Drag Chain Conveyors for Fine Chips and Sludge

Drag Chain Conveyors for Fine Chips and Sludge

Jorgensen drag flight conveyors efficiently handle fine metal particles, small broken chips, and swarf sludge. Scraper conveyors use scraper flights attached to a drag chain to pull fine chips from the bottom of machine tools and move them into a chip collection bin for easy disposal.

Drag conveyors are well suited for applications machining steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, composites, and other materials. They also perform exceptionally well in high-volume coolant environments where fine particles must be continuously removed from the machine.

Customizable dimensions allow each drag chain conveyor to be configured for the user’s specific machine and application. Large-pitch drag chains and heavy-duty steel components provide the durability required for demanding chip and sludge removal. The detachable chain design also simplifies maintenance and service, helping ensure long-term reliability.

For applications involving ferrous metals and high coolant flow, consider pairing the system with a Mag-Drag® conveyor to efficiently remove metal fines from coolant. Drag conveyors can also be integrated with coolant filtration systems or an EcoFilter® cell to improve coolant cleanliness and extend fluid life.
