For business owners who operate production facilities, having a reliable and efficient conveying system is key to ensuring maximum productivity. Outdated and unreliable conveyors often fail to meet production needs. The following information will provide you with a detailed description of the three important benefits that tubular drag conveyors can bring to production facilities.
Tailor-made sizes to meet diverse production needs
Since production facilities need to move materials of varying sizes and weights, the best conveying system should be tailored to each facility. Tubular drag conveyor systems are available in three different diameters to maximize production efficiency.
2-inch diameter pipe is best for handling light, small materials such as seeds, feed, small grains and coffee. 4-inch diameter pipe is suitable for production facilities that handle larger materials, including coffee beans, flax seeds and peanuts. For facilities that need to handle heavier, bulkier materials such as pet food, shelled walnuts and dense powders, choose 6-inch diameter pipe.
Easy maintenance and worry-free cleaning
These conveyors have a limited number of parts, so failure rates are extremely low and maintenance is simple and quick. Key components of these conveyor systems include hoppers, drive units, inspection stations, sweepers, compression fittings, inlets and diverters.
All models of pipes can be dry cleaned. Wet cleaning is also possible for the two larger conveyor models. Cleaning equipment such as brush boxes, air knives and polyurethane scrapers can also be equipped to further speed up the cleaning process.
Efficient Operation and Energy Savings
When production facility managers adopt tubular drag conveyors, the efficiency of these systems will significantly increase productivity. Engineers work closely with each production facility manager to tailor the system to the needs of each facility and the materials handled. At the same time, tubular conveyor systems consume less electricity when operating, so they have excellent energy efficiency.
