Performance Features

High-Efficiency Direct Drive System

Head direct drive optimizes power transmission up to 96% while VFD control allows precise speed regulation, minimizing energy consumption and material degradation during continuous batch conveying.

Specially Coated Cable and Disc Assembly

Engineered with 1-piece or 2-piece UHMW/nylon discs on nylon-coated stainless-steel cable to gently push fragile products without friction heat or dust generation.

Automatic Tensioning with Safety Monitoring

Tail self-tensioning technology automatically maintains optimal cable tightness while integrated safety sensors trigger emergency stops to prevent cable breakage or system jams.

Versatile Layouts and CIP Compliance

Adaptable in Inline, HVH, Loop, and U-Shape layouts with GMP, FDA-approved materials, and Clean-in-Place (CIP) options including air knives and sponge discs.

FAQ

What is the main difference between Tubular Drag Cable Conveyor and traditional screw conveyors?

Cable conveyors use gentle disc-and-cable technology inside enclosed tubes, preventing product degradation and reducing energy consumption while maintaining dust-free operation compared to high-friction screw flights.

What cleaning options are available for hygiene-critical applications?

We offer multiple cleaning accessories including brush boxes, 360° air knives, urethane wiper discs, cellulose sponge discs, and wet cleaning options suitable for CIP compliance.

How does the system handle complex plant layouts with multiple elevation changes?

The flexible cable routing allows custom multi-plane configurations such as Horizontal-Vertical-Horizontal (HVH), U-Shape, and Loop layouts with multiple inlets and discharges.
