Abstract
A chain conveyor for gravimetrically measuring/dosing materials, especially bulk materials. The conveyor includes a housing/trough in which at least two chain conveyors with strip-shaped driving elements attached thereto rotate, wherein a measuring bridge that is supported on at least one force measuring device is arranged between the inlet and an outlet hole. The driving elements are mounted with multiple articulations on the conveyor chains, more particularly, said driving elements are inserted with positive-fit by lateral hinge bolts in the chain links located on the upper edge and configured to be placed flatly in the measuring bridge.
