A solution for each application

KOCH Drag Chain Conveyors can be

integrated at various stages of the
production or disposal process, thus
providing ample possibilities for solving
different transport tasks.

In addition, FLSmidth offers a carefully

selected range of supplementary
components, which integrate the bulk
material transport by drag chain conveyors
into a closed system from the receipt of
the bulk material up to the storage, dosing
and discharge.

For complex conveying tasks we combine

KOCH Drag Chain Conveyors with a wide
range of other FLSmidth conveying
components, such as bulk material
receiving stations, storages with FeedexTM
reclaimer, KOCH Pipe Conveyor systems,
air-supported belt conveyors, screw
conveyors, silos with discharging systems,
Pfister rotor weighfeeders, Mller
pneumatic conveying systems, bulk fuel
spreaders and conventional conveying
systems.

For enclosed conveying systems and

alternative fuel systems FLSmidth offers
design, engineering, fabrication, assembly,
commissioning and after-sales service all
from one source.

Basic design types of KOCH Drag

Chain Conveyors

There are two basic design types for

the multifunctional range of KOCH
Drag Chain Conveyors:
Type H with horizontal
arrangement
Type V with vertical arrangement
up to 90
Type H Type V

Both types are usually available with

any number of feed and discharge
points over the length of the
intermediate troughs. A special design
of the KOCH Drag Chain Conveyors
can be used for volumetric dosing as
feeders, especially as mill feeders.

All KOCH Drag Chain Conveyors can Sludge Conveyor Cooling Conveyor
be designed as dust-proof, water-
tight, pressure tight and explosion-
proof. Due to their self-supporting
structure they can easily be integrated
into existing installations, requiring
minimum space.
Based on the two basic designs and
by using a multitude of individual
components, FLSmidth designs and
supplies drag chain conveyors and Extracting Conveyor Filter Conveyor

The system with outstanding

reliability

Quality from our own factory

KOCH Drag Chain Conveyors are mostly
manufactured at the FLSmidth factory in
Wadgassen, Germany, in accordance with
highest technical standards. Mechanical
tests as well as non-destructive inspections
during and after production ensure
constant high quality.
Type B with straight, flat flight Type U with single-bend square flight
Selected materials
The modular system components are
available in standard steel with various
plate thicknesses. For special requirements
and applications we fabricate individually
designed systems using specially selected
materials such as heat-resistant steel or
stainless steel. The housing can be lined
with wear plates, cast basalt or synthetic
material. The chain guides can either be
arranged on the floor or on wear rails.
Type G with triple-bend square flight Type DB with straight, flat, double line flight

Super strong with the special

KOCH conveyor chain
The heart of the KOCH Drag Chain
Conveyor is the special KOCH conveyor
chain - the links are drop-forged with the
welding lug (1) integrated into the forged
piece. The flights are welded to the lug by
means of a special flash-butt welding
process. This special welding process
protects the flights from breaking off the
Type T with straight square flight Type C with double-bend square flight
functionality and tensile strength of the
conveyor chains are fully preserved even
under extreme loads, thus ensuring high
availability and a long service life of the
system. Flights are available in a wide
range of designs to suit each type of
material and application.
