Tubular Drag Conveyors are continuous conveying equipment used for transporting powdery, small granular, and small block-like bulk materials. They can be combined for horizontal, inclined, and vertical conveyance. Within a sealed pipeline, the material moves along the pipeline by means of the chain plates as the driving components. When conveying horizontally, the material particles are pushed by the chain plates in the direction of movement; when the internal friction between the material layers is greater than the external friction between the material and the pipe wall, the material moves forward along the chain plates, forming a stable material flow; when conveying vertically, the material particles in the pipe are pushed upward by the chain plates. Because the lower feeding prevents the upper material from sliding down, a lateral side pressure is generated, thereby enhancing the internal friction of the material. When the internal friction between the materials is greater than the external friction between the material and the inner wall of the pipe and the material's own weight, the material moves upward along the chain plates, forming a continuous material flow.

Advantages of Tubular Chain Conveyor

This volumetric conveying device can achieve the transportation and measurement of materials, is easy to achieve centralized control, improves the degree of automation, and meets the environmental protection requirements of modern enterprises.

The structure is compact, occupying a small space, and the conveying direction can be changed in three dimensions.

The conveyed materials are in a sealed state from the inlet to the outlet flange. No dust collector is required at the outlet, and gas can be filled during the material transportation, ensuring that no dust leaks into the environment during transportation.

The materials are smoothly conveyed along the tube, with basically no internal movement, so there is less material damage, and the slow curved path transportation causes few material particles to produce debris.

Depending on different feeding conditions, the distance between the inlets can be more than 10 meters apart.

The sprocket has the characteristics of wear resistance, no chain detachment, stable operation, reasonable distribution of load, and can effectively extend the overall service life of the equipment.

The special conveying disc has an extremely low friction coefficient and stable conveying capacity.
