Principle of Operation
Chain & flight conveyors, in their simplest form, operate by dragging a product along the base of an enclosed trough with a flighted chain, which revolves around a free running tail sprocket and a driven sprocket.
Product enters the conveyor through an inlet usually at the tail and usually exits through an adaptor at the drive end.
There are many variations to the basic machine, some conveyors are designed to be able to run in reverse pushing the product as well as dragging it, some convey along a high tray instead of the base of the trough and some have no base at all, to evenly fill grain stores. Others work on a flow and return principle where product enters the top of the conveyor at any point along its length, is moved by the chain along a high tray until it goes around the tail end shaft and is carried along the base. This method is particularly useful when feeding a line of silos or driers from a single feed.
