Tubular Drag Conveyor

Tubular drag conveyor incude two models---Cable drag and Chain drag.

Cable drag manily used for crispy and light food products conveying,such as Pets Food,Fried Rice,Dry food etc.

Ringchain drag mainly used for food powder,block material,chemicals.

Tubular drag conveyorPneumatic Conveyor

Pneumatics among the different types of conveyor systems are great for moving robust product long distances. Tubular drag conveyor also has the capability of long distances though with the added benefits of less segregation and breakage of fragile product. Tubular drag conveyor systems also consume about 1/10th the energy of pneumatic systems of same lengths.

Tubular drag conveyor VS Screw Auger Conveyor

Screw augers are a good choice for single direction conveying. Screw augers also are very simple and reliable by design. Tubular drag conveyor however is a better fit for changes in direction. Tubular drag conveyor is also simple by design, with one motor and a comparably compact footprint.

Tubular drag conveyor VS Bucket Conveyor

Bucket conveyors are a tried-and-true solution for vertical and inclined conveying. They're also popular for their compact footprints. Tubular drag conveyors stack up well against these types of conveyor systems because Tubular drag conveyors can do just as much upward conveying as bucket conveyors inside equally tight footprints. Plus Tubular drag conveyor outperforms when it comes to a dust-tight, enclosed design and greater directional flexibility. Ultra-sanitary applications are also more ideal for Tubular drag conveyor, as there are fewer potential places for pathogens to harbor inside a tubular drag conveyor.

Chain drag tubular conveyor VS Cable drag Tubular Conveyors

Cable tube conveyors are a solid technology known for their gentle, enclosed design, and similar flexibility. However, Tube chain conveyor systems are just as gentle as cable but are much stronger than cable. This translates into longer conveyor distances and greater heights possible. Chains also do not fray which means easier cleaning and better sanitation. Most importantly though, chains are virtually indestructible; they will not stretch over time, or worse, break in the middle of production. This is a decisive point for many customers of our Cable-to-Tube chain conveyor Retrofit program.
