Drag Chain Disc Conveyor

Drag Chain Disc Conveyor

Enclosed & Dust-Free Conveying Solutions

Orchid’s Drag Chain Disc Conveyor offers enclosed, dust-free conveying in both round and square tube designs. Ideal for powders, granules, food, pharma, chemical & industrial applications.

Also known as a Dry Chain Disc Conveyor, Tubular Drag Conveyor, or Chain-Disc Conveyor, it provides dust-free, contamination-free, and energy-efficient transport of bulk materials. Suitable for horizontal, vertical, and inclined conveying, the modular layout ensures unmatched flexibility compared to conventional conveyors.

How It Works

  • Material Feeding – Product is fed into the enclosed round or square tube.
  • Chain & Disc Movement – A robust chain with evenly spaced discs gently pushes the product through the tube.
  • Enclosed Conveying – The dust-tight tube prevents spillage and contamination.
  • Multi-Directional Flow – Capable of horizontal, vertical, and inclined conveying in a single line.
  • Material Discharge – Product is released at the outlet for downstream processes.

👉 Ensures dust-free operation, gentle conveying, and space-saving layouts.

Types of Tube Chain Conveyors

  • Round Tube Chain Conveyor: Circular tube design, best for powders and free-flowing bulk materials, ensures smooth flow and hygienic handling.
  • Square Tube Chain Conveyor: Square/rectangular tube, provides structural rigidity, suited for heavy-duty or abrasive materials, and easy integration in compact plant layouts.
