Horizontal, Vertical or Upright
There are 3 main types of Tube Chain Conveyor in the Schrage range to suit different needs and types of materials. This summary provides a brief insight to the three basic types.
Horizontal / Flat (tubes side by side)
- Useful for any bulk material.
- Our most commonly supplied conveyor.
- Helpful when materials have poor flowability.
- Ideal when vertical space is at a premium. (Can be fitted at height or underfloor).
- Particularly good for coarse materials with large grain sizes.
Horizontal / Upright (tubes one above the other)
- Useful for bulk materials with smaller grain sizes, finer materials.
- Selected for materials with good flowability.
- Longer distances can be covered without supports.
- Good for narrow spaces.
- Excellent for conveying foodstuffs or materials which age as a round bottomed tensioner unit (minimises rest material).
Vertical (Used as a material elevator)
- Useful for bulk materials with smaller grain sizes, finer materials.
- Selected for materials with good flowability.
- Longer distances can be covered without supports.
- Good for narrow spaces.
- Excellent for conveying foodstuffs or materials which age as a round bottomed tensioner unit (minimises rest material).
