Tubular Drag Conveyors: Silent and Dependable Excellence
Experience the pinnacle of conveying technology with tubular drag conveyors, designed for unparalleled performance and longevity. Whether you need to transport a diverse range of materials over short or extended distances, in any direction, our conveyors offer reliable solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our systems can be configured to traverse multiple levels and are customizable to seamlessly integrate into your unique layout. We pride ourselves on delivering only the highest-quality chain conveyors.
Key Benefits:
-
Fully Enclosed Conveyance: Material is transported within a completely sealed system, utilizing a sprocket drive to pull a robust chain and flight assembly through an enclosed casing. This method preserves the integrity of the product, preventing separation, degradation, and dust emission.
-
Energy Efficiency: Our innovative tubular drag conveyor design boasts low horsepower requirements, thanks to the consistent drag force it generates. This results in substantial energy cost savings compared to other conveyor types.
-
Versatile Material Handling: These conveyors excel in transporting challenging materials, including high-moisture, abrasive, blended, friable, compactable, large-particle, and smear products, without compromising their quality.
-
Flexibility in Layout: A single conveyor can serve multiple purposes, conveying material vertically, horizontally, at any angle, and around corners. Inlets and outlets can be positioned as needed, offering a multitude of layout options.
-
Patented Chain Technology: Our high-torque, low-speed chain conveyors can start and stop under full load, unlike tubular cable conveyors that require starting empty.
Optional Features:
-
Self-Cleaning Discharge Gate: This exclusive gate design prevents material buildup by opening and closing flat against the convex pipe, ensuring no material is trapped.
-
Brush Box: Dual spinning brushes effectively remove sticky material from flights and chains, preventing carryover and facilitating complete material discharge. Additional cleaning options, such as air knives and vibration boxes, are also available.
-
Auto Tensioner: Our patented air-over-hydraulic auto tensioner minimizes unexpected downtime and significantly reduces maintenance. Built-in sensors maintain optimal chain performance automatically, even under fluctuating loads.
-
Custom Flight and Chain Configurations: Our engineers work closely with you to select the perfect chain and flight design combination tailored to your specific process and material handling requirements. We offer link and pin-type chains, known for their resistance to fatigue, wear, and stretching, as well as Hapman’s exclusive rivetless and seal-pin chain options for broader application compatibility.
