Description

Versatile Conveying Solution for Powder, Granular, and Small Lump Materials

The Drag Tube Chain Conveyor, also known as a Tubular Drag Conveyor, represents cutting-edge technology in continuous material handling systems. This sophisticated enclosed conveying equipment excels in transporting powder, granular, and small lump bulk materials through horizontal, inclined, and vertical pathways—offering unmatched flexibility for complex facility layouts and multi-directional material flow requirements.

Advanced Working Principle for Reliable Material Transport

The Tubular Chain Conveyor operates on a precision-engineered principle that ensures consistent material flow regardless of orientation:

Horizontal Transport Mechanism

During horizontal conveying operations, the drive system propels the chain along the sealed pipeline, creating forward thrust on material particles. When the internal friction between material layers exceeds the external friction between materials and the pipe wall, the bulk material moves cohesively with the chain plates, establishing a stable and continuous material flow pattern.

Vertical Transport Mechanism

In vertical conveying applications, the Enclosed Chain Conveyor utilizes specialized chain plates to provide upward thrust to material particles. The strategic lower feeding configuration prevents downward material migration, generating transverse lateral forces that enhance internal material friction. When this internal friction surpasses both the pipe wall friction and material weight, the conveyed substance moves upward with the chain plates, creating an efficient vertical material flow.

Key System Components for Optimal Performance

The Industrial Tubular Drag Conveyor incorporates several precision-engineered components:
Sealed Tubular Housing: Prevents material contamination and environmental exposure
High-Strength Drive Chain: Ensures reliable material propulsion throughout the system
Specialized Chain Plates: Optimized for maximum material engagement and transport efficiency
Advanced Drive Unit: Delivers consistent power for smooth operation
Precision Corner Units: Facilitates directional changes with minimal material disruption
Customizable Inlet/Outlet Points: Allows for multiple material entry and discharge locations
