For simple to complex
conveying paths

Our tube chain conveyors offer a wide range of applications in the optimization and
automation of operational processes for almost all industries. Thereby, we individually adapt
the tube chain conveyor to the complexity and challenges of your conveying path.

Simple conveying path

Horizontal, inclined and vertical conveying over short distances for small-scale operational optimizations, e.g. to pick up a bulk material and discharge it into a container at one location.

Maximum flexibility with any number of inlets and outlets. The possible integration of empty and full detectors ensures fast added value and an automatic operation.

Installed in just a few hours.

Demanding conveying path

Horizontal, inclined and vertical conveying over longer distances with challenging conditions, e.g. to pick up product at multiple points and discharge it into inventory machines or silos.

Material flow optimization with automated, rule-based product pick-up, transport and delivery - often with the goal of replacing manual labor and big-bag storage as well as saving personnel.

Installation in a few days.
Return on investment in a few weeks to months.

Complex conveyor system with several tube chain conveyors interconnected and conveying over several levels.

Complex conveying path

Complex conveying paths where the system is to be seamlessly integrated into a variety of machines, such as extruders, elevators, mixers, mills and many more. We also take care of detailed planning and detailed engineering.

Strong automation of production processes, often to reduce human errors as well as to increase batch output and quality.

Great return on investment in just a few months.

Components

The main components
of the tube chain conveyor

Tubes

High quality tubes in which the chain runs, providing support and protection for the materials being transported.

Material

Stainless steel or galvanized steel

Drive Station

Robust and high quality drive station in different power levels, which moves the chain and is thus the heart of the tube chain conveyor.

Material

Galvanized steel or stainless steel

Chain

A durable stainless steel chain with carriers that transports the material.

Material

Stainless steel or galvanized steel with nylon carriers.

Diverting corners

Strong and durable corners that divert the material flow on the conveyor line by e.g. 90 degrees or 180 degrees.

Material

Stainless steel, cast iron or plastic.

Connecting sleeves

Stable connection of tubes to allow and maximize the conveying distance.

Material

Stainless steel or galvanized steel

Outlets

Durable outlets that discharge material from the conveyor line. Open, pneumatic or electric available.

Material

Stainless steel or galvanized steel

Inlets

Robust inlets that guide material onto the conveyor line. Sizes are variable to suit your requirements. Also available electrically.

Material

Types of materials used in the tube chain conveying

We transport almost all common bulk materials with our equipment. It is important to note that the diameter of your bulk material is of concern due to the 8-11 cm distance between the carriers in the chain. Common bulk materials in our equipment include:

Lead oxides	Cast iron dust	Quartz powder
Brewer's grains	Gluten	Rapeseed meal
Carbonate	Urea	Rice
Calcium silicide	Wood flour	Rice flakes
Iron oxides	Hops	Salt
Supplements	Wood chips	Silicates
Whole almonds	Coffee	Soybean meal
Crushed almonds	Cocoa beans	Soybean meal cake
Grain	Calcium carbonate	Sunflower meal
Grain meal	Bran	Starch
Glue flakes	Components for plastics production	Road salt
Spices	Plastic granules	Tea
PVC types	Malt	Grape seeds
Rape cake	Melanin	Titanium dioxide
Wood pellets	Talc	Sugar

Adaptation to specific dimensions and requirements

Absolutely! With our tube chain conveyor, you have the flexibility to adapt the conveying path to changing needs at any time. With our flexible modular system, you can effortlessly adapt your conveyor path to your needs by simply adding deflection corners, tubes, inlets or outlets, and an extended chain. Unlike the competition, you don't always have to buy a completely new system with a new motor from us. We like to say that our conveyor is like 'Playmobil for adults' because it can be easily customized to meet any need.

Lead time for delivery and installation

With our fast delivery times of about 4-8 weeks and quick installations of about 1-5 days, we can set up even complex systems covering hundreds of meters in just one week.

Assembly procedure

The installation process is user-friendly and we recommend hiring an experienced lead installer from us to work with 2-4 of your employees to set up the system to keep your costs low. Alternatively, we can provide complete installation, but most customers choose the option of working with their own staff and our lead installer.

Maintenance requirements

The maintenance requirement of our tube chain conveyors is low, as we focus on quality to provide you with a reliable conveyor. Common wear parts, such as the chain, can be replaced every 4-5 years (at a reasonable price). In the case of vertical conveying, deflection corners with internal bearings may become clogged after a long period of time, requiring a short cleaning effort. To avoid this, we recommend deflection corners with external bearings. Nevertheless, some customers opt for the variant with an internal bearing for cost reasons. Apart from these two parts, the conveyor requires practically no maintenance.

Integration into existing production lines or plants

Yes, our tube chain conveyor can be integrated into existing production processes. Through inlets and outlets, as well as combinations with receiving augers and other conveying equipment, we can extract the product to be transported from the existing production line and transport it further.

Warranties

We generally offer the possibility of testing your bulk material in our test facility to ensure that unknown bulk materials can be transported. In certain cases we also sign specifications. We have already delivered hundreds of plants for different bulk materials and therefore have extensive experience. We are sure that the conveying of your bulk material will work if we confirm it.

Costs and payment options

The price of our tube chain conveyors is mainly determined by the conveying distance, the required tube and chain length, and the power of the driving machine. Furthermore, the number of deflection corners and inlets and outlets influence the price. Payment terms are negotiable and we will work with you to find the best possible compromise. Leasing options are also available. All in all, we can say that we are often less expensive than the competition while offering higher customer satisfaction and quality leadership. Just ask for a non-binding consultation and offer.

Energy efficiency

Our tube chain conveyors require significantly less energy compared to pneumatic filling with high air speed, which can lead to higher wear and grain destruction. Savings of up to 70-90% are realistic. For the required energy consumption in kw/h of our conveyors, please refer to the performance table. However, this depends significantly on the conveying path: The longer the path and the more deflection corners are required, the lower the power of the conveyor and the more energy must be expended or a more powerful drive machine must be used.
