Description
Conveyor solution for materials requiring flexible layout
The tubular chain conveyor or tubular cable conveyor operates at low speed.
This low speed guarantees transport without product damage, and makes it available in ATEX versions. It is particularly suitable for transferring fragile products.
The system is totally dust-tight and self-cleaning. Its design has virtually no dead space.
The discs, molded to FDA-approved food-grade quality, are mounted on the links of a stainless steel chain or steel cable that carries the product through the tube.
The chain acts as a seal as the product is transferred through the tube, enabling a conveyor to make multiple changes of direction.
There are 2 types of conveyor: the aeromechanical conveyor (aero-conveyor) and the tubular chain or cable conveyor.

Features
Technical specification
Chain conveyor
The chain conveyor has a sealed design.
The discs, made of synthetic material, are mounted at regular intervals along a chain or cable. Motorization and a drive wheel indexing the disks rotate the cable or chain.
These same discs ensure the system's self-cleaning.
- The use of chain depends on the power required and the length of the conveyor.
- Aeromechanics using cables enables the equipment to be used in the food industry.
Tubular chain conveyors or tubular cable conveyors
Disks are molded and manufactured in FDA-approved food-grade quality. They are mounted on the links of a food-grade stainless steel chain, for use in food and pharmaceutical applications in a sanitary environment.
It can be fed via multiple infeed points, and can discharge product at several outfeed points.
The tubular conveyor can be installed on a mobile structure, particularly during truck loading operations.
Its high efficiency also enables heavy, demanding products to be conveyed at high flow rates (50 t/h), making it suitable for all sectors of activity.
5 tube diameter sizes are available: 115, 135, 160, 200 and 270.
