The tube chain conveyor is a state-of-the-art, continuous conveyor device featuring a flexible driving component. It operates within a material channel that is sealed and smooth with either a rectangular or tubular cross-section. By utilizing the thrust force generated by a mobile chain disc, the material and chain disc combine to form a continuous, efficient conveyor system.
Main Structure
The tube chain conveyor consists of a robust tube body,a durable chain disc,head wheel and tail wheel,feed inlet and discharge outlet,drive system and tension device.
Working Principle
The tube chain conveyor is designed for the efficient continuous conveyance of bulk materials like powder,,small granules, and small lumps. Within the sealed tube channel, materials move along the path propelled by the chain piece used as the driving component.
(1) Horizontal Conveying
During horizontal conveying, material granules are driven by a thrust in the direction of motion. When the internal friction between material layers exceeds the external friction with the tube wall, the material moves forward, forming a stable material stream carried by the chain disc.
(2) Vertical Conveying
In vertical conveying, material granules face upward thrust from the chain disc. The downward feeding material prevents upper material slippage, causing lateral compression and increasing internal friction. When this internal friction surpasses the friction with the tube’s inner wall and the material's own weight, the material is efficiently conveyed upward by the chain disc, forming a continuous material stream.
Features
The tube chain conveyor is recognized in standardized schemes for powder-making,,oil-making, and storage devices in our country. It is a selected product across many industries, boasting the following key features:
1,Compact configuration,lightweight,small footprint,ease of manufacturing,installation,,use, and maintenance
2,No need for a dust catcher at the discharge outlet. It can fill with gas during material conveyance.
3,Smooth material conveyance with minimal breakage. The curved conduit ensures even small granules are handled gently.
4,Low energy consumption and economical operation, driven by a single motor.
5,The system is blockage-free and suitable for various material morphologies.
