    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.

    ❓ Final FAQ – Drag Chain Disc Conveyor

    • 1. What is a Tube Chain Conveyor?

      👉 A Tube Chain Conveyor (also called a Dry Chain Disc Conveyor, Tubular Drag Conveyor, or Chain-Disc Conveyor) is an enclosed system that moves bulk materials using a chain and discs inside a tube.

    • 2. What is the difference between round and square tube types?
      • Round Tube: Best for powders, free-flowing bulk materials, and hygienic handling.
      • Square Tube: Best for heavy-duty, abrasive, or compact plant layouts.
    • 3. Can it convey vertically?

      Yes , it can handle horizontal, inclined, and vertical conveying in one layout.

    • 4. What industries use this conveyor?

      Food, pharma, chemicals, plastics, minerals, construction, and agriculture.

    • 5. Why choose it over pneumatic conveyors?

      It offers lower energy consumption, gentler handling, and dust-free enclosed operation.
