The Schrage Tube Chain Conveyor
The removal of fines from a dust collector is a problem that has been with industry for many years. The tube chain conveyor solves this in a very elegant way. Previously, the two preferred methods were to either:
-
Use a pneumatic conveyor which is fed material via rotary valves or
-
Use a combination of screw conveyors, rotary valves and an elevator
A common source of problems on both of these alternatives is the rotary valves. If a product is abrasive, the vanes of the valve wear quickly and need frequent replacement. The tube chain conveyor solves this. Due to the fact that it is a disk in tube design, the conveyor has an inherent seal over approximately 2m length. Therefore each inlet can operate at different pressures and still feed into the conveyor directly.
The tube chain conveyor can replace either situation with a single conveyor giving considerable gains in plant reliability. Furthermore, as the power consumption is relatively small (see technical for this) energy efficiency increases.
