Solution's in the pipeline: Spiroflow looks at the function, performance and benefits of tubular chain/cable drag conveyors

摘要

The numerous health, safety and hygiene standards for the chemical, food, and general processing industries, in the USA and Europe in particular, mandate the need for enclosed conveying systems for dry bulk solids, additives and ingredients in whatever form - powders, granules, flakes, pellets and so on. When considering equipment to transport finely divided, flowable bulk materials, the mechanical tubular chain/cable drag conveyor should always be considered. This is truly a "problem solver in a pipeline" and is a concept that, while often overlooked and by the food industry in particular, has been serving a wide range of industries for well over 50 years. In addition to the food and chemical industries, it has found application in the waste water treatment, minerals, brick-making, cement and glass industries too.
