GTX En-Masse Chain Conveyors
Versatile and highly durable bulk handling conveyor
Guttridge Chain & Flight Conveyors play a vital role in conveying and storage systems, effectively handling powdered, granular, flaked, or pelleted materials. Known for their simple and robust design, along with easy maintenance, Guttridge Chain & Flight conveyors offer cost-efficient handling for manufacturing and processing.
Guttridge GTX Chain Conveyor Range
Guttridge Chain Conveyors have been continuously developed over many years and are available in four popular configurations – Single Strand, Twin Trace Shrouded, Soft Flight and Superflow. The modular design allows any configuration to be easily and quickly built up to suit a customer’s exact requirements. Many customisation options are also available.

Versatile Material Handling
The Guttridge Chain Conveyor range is designed to handle a wide variety of materials, from free-flowing powders and granules to materials with poor flow characteristics. This versatility makes them ideal for use in a number of different industries. The range is available in four popular configurations: Single Strand, Twin Shrouded, Soft Flight, and Troughed bottom (Superflow), with each design offering unique benefits tailored to the material being conveyed.
Single Strand Chain Conveyors
Perfect for free-flowing products and general use on flat conveyors, the Guttridge single strand chain conveyor features a single steel chain with integral flight bars running on a steel or UHMW noise reduction strip.
Twin Strand Chain Conveyors
Ideal for customers looking to handle more delicate products such as pet food or animal feed pellets, where maintaining product integrity is crucial, the Guttridge twin strand chain conveyor features interconnecting flight bars.
Angleveyor Chain Conveyors
Guttridge Angleveyor chain conveyors are used when the conveyor needs to operate at an incline, typically between 15-45°. The soft flighting aids in moving products during inclined sections, ensuring smooth and efficient handling.
Superflow Chain Conveyors
Guttridge Superflow conveyors are designed to retain minimal amounts of residual product, making them ideal for applications where minimising product cross-contamination between runs is crucial.
Customisable Design
Guttridge bin dischargers are designed for application-specific needs, ensuring that they are performing optimally and reliably. The design is adjusted via varying screw flighting pitch, style, speed, and trough taper this is then tailored to each use case. This flexibility helps to prevent issues such as bridging, uneven flow and compaction ensuring a smooth and efficient discharge.
