The invention relates to scrapers for link chains of in particular double center scraper chain conveyors, comprising a one-part scraper body with a head web connecting two lateral scraper wings and at least one insertion pocket for insertion of a horizontal chain link of the link chain and securing scraper by means of a detachable scraper-securing element. In order to improve the entrainment of scrapers connected to the horizontal chain links and to be able to use the scrapers even with novel link chains, grooves extend in insides of scraper wings and outsides of an intermediate web over the height of limb beds up to head web and form receivers for entrainment projections on the outer surfaces of limbs of horizontal chain links. The invention also relates to scraper-securing element.
