Product Description: Tubular Drag Conveyor System with Rotary Valves for Bulk Material Handling
The structural drag chain conveyor is built for ultra-heavy-duty applications, moving at a slower pace than other conveyors, but capable of handling a wide variety of difficult-to-convey materials. This system ensures gentle handling, minimizing material degradation, and is completely enclosed to eliminate dust and contamination.
The system comprises a series of straight and curved pipes connected to housings, designed specifically for your site and application needs. The conveyor forms a closed circuit where products can enter and exit through multiple chutes. As the drag chain conveyor operates, discs drag materials through the circuit, powered by a sprocket at one end. Additional sprockets can be added to facilitate frictionless direction changes or reduce the system load.
This tubular chain conveyor solution is ideal for conveying bulk materials such as powder, small particles, and lumps, in horizontal, inclined, or vertical orientations. It’s also suitable for conveying in explosion-proof environments.
The system can be customized based on material characteristics, conveying distance, and other site-specific requirements, including those for explosion-proof areas.
