Conveying Coffee Materials

The gentle way to convey coffee

What is a tubular drag conveyor for conveying coffee?

Cablevey’s tubular drag conveyor is an ideal solution for transporting coffee beans and coffee-related materials, ensuring gentle handling throughout the conveying process. Using a chain-driven cable system with embedded discs, it carefully moves coffee beans, grounds, and other fragile coffee materials through a sealed tube without damaging or breaking them.

Cablevey Top Features for Conveying Coffee

conveyor discs

1) Gentle Chain and Disc Design

Cable-driven discs gently transport coffee beans, preventing breakage and abrasion. This careful handling preserves the beans’ delicate structure and oils, which are essential for maintaining their rich flavor and quality.

2) Food-Grade Materials and Sealed Tubing

 Built with food-grade components and a sealed tube, the conveyor prevents contamination, protecting beans from dust, moisture, and pollutants to maintain hygienic standards from intake to packaging.

3) Modular, Flexible Configuration

 Cablevey’s modular system allows for routing around tight spaces, curves, and vertical lifts without compromising the quality of coffee. This flexibility ensures efficient layout design while minimizing unnecessary transitions that could affect the product.

4) Easy Cleaning In Place System (CIP)

The system supports easy and thorough cleaning between coffee types or batches. This minimizes cross-contamination risks and reduces downtime, which is ideal for coffee facilities that handle multiple blends or roasts.

Can I test my materials before buying?

material testing facility

Yes, Cablevey offers testing facilities where we perform industrial-scale trials to verify the performance of our tubular drag conveyors with your coffee materials. This process ensures optimal handling, identifying any adjustments needed for efficiency and quality.


Our team can test Cablevey’s conveyors independently or in combination with equipment from our sister companies, such as Marion Process Solutions, Kason, and Spiroflow. Our engineers collaborate with you to provide comprehensive insights before finalizing your equipment investment.


Testing can be conducted in-person, remotely, or at your facility, with testing centers available at several of our locations.
