The carrier plates are welded perpendicular to chain, during horizontal movement of chain the carrier plate pushes the material horizontally along the conveyor carrying chain, when the chain travels vertically the carrier plates will carry the material upward. During the movement of chain at the bend the material will be pushed to end and carried upward.
