Chain Conveyors
Chain Conveyors
Chain conveyors are robust and reliable material handling systems used for moving heavy loads or materials through a production or processing line. These conveyors utilize a continuous chain arrangement—powered by motors—that carries loads along a fixed path. They are ideal for applications where materials are too heavy, hot, or sharp for belt conveyors, and are commonly used in automotive, metal processing, cement, and assembly line environments.
At Harsha Engineers India, we manufacture high-performance chain conveyors designed for durability, load capacity, and low maintenance. Our chain conveyors are built with MS (mild steel), stainless steel (SS304/316), or galvanized steel, and the chains can be selected based on the application—ranging from roller chains, bush chains, to forged link chains. We provide both single-strand and double-strand configurations, along with custom attachments for pallets, fixtures, or containers.
Chain conveyors are capable of moving items horizontally, vertically, or around curves, making them suitable for complex layouts and production sequences. The system can also integrate seamlessly with robotic automation, pick-and-place units, or other machinery.
Material of Construction (MOC): MS, SS 304, SS 316, GMP-compliant.
Chain Type: Roller chain, hollow pin chain, forged chain, or engineered plastic chain.
Conveyor Width: 300 mm to 1500 mm.
Conveyor Length: Up to 100 meters (customizable).
Capacity: From 500 kg/hr to several tons/hr.
Drive System: Electric motor with gearbox, fixed or variable speed.
Design Options: Slat conveyors, drag chain conveyors, pallet chain conveyors, and overhead chain conveyors.
Accessories: Side guards, hoppers, scrapers, sensors, and control panels.
The Chain Conveyor operates on the principle of interconnected chain-driven movement:
The conveyor uses parallel chains fitted with attachments or slats.
An electric motor drives sprockets, which pull the chains in continuous motion.
Materials are either directly placed on the chains or mounted on carriers/slats attached to the chains.
This motion ensures smooth and controlled transport of products from one point to another.
The design supports horizontal, inclined, or vertical conveying, depending on the requirement.
Chain Conveyors are widely used in industries requiring the transport of heavy, bulky, or abrasive materials:
Pharmaceuticals: Handling bulk raw materials, drums, and heavy containers.
Food Industry: Transport of packaged goods, crates, and pallets.
Chemicals: Conveying bags, drums, and chemical containers.
Automobile Industry: Assembly line conveyor for engines, chassis, and auto parts.
Mining & Minerals: Movement of ores, coal, and heavy aggregates.
Agriculture: Transport of grains, fertilizers, and processed goods.
Warehousing & Logistics: Pallet and crate handling in distribution centers.
Heavy-duty design for transporting large and bulky loads.
