Chain-Vey tubular drag conveyors can move almost any wet or dry food, powder, and bulk solid.
Tubular conveyor Capacities
Tubular drag conveyor systems offer flexible configurations and capacities. All of our systems are custom built, and are ideal for product flow as high as 2,000 cubic feet per hour (57 m3/hr).
175 ft3/hr or 5 m3/hr
3″ diameter drag chain conveyors are great for malted barley. It is the popular choice for seeds and crumbs as well.
650 ft3/hr or 18 m3/hr
4″ diameter drag chain conveyors are a great fit for green and whole bean roasted coffee, oats, pecans and almonds.
1,000 ft3/hr or 28 m3/hr
5″ diameter drag chain conveyors are great for moving pet food, breakfast cereal, peanuts, whole walnuts and cashews.
1,400 ft3/hr or 40 m3/hr
6″ diameter drag chain conveyors are great for any application in scaled process systems like ground coffee or bulk powder.
2,000 ft3/hr or 57 m3/hr
8” diameter drag chain conveyors are great for large scale operations; perfect for bulk ingredients, grains, and finished foods.
Designs
All of our tubular drag conveyor systems are robust, sanitary, gentle, and quiet. The robust, low-friction disks are designed for lower maintenance costs and energy consumption. Chain-Vey offers both standard Quiet Pucks and High-Efficiency Pucks for special application.
