The Tube Chain Conveyor is a state-of-the-art continuous conveyor system featuring a flexible driving component. Encased within a sealed, smooth, rectangular, and tubular section, this system utilizes the thrust force generated by the mobile chain disc to seamlessly integrate the material and chain disc, creating a continuous and efficient conveyance process.
Designed for the efficient conveyance of bulk materials, the Tube Chain Conveyor is perfect for transporting powders, small granules, and small lumps within a sealed tube channel.
● Horizontal Conveying
During horizontal conveyance, material granules experience thrust in the direction of motion. When the friction between material layers surpasses the outer friction from the tube wall, the material advances, forming a stable material stream propelled by the chain disc.
● Vertical Conveying
In vertical conveyance, material granules receive an upward thrust from the chain disc. Lateral compression increases inner friction, allowing the material to ascend as a continuous stream when friction surpasses the tube's inner wall resistance and material weight.
FAQ
1. What materials are suitable for the Tube Chain Conveyor?
It is ideal for bulk materials including various powders, small granules, and small lumps used in chemical, mining, and grain industries.
2. Does the system prevent dust leakage?
Yes, the system is fully sealed within a tubular section, ensuring a dust-free environment without the need for extra filtration at discharge.
3. Can the conveyor be installed in tight spaces?
Absolutely. The Tube Chain Conveyor is known for its compact design and small footprint, making it suitable for layouts with limited area.
4. How does the system handle vertical transport?
The system uses a chain disc to provide upward thrust. The lateral pressure and inner friction within the sealed tube allow materials to ascend continuously.
5. Is the conveyor energy efficient?
Yes, the entire conveying system is typically driven by a single motor, resulting in low energy consumption and economical operation.
6. Does the conveying process damage fragile materials?
No, the material moves smoothly and slowly along curved conduits, which significantly minimizes breakage and protects material integrity.
