
It should be correctly tensioned to avoid any slippage or disruptions in the material flow. Additionally, the drive unit must be functioning correctly to provide the necessary power for the conveyor’s movement.
Components of the Drag Scraper Chain Conveyor
Drag Conveyor Chain
The chain is the main component that carries the material along the conveyor’s path. It consists of interconnected links that form a continuous loop.
YT Conveyor have GLF 81X series chain which equip flat flight.

In the video, it is our GLR chain: https://www.ytconveyor.com/product/glr-scraper-conveyor-chain/, this kind of chain will equip our arch-type plastic flight.
Drag Bar
Chain flights are attached to the chain and are responsible for conveying the material. They come in various designs and can be flat or round, depending on the application.
For the big, long drag bar, we will design the support for that.
Originally we use the support of the flat plate, but now we have all changed to the round bar type. Why do we change this? We will have another blog, please follow our blog.

Chain Flight
Flights are optional components that can be attached to the drag bars to help move material effectively, especially in inclined or vertical applications.
The flight in the video is round type. YT conveyor link: https://www.ytconveyor.com/product/br-arc-drag-conveyor-flight/
The flat flight link: https://www.ytconveyor.com/product/bf-flat-drag-conveyor-flight/
Commonly the material is HDPE or UHMWPE.
Flights: Flights are optional components that can be attached to the drag bars to help move material effectively, especially in inclined or vertical applications.
Chain Sprocket
We can customize it by clients’ dawing with different teeth and sizes.
You can ask for our blank drawing to fill in the data.

Nylon Roller
From the video, you may find the roller under the chain.
When the chain is long, due to the gravity weight itself, it will be down the level. So we can use the nylon roller to support it.

It can also be customized.
