Highlights

Up to 80 m³/h high conveying capacities with up to 300 mm tube diameters
Heavy-duty performance over longer distances and higher lifts under harsh operating conditions
Fully sealed dust-proof construction eliminates explosion risks and prevents material degradation
Features automatic chain self-tensioning with integrated e-stop safety monitoring systems

Performance Features

Heavy-Duty Chain Drive System

Utilizes high-strength alloy round chain or plate link chain to handle abrasive, high-density, or high-temperature industrial bulk materials across long distances and elevated lifts.

Pneumatic Zero-Residue Discharge Valve

Features pneumatically operated discharge gates combined with specialized wiper discs, ensuring complete material emptying without residue or cross-contamination between product batches.

Flexible Three-Dimensional Pipeline Layouts

Configurable in Z-type, 3D, and vertical lift layouts to navigate complex factory spaces, reducing equipment footprint and eliminating intermediate transfer structures.

Automatic Tensioning and Safety Control

Tail self-tensioning mechanism integrates automatic e-stop sensors to monitor chain tension continuously, protecting equipment during chain break or system jams.

FAQ

How does the tubular drag chain conveyor prevent material degradation during conveying?

The system uses UHMW, Nylon, PTFE, or metal discs attached to round chains that gently push material through enclosed tubes, preventing friction heat and product breakage.

Is external dust collection equipment required for this conveyor system?

No, the fully enclosed, dust-sealed pipe structure ensures a clean working environment and eliminates dust leakage and dust explosion risks without requiring dust collectors.

Can the system be configured for complex plant layouts with space constraints?

Yes, flexible layouts including Inline, Z-type, 3D, and vertical lift options allow routing around existing machinery while minimizing overall equipment footprint.

What safety mechanisms protect the chain drive against jams or overload?

The tail section features an automatic self-tensioning system with integrated E-stop monitors that continuously track chain tension and stop operation during chain breaks or system jams.
