Product Details The tubular chain conveyor is a mechanical system used for transporting bulk materials (agri-food, pet food, animal feed, pellets, thermoplastic elastomers TPE, and many others). The tubular conveyor can be used to transport products of various sizes, types, and weights. Products are transported delicately and quickly, avoiding dust leakage. Products can be moved from one place to another, covering large distances and multi-axis directions (vertical, horizontal, lateral). What is a tubular chain conveyor? The tubular chain conveyor can safely and efficiently transport large quantities of material over long distances. It is suitable for conveying various granular, powdery, fragile, and delicate products, such as powders, chemicals, plastic granules, thermoplastic elastomers TPE, pet food, agri-food, animal feed, pellets, dried fruits, and candies. How does the tubular conveyor work? The conveying system consists of tubes, bends/corners, and loading/unloading hoppers. Operating Steps: 1. The product is introduced through the loading hopper. 2. The product is dragged into the tube by a chain equipped with curved plastic discs to ensure precise flow. The diameter of the discs varies according to the product and customer requirements. 3. The final step is to discharge the product from a stainless steel hopper equipped with a shutter valve that can open or close the tube to increase or decrease the product drop. Models: BIG 60: Tube diameter 2.4 inches - Disc diameter 1.9 mm - 70.7 ft/h. Ideal for malt, grains, animal feed, plastic materials. BIG 100: Tube diameter 4 inches - Disc diameter 3 inches - 424 ft/h. Ideal for seeds, pet food, grains, pellet products. BIG 160: Tube diameter 6.3 inches - Disc diameter 5.2 inches - 1060 ft/h. Ideal for coffee beans, bulk raw materials, grains, wood pellets. Reasons to choose the tubular chain conveyor: Modular design: The equipment can be configured according to any customer need, suitable for horizontal and vertical transport. Fragile materials are transported gently, with minimal mechanical action, ensuring product integrity. Low energy consumption – more than 50% more efficient than other transport systems. Easy to clean and maximum hygiene standards: specially designed openings allow you to clean the inner surface in seconds. Durable – made of AISI 304 stainless steel, a wear-resistant material. A single motor can form a product loading/unloading circuit, without the need for complex systems or numerous motors. Features and Benefits Easy to install.
