Tubular Chain Conveyor Supplier Powder Transport System

Tubular Chain Conveyor Product Introduction

The tubular chain conveyor is an advanced enclosed conveying system that uses a chain-disc mechanism to transport materials smoothly inside a sealed pipeline. It is designed to replace traditional open conveyors and pneumatic systems in industries requiring clean, efficient, and flexible material transport.

Its compact structure and modular design allow easy integration into existing production lines, while ensuring high reliability and continuous operation.

Working principle

Step 1. Material is fed into the sealed inlet feeding port of the tubular conveyor system.

Step 2. The drive unit activates the chain with disc carriers inside the pipe.

Step 3. Discs push materials forward in a continuous, controlled movement.

Step 4. Materials move through horizontal, inclined, or vertical pipe sections.

Step 5. Multiple discharge ports allow flexible material output control.

Step 6. Tensioning system ensures stable chain operation and self-cleaning effect.

Step 7. Continuous enclosed conveying ensures dust-free and stable transport.
