Chain Conveyor (Drag Chain / Redler)
Enclosed Chain Conveyor for Dust-Free, Damage-Free Grain & By-Product Handling
Chain Conveyor for Enclosed, Multi-Point Material Handling
A chain conveyor — also known as a drag chain conveyor or redler conveyor — is enclosed conveying equipment that moves bulk materials such as paddy, rice, husk, or bran horizontally or at an incline through a rectangular shell, using a moving chain fitted with scraper flights.
Agromach builds its chain conveyors with wear-resistant guide rails, tempered high-strength chains, and adjustable tail-end tensioning for easier maintenance, so the unit stands up to abrasive husk and bran while handling paddy and rice gently enough to avoid grain breakage.
- Fully enclosed trough keeps dust in and contamination out
- Gentle handling minimizes grain breakage vs. open systems
- Supports multiple feed and discharge points on one line
- Suitable for surface or underground/godown installation
Common Material Handling Problems in Rice Mills
Rice mills that rely on open or poorly designed conveying systems run into recurring handling issues:
- Dust escaping into the work area from open handling of husk and bran
- Grain breakage from rough or high-impact material transfer
- Spillage and material loss at transfer and discharge points
- Difficulty routing material to multiple silos or discharge points
- High wear and frequent downtime moving abrasive husk
Left unaddressed, these issues quietly erode throughput, product quality, and plant safety.
The Agromach Chain Conveyor Advantage
Agromach's chain conveyor is built as an enclosed, chain-and-flight system suited to the mix of free-flowing and abrasive materials found in a rice mill — from delicate milled rice to coarse husk.
Engineered to move grain gently and husk reliably, in one enclosed system.
- Enclosed rectangular shell contains dust and prevents spillage
- Scraper-chain action handles paddy and rice without excessive impact
- Wear-resistant guide rails withstand abrasive husk and bran
- Multiple feed and discharge points reduce separate handling equipment
- Adjustable chain tensioning simplifies routine maintenance
A single enclosed conveyor line that keeps grain quality, plant cleanliness, and uptime under control.
Agromach Chain Conveyor — Built for Continuous Duty
Built for continuous duty in rice mill and grain-handling environments.
Key Features
- Enclosed rectangular trough/shell construction
- Chain-mounted scraper flights for continuous movement
- Wear-resistant guide rails (treated steel or polymer plates)
- Tempered, heat-treated chain, pins, and rollers
- Adjustable tail-end chain tensioning device

Multi-Point Feed & Discharge
Agromach chain conveyors are configured to:
- Feed and discharge at multiple points along one line
- Handle both surface and underground/godown installations
- Move paddy, rice, husk, and bran on the same line type
- Integrate with silo and storage bin loading systems
This flexibility reduces the need for separate handling equipment at each point.

Chain Conveyor Price
The chain conveyor price depends on:
- Conveyor length and trough width/capacity
- Material of construction (mild steel vs. stainless steel)
- Drive motor power and chain/flight specification
- Number of feed and discharge points required
- Installation type — surface vs. underground/godown
