Chain conveyor

[citation needed] The chain arrangement is driven by a motor, and the material suspended on the pendants is conveyed.

Chain conveyors are primarily used to transport heavy unit loads, e.g., pallets, grid boxes, and industrial containers.

The automotive industry commonly uses chain conveyor systems to convey car parts through paint plants.

[3] Chain conveyors also have widespread use in the white and brown goods, metal finishing and distribution industries.

They are used for moving materials such as cement clinker, ash, and sawdust in the mining and chemical industries,[4] municipal solid waste incinerators,[5] and the production of pellet fuel.
