<p>In a chain conveyor, in particular in a chain conveyor of the swinging type, comprising flight attachments movably supported on at least one chain and sliding within a conveyor chute , the flight attachments are, at least in places, formed of material being conductive for the magnetic flux or are of permanently magnetic design, while the bottom of the conveyor chute is equipped with magnets or is formed of a material being conductive for the magnetic flux at least within the area of deviations from a straight-lined conveying direction. Beneath the bottom of the conveyor chute there can be arranged also permanent magnets or electro magnets having their pole shoes arranged in proximity of the lateral ends or the flight attachments sliding thereover. In this manner, the flight attachments are maintained within their path of travel within the conveyor chute without using mechanical guide elements which can cause jamming of the material to be conveyed,</p> |
