The Tubular Drag Chain Conveyor is a continuous conveying equipment specifically designed for transporting loose materials such as powders, granules, and small blocks. It is fully enclosed and dust-free, ensuring that dust does not leak into the environment. Additionally, its layout is highly flexible, allowing for easy placement in both new and old factories. It can be arranged horizontally, vertically, or with turns, and is not restricted by the size of the workshop area. Therefore, it is a key equipment for achieving automated and dust-free material transportation on production lines in industries such as chemical engineering, new energy, and lithium battery.
How Does The Tubular Drag Chain Conveyor Work?
- Inside the equipment is a circular closed-loop chain. Uniformly, wear-resistant conveying discs are fixed on the chain, and the entire assembly is completely enclosed within the pipeline. During operation, the motor and reducer provide power, driving the chain to move in a circular and uniform manner within the pipeline.
- When the materials are discharged from the sealed outlet of the source silo and enter the internal pipeline, under the drive of the driving device, the continuously rotating chains and discs inside the pipeline form a stable mechanical thrust, pushing the materials to move smoothly and uniformly forward along the horizontal direction, and finally reaching the discharge outlet to complete the unloading.
- In addition, it can also undertake the task of material transportation. Its powerful mechanical traction force overcomes gravity and steadily lifts the materials to the height of the mixing tank or other loading platforms located at the desired position, either horizontally or at a large inclination angle. Both horizontal and inclined transportation are carried out in a fully sealed state, effectively preventing potential dust problems.
Tubular Drag Chain Conveyor Structure
The structure of the Tube Chain Conveyor mainly consists of the drive device, the chain, the discs/scrapers, the conveying pipeline, the tensioning device, etc. It can be customized according to different needs and can also be used as a supporting equipment for ton-bag unloading machines and automatic unloading machines to achieve dust-free unloading and feeding.
Tubular Drag Chain Conveyor Features
- Fully Sealed Dust-Free Transportation
Fully sealed volumetric material transportation, the materials are not directly exposed to the air, ensuring no dust leakage into the environment during transportation, meeting the environmental protection requirements of modern enterprises and eliminating the need to install dust collectors at the outlet.
- Can Be Flexibly Arranged In Three Dimensions
Compact structure, small space occupation, flexible layout, capable of three-dimensional arrangement to change the conveying direction.
- Low-Speed Material Push
The materials are only subjected to the thrust of the chain disk within the pipe. There is basically no internal movement, so the materials suffer less damage. The slow curved path transportation causes very few material particles to generate debris, ensuring the integrity of the materials.
- Multiple Material Input And Output
Due to the unique structure of the tubular conveyor body, it can achieve multiple material input through multiple input ports and multiple material output through multiple output ports, with accurate material level monitoring.
- Long Conveying Distance
Depending on the different feeding conditions, the distances between the import points can be more than 10 meters apart. The horizontal conveying distance can reach 80 meters, and the lifting height can be 40 meters.
- Smooth Operation And Wear Resistance
The special material conveyor chain disc has a low friction coefficient and excellent conveying performance.
