Robust heavy-duty tubular chain drag conveyor launched

Chainflow is a new heavy-duty tubular chain drag conveyor from Spiroflow, which has been introduced to meet evolving industry needs.

It is said to provide a more robust alternative to medium-duty cable drag conveyors and a more economical alternative to ultra heavy-duty structural link and pin chain drag conveyors.

The conveyor is designed for the gentle handling of powders and granules – particularly fragile products. It enables processors to convey or batch ingredients using a hygienic disc and chain assembly.

“Our Chainflow conveyor is the perfect solution for applications that fall between cable drag and ultra heavy-duty structural chain drag conveyors,” says James Podevyn, Spiroflow’s director of sales.

“The Chainflow’s crevice-free material contact surfaces of stainless steel chain and moulded UHMWPE [ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene] discs are ideal for food-grade applications.”

It delivers fast conveying at up to 10.5m3/h. Processors can convey over long distances with maximum straight line lengths of up to 76m per conveyor.
