What Are Tubular Drag Conveying Systems?
Tubular drag conveying systems are a type of bulk material handling equipment used for the transportation of goods in various industries. They consist of a sturdy tube that contains a chain or cable with attached discs. As this cable or chain moves through the tube, the discs create a drag that propels the product down the line.
These systems are highly versatile, capable of moving a wide variety of materials from fine powders to large, solid objects. They can accommodate numerous inlets and discharges and can be configured to handle complex routes with both horizontal and vertical curves.
How Does It Work With Coffee?
The system is designed to gently move the coffee to prevent damage to the beans or grounds. It’s highly adaptable, capable of moving the resources vertically, horizontally, or around corners. The tubular drag conveying system can handle a wide variety of products, from whole beans to finely ground coffee, ensuring they are transported efficiently and safely from one point to another within the production facility. It’s particularly beneficial in preserving the quality and integrity of the coffee while reducing the chances of product loss or contamination.

Coffee Trends Fuel Increased Demand
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world today. In the U.S. alone, 60% of consumers drink coffee daily, more than any other beverage, including water. As evidence of its popularity and reach, several coffee varieties and trends have increased, including nitro coffee (with added nitrogen gas), adaptogen blends, and alcohol-infused coffee.
This also extended to variations with exotic milk or the one used in specialty drinks, which are generally plant-based, stemming from soy, almonds, hazelnuts, or coconuts, to name a few. Projections show coffee growth to continue with an anticipated compound annual growth rate or CAGR of 5-7% over the next five years.
Gently Convey Coffee Materials From Beans to Powders
The moisture content of a dried, processed coffee bean ranges from 10-12%. This makes beans brittle and sensitive to shock, vibration, or changes in humidity. Ground coffee’s fine texture also renders it a delicate material that requires careful handling – hundreds of packaging and coffee roasting facilities around the world enjoy gentle coffee product conveyance thanks to Cablevey Conveyors.
A tubular drag conveying system significantly reduces product damage to minimize the waste of delicate beans and other coffee products. With a Cablevey tubular drag system conveyor, you’ll be able to maintain product quality while maximizing productivity, including that of green coffee beans, roasted beans, ground coffee, and powdered (soluble) coffee.
Choose from among our 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-inch diameter systems depending on the desired volume of up to 80,000 lbs/hr. Solid circular discs attached to the central flexible steel drag cable, staggered at precise intervals, push the product through the tube without air or excessive force for gentle transport.

FAQ
Why Is a Tubular Drag Conveying System Suitable for Coffee Production?
Tubular conveyor systems are used in rice processing due to their gentle handling of the product. These systems reduce breakage and degradation, which is crucial in maintaining the quality and appearance of paddy grain.
Can Tubular Drag Conveying Systems Handle Different Types of Coffee, Like Beans and Ground Coffee?
Yes, tubular drag conveying systems can handle a wide variety of coffee types. The design of these systems allows for the transport of anything from whole beans to finely ground coffee. The systems’ customizable nature makes them versatile for a range of products.
How Does the Tubular Drag Conveying System Maintain the Quality of the Coffee During Transport?
These systems maintain coffee quality by providing a gentle, closed-environment transport. The coffee is moved slowly to prevent damage, and the closed system protects it from environmental contaminants. This ensures that the product reaches its destination in the same condition it entered the system.
What Are the Benefits of Using a Tubular Drag Conveying System in Coffee Processing Plants?
The benefits of using a tubular drag conveying system in coffee processing plants include enhanced product integrity, improved energy efficiency, and increased productivity. The systems’ gentle handling reduces coffee breakage, while their efficient design reduces energy consumption. Furthermore, they can handle high product volumes and be configured to suit the specific layout of a facility, thereby improving the overall production process.
Can Tubular Drag Conveying Systems Be Customized to Fit the Specific Needs of a Coffee Production Facility?
The tubular drag conveying systems are highly flexible and can be customized to fit any production facility’s unique requirements. This includes the system’s size, shape, and the number and positioning of inlets and outlets. This makes them ideal for facilities of all sizes and layouts.
What Measures Are Taken by the Tubular Drag Conveying System to Prevent Coffee Contamination?
This is a closed system, which means it provides an inherent level of protection against environmental contaminants. Additionally, the system’s components can be made from food-grade materials to further ensure the purity of the coffee. Also, cleaning procedures can be implemented to maintain the hygiene of the conveyor.
Are Tubular Drag Conveying Systems Energy Efficient in Coffee Processing Applications?
