The Tubular Chain Conveyor System is a highly efficient continuous conveying solution designed for transporting powder, small granules, and bulk materials. It allows horizontal, inclined, and vertical conveying in a closed pipeline, ensuring dust-free and safe operation.
Inside the sealed tube, the conveyor chain with discs (chain plates) serves as the driving component, moving materials smoothly along the pipeline. During horizontal conveying, the material is pushed forward by the chain discs when the internal friction between particles exceeds the external friction against the tube wall, forming a stable material flow.
During vertical conveying, the chain discs generate upward thrust, while the material at the bottom prevents the upper material from sliding down. This creates lateral pressure, which increases internal friction between particles. When the internal friction is greater than the external friction and the self-weight of the material, continuous vertical conveying is achieved.
