ABSTRACT:
A drag-chain conveyor has a trough-shaped elongated passage a bottom wall of which is formed with one or more openings each bounded by a circumferentially extending marginal wall portion of stepped cross-section. A discharge chute is provided for each opening and extends downwardly from the bottom wall. A closure plate is provided for each opening and each plate is movable between a position in which it is withdrawn from the respective opening and a position in which it is located and closes the opening. The closure plate has a circumferentially extending bevelled edge face which sealingly engages the wall portion bounding the respective opening when the closure plate is in its closing position. A mounting arrangement mounts the closure plate for movement between the positions thereof.
