Abstract:
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.
