Leading the Industry in Gentle Conveyance

Look to the established leader in the food processing industry for gentle, reliable conveyance of friable materials. Cablevey’s enclosed, tubular drag conveyor systems are found in over 65 countries, used to transport more than 1,000 different types of materials. Our modular system relies on basic components such as discs, tubing, cables and sweeps that supply the flexibility and adaptability to accommodate a processing plant’s space and specifications. This flexibility easily enables customization to move materials in any direction, horizontally or vertically, from floor to mezzanine or between buildings, with minimal modifications to your facility. From powders to pet food, coffee and cocoa to cereals or snacks, Cablevey conveyors supply unique benefits that help widen profit margins. Drastically slash dust, minimize product breakage and conserve energy with disc and cable tubular conveyors from Cablevey.

System Features and Benefits

Easy To Clean

Wet and dry in-tube cleaning options reduce time between changeovers and preserve resources. Clean-in-place methods are also available to improve efficiencies and reduce downtime.

Enclosed, Sanitary and Dust Free Environment

Enclosed tube conveyors improve plant safety and hygiene by drastically reducing dust while protecting against product contamination.

Operates on Multiple Planes

Layouts to fit any configuration or elevation for multiple inlets and discharges.

Easy To Clean

Wet and dry in-tube cleaning options reduce time between changeovers and preserve resources. Clean-in-place methods are also available to improve efficiencies and reduce downtime.

Low Impact Installation

The modular design lends the tubular drag conveyor immense flexibility and versatility for installation or upgrades as needed. Fits within floor space limitations, up (ascending) and down (descending) inclines or around corners (sweeps at 45, 60 and 90-degree angles).

Low Maintenance

Tubular drag style conveyors, designed to require simple pneumatic tensioning for the cables, require very little maintenance.

Blend Integrity

Disc system mounted on the cable keeps contents secure from inlet to discharge. Safeguard preblended mixes of varying bulk densities for accurate proportions to eliminate sifting or product loss.

Quiet and Energy Efficient

The engineered design requires lower horsepower motors, for lower energy requirements and quiet operations.

Size and Capacity Matter. We Have a System that Works.

Let's Get Started

Modular Components Allow for Flexbility and Easy System Integration

1
DRIVE UNIT
The cable is pulled through the drive unit by an electric gearmotor
mounted to a stainless steel frame.The cable can enter and exit through either tube port as
required for your layout.
2
FUNNEL
Funnels are used to discharge material from rotary discharges and/or cleanouts.
Funnel outlets are available in a wide variety of sizes and connection types to fit your needs.
3
INSPECTION SECTION
The Inspection Section is a food grade plastic tube that
allows you to see the product conveyed and observe the cleaning process.
These sections can be installed in the vertical or horizontal runs as desired.
4
SWEEP
Sweeps change travel to any desired direction. Sweeps are available in many
angles from 0-90 degrees and in several different
radius dimensions (45, 60, & 90 degrees) to fit restricted spaces.
5
COMPRESSION COUPLER
The coupler’s food grade rubber gasket ensures
a good seal against air, water and dust. The coupler holds the tubes
together in perfect alignment to provide the discs a smooth path.
6
INLET
Inlets are available in a wide variety of lengths to accommodate various needs.
The sides of the inlets are available in different slopes to accommodate
different material flow properties. Multiple inlets may be used if desired.
7
TURNAROUND
The turnaround contains a sprocket that facilitates reversing
cable direction from the return side of the system to the product conveying side.
The sprocket is mounted on a mechanism designed to provide proper cable tension.
8
DISCHARGE
The discharge has the ability to be open or closed allowing
materials either to pass through or exit the conveyor at that point.
9
BRUSH BOX
A Brush Box is a housing that the cable and discs pass through.
The Brush Box contains two roller brushes mounted above and below the cable and discs.
As the cable moves through the discs turn the brushes removing any clinging
particles into a waste chute for disposal. This mechanical process
operates without additional power requirements.

Flexible Tubular Conveyor Layouts and Design

Cablevey-Conveyors-6300-w-Brush-Box

HVH

HVH layouts carry materials from point-to-point and at varying altitudes.

Horizontal Corner

Horizontal corner layouts, typically 90,75, or 60 degrees, can be customized to a 24”,36”,48” and 60” radius.

 

Loop

Loop layouts move materials in a tight or pre-defined space and allow for multiple inlets.

 

Inline

Inline layouts are the simplest installations for point-to-point conveyance.

 

Horizontal Transfer

Horizontal transfer layouts allow for long runs and can accommodate multiple inlets.

 

Horizontal-Vertical Horizontal 3D

Horizontal-Vertical-Horizontal layouts carry materials from point-to-point and at varying altitudes.

 

U-Shape

U-Shape layouts move materials in tight or pre-defined spaces and allow for multiple inlets.

 

Vertical Transfer

Vertical transfer layouts are often used to move materials to and from mezzanines. Vertical transfers also commonly blend ingredients via multiple inlets.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have conveyed materials up to 300 ft (91m), however the maximum conveying distance is ultimately determined by the type of product to be conveyed, the capacity required and the number of sweeps (directional changes) needed for the intended configuration.

Cablevey tube conveyor installations span the globe, to convey over 1,000 types of materials moved in over 65 countries. Our equipment services many of the largest food processing companies both in the United States and abroad.

Yes. We always include custom conveyor engineering in our quotes as production processes and facility size and configurations are highly variable. We pride ourselves in being sticklers about efficiency, savings and safety.

We offer a range of tube diameters from two to eight inches. Recommended tube sizes vary by particle size and capacity requirements. Our engineers will design a system customized to your needs.

Each facility develops their own cleaning protocols based on the sanitation regulations and the challenges of their products. There are different methods offered to clean and sanitize your Cablevey conveyor depending on the material being moved. Our systems can accommodate a range of cleaning options including wet, dry and clean in place.
