Large capacity Tube Chain Disc Conveyor Sand Chain Disc Conveyor

Large capacity Tube Chain Disc Conveyor Sand Chain Disc Conveyor are mechanically driven conveyors that 'drag' material along the inside of a tube. They are designed to transfer finely and not so finely divided, flowable bulk materials from in-feed points to discharge points through a totally enclosed conduit. TDCs are positive displacement devices using close-running discs connected by a cable or metal links.They have been used successfully throughout a range of industries for over fifty years

Working principle

A cable or chain with discs spaced along its length and its ends connected to each other to form an endless loop is pulled by a motor driven sprocket within an enclosed tube. Changes in direction are facilitated by bends in the tubing or by corner housings for tighter radii. Discharge of the product is through 'outlet boxes'. Cable or chain and casing are routed back to the in-feed point in an endless loop.

Application
The tube chain conveyor is widely used in the following industries:
Food industry,such as wheat flour,grain,milk,starch,food additives etc.
Chemicals industry,such as painting,catbon black,titanium dioxide,ceramic powder etc.
Pharmaceuticals industry:such as dusting,medicine powder etc.
Mining and resources industry,such as mining powder,coal powder,aluminium oxide
Building material,such as sand,glass powder,cement,silica powder etc.
