Automatic Tubular Chain Conveyor System For Bulk Powder Granule Handling With Flexible Layout And Low Maintenance
Tubular Chain Conveyor System
The Automatic Tubular Chain Conveyor System is an efficient conveying solution designed for transporting powder, granule, pellet, and other dry bulk materials. The system uses a closed pipeline structure combined with a continuous chain and conveying discs, allowing materials to move safely and smoothly between different production areas.
Designed for factories requiring reliable automatic material transfer, this system can be installed according to different production layouts, including horizontal, vertical, and inclined conveying routes, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
With a sealed conveying structure and stable operating performance, the system helps reduce material loss, improve production efficiency, and create a cleaner working environment. It is widely used in plastic processing, chemical manufacturing, agricultural materials, mineral processing, and other industries.
Automatic Solution for Bulk Material Transportation
Industrial production often requires continuous transportation of raw materials between storage areas and processing equipment. Traditional feeding methods may require more manual operation and increase production management costs.
The Automatic Tubular Chain Conveyor System provides a continuous material transfer solution by automatically moving materials through enclosed pipelines. The closed structure prevents materials from spreading during transportation and helps maintain consistent feeding performance.
The system can be connected with storage silos, feeding units, mixers, extrusion equipment, and other production machines to form an integrated automatic material handling system.
Features of Tubular Chain Conveyor System
- Enclosed pipeline design allows materials to be transported in a controlled environment, reducing dust leakage and protecting materials from external contamination
- Continuous disc chain structure provides stable conveying performance for different types of dry materials including pellets, granules, and powders
- Flexible configuration allows adaptation to different factory spaces with customizable conveying direction, inlet/outlet positions, and installation distance
- Optimized mechanical structure reduces wear on main components and provides reliable operation with lower maintenance requirements
Working Principle
The Tubular Chain Conveyor System operates through a motor-driven chain installed inside a sealed pipe. Conveying discs are fixed at regular intervals on the chain and move continuously along the conveying route.
When materials enter the feeding section, the moving discs push the materials forward inside the pipeline. The materials are transferred smoothly to the discharge position without direct contact with the external environment.
The system can be designed with multiple feeding and discharge points, allowing one conveyor system to supply materials to different production machines.
Main Applications
The Automatic Tubular Chain Conveyor System is suitable for transporting various bulk materials in industrial production:
- For plastic processing factories: transfers resin pellets, plastic granules, additives, and recycled materials from storage containers to mixers, extruders, and automatic feeding systems
- For chemical and industrial material processing: handles powder additives, dry granules, and other bulk raw materials requiring enclosed transportation
- For agricultural and mineral material applications: provides continuous and stable transportation between storage and production equipment
