A conveyor chain includes a plurality of side link assemblies and flight arm assemblies coupled together to form an elongated chain. The flight arm assemblies include a pair of opposing flight arms positioned on either side of the chain with the flight arms each including an elongated body formed with and extending from an integral base and a vertical sprocket opening formed in the integral base. The vertical sprocket opening is configured for engaging a tooth of a drive sprocket to drive the flight arm. The side link assemblies include a pair of opposing side straps positioned on either side of the chain each including a base and a pair of side strap bosses extending outwardly from the base. An articulating connector is positioned between a flight arm assembly and a side link assembly to couple the assemblies together and includes a solid piece and side surfaces having profiled surfaces therein and configured for receiving at least one of a portion of a side strap of a side link assembly or a portion of a base of a flight arm assembly for providing articulation of the assemblies.

A fermentation residue conditioner for conditioning aggregate materials consisting of fermentation residue, sludge, both of which having high water content, and/or organic residual masses with low water content, particularly of fermentation residues from the fermentation of household waste, bio-waste and/or base materials containing food residues, having a fermentation residue dropping point for introducing the aggregate material and a fermentation residue removal point for removing the aggregate material. The fermentation residue conditioner is designed such that the aggregate material is transportable through the fermentation residue conditioner during conditioning. The fermentation residue conditioner has a deposit surface for supporting the aggregate material from the underside, and wherein the aggregate material can be transported through the conditioner by a conveyor chain.

A link for a conveyor chain includes a first portion and a second portion laterally spaced apart from the first portion. The first portion includes a first sprocket-engaging pin, and the second portion includes a second sprocket-engaging pin. The first sprocket-engaging pin and the second sprocket-engaging pin protrude laterally away from one another. The first sprocket-engaging pin and the second sprocket-engaging pin may each have an oblong cross-section. At least one retainer can secure a connecting pin against movement relative to at least one of the first portion and the second portion, and each retainer can be positioned substantially within one of the first portion and the second portion.

The present disclosure relates to a flight bar clamp for connecting a flight bar to at least one chain link of at least one conveyor chain of a chain conveyor used in underground mining. The flight bar clamp comprises a clamp main body extending along a clamp longitudinal axis, and at least one chain link engaging portion disposed at the clamp main body configured to engage with one chain link. The at least one chain link engaging portion of the flight bar clamp includes a sacrificial anode reception, and a sacrificial anode body disposed in the sacrificial anode reception. The sacrificial anode body may protect the flight bar clamp, the flight bar and the chains from contact corrosion.

A conveyor chain includes a first link, a second link, and a coupler link. The first link includes a first sprocket-engaging portion and a second sprocket-engaging portion, each protruding laterally away from one another. The second link includes a first sprocket-engaging portion and a second sprocket-engaging portion, each protruding laterally away from one another. The coupler link couples the first link to the second link, and the coupler link is positioned laterally between the first sprocket-engaging portion and the second sprocket-engaging portion of each link. The coupler link includes a first joint pivotably coupled to the first link and a second joint pivotably coupled to the second link. The first joint permits pivoting movement of the first link about a plurality of axes, and the second joint permits pivoting movement of the second link about a plurality of axes.
