Product Description
A tube chain conveyor is a continuous conveyor device with flexible driving components. It operates within a sealed, smooth material channel with rectangular or tubular sections. Utilizing the thrust force from the mobile chain disc, it makes the material and chain disc a continuous whole for efficient conveying.
Main Structure
- Tube body and chain disc
- Head wheel and tail wheel
- Feed inlet and discharge outlet
- Drive system and tension device
Working Principle
The system is designed for continuous conveying of bulk materials such as powder, small granules, and small lumps within a sealed tube channel.
(1) Horizontally Conveying: When conveying horizontally, material granules suffer thrust from the direction of motion. When the friction between material layers exceeds the outer friction from the tube wall, the material moves forward, forming a stable stream.
(2) Vertically Conveying: In vertical mode, granules suffer upper thrust from the chain disc. Downward feeding prevents upper material glissade, causing lateral compression and increasing inner friction. When this exceeds internal friction and gravity, the material is conveyed upward.
Key Features
- Compact Design: Light weight and small footprint, convenient for installation and maintenance.
- Dust-Free Operation: The discharge outlet doesn't require a dust catcher and can be filled with gas during conveying.
- Material Integrity: Smooth conveying along the tube minimizes material breakage even in curved conduits.
- Energy Efficient: Low consumption and economic running costs; the entire system is driven by a single motor.
- Anti-Blockage: The system is designed to prevent blockages and is suitable for various material morphologies.
