Drag chain conveyors are transport conveyors used to handle pallets and other large loads efficiently and effectively.

This conveyor use strands of chains designed to directly support the material being conveyed. The chain moves along a track and pulls the material along. As the chain progresses, the material is conveyed from one point to another. 

They can be integrated with our accumulation logic controls to help accumulate products when needed.
