Tubular drag conveyor

By Wayne Labs, Senior Contributing Technical Editor

Modern Process Equipment’s Chain-Vey tubular drag conveyor incorporates an integrated drive unit to save space in cramped locations. With the drive unit, the conveyor uses 1 pipe (instead of 2), saving space. The conveyor features low maintenance, energy efficiency and a loop-style layout that allows multiple pick-up and discharge point configurations. The conveyor has an XP rating (explosion-proof) upgrade capability, and is available in handling capacities of 650, 1000 and 1400 cu. ft./hr.
