The conveying means for filling, metering, and discharging
Conveying principle
The tube conveyor consists of a single chain enclosed in a tube. The chain is equipped with scraper disk. It circulates in the tube system and the material is taken along in the space between the individual disks. Material is continuosly taken up and discharged. Circular segments of 90° and 180° deflect the chain via guide rollers. The material can be fed and discharged anywhere in the tube circuit.
Materials
Basically any powdery to granular material up to a grain size of approx. 20 mm can be transported. Grain size distribution, shape and hardness are the factors determining the conveyor dimensions for handling larger grain sizes.
The transport of viscous media e.g. mud or water bath material is possible thanks to use of impervious scraper disks.
Typical materials are food, fodder, chemical products, sand, limestone, fly ash, raw meal, pellets, granulates, fine coal, mud, waste, biomass and the like.
Main fields of application
SMT tube conveyors are used as filling, metering, and discharge systems in the chemical industry, the food and fodder industries, garbage incineration plants, composting plants, building materials handling, coal charging and ash removal operations, hopper discharge and silo filling, and as return conveyors for fines.
Advantages and benefits for the user
- High conveying capacity with variable scraper disk spacing
- Transport of viscous materials due to the use of impervious scraper disks
- Drainage of material conveyed by water traps installed in the conveying section
- Variable inclination from 0° until 90°
- Favorable overall size permits integration into almost any existing conveyor system
- Modest power requirement as the material transported has only little contact with the
Features
- The tube conveyor is a single chain conveyor.
- A tube system forms the conveying and return sections.
- The circulating round –link steel chain is equipped with wear-resistant scraper disks.
- Drive is provided by a bevel gear.
