Tube Conveyor Cleaning
Cable & Tube Conveyor Cleaning
Each facility develops their own cleaning protocols based on the sanitation regulations and the challenges of their materials. There are different methods offered to clean and sanitize a tubular drag conveyor depending on what material is being conveyed. The material’s reaction to water would indicate whether a wet or dry cleaning procedure would be more appropriate.
Cablevey offers both wet and dry tube conveyor cleaning options. Our tube conveyors are designed for food-grade applications thus seek to eliminate places for fines to accumulate including:
- Solid Discs (no screws or bolts)
- “Jacketed” Cables (nylon casings)
- Attached Discs (to cable)
- Stain less Steel Connectors
- Removable Equipment (for easy cleaning)
Dry Cleaning
This internal tube conveyors cleaning option is available on our 4″, 6″ and 8″ diameter systems and involves several equipment items including:
Air Knife:
A strategically located line insert that uses compressed air to blow accumulating fines off discs.
Brush Box:
A line insert that mechanically brushes accumulating fines off discs.
Sponge Disc & Sanitizing Cleaner:
A disposable sponge disc that is run through the system with an applied cleaning agent.
Urethane Wiper Disc:
A disc insert that wipes away accumulating fines and particles
Wet Cleaning
This option is available on our 4″, 6″ and 8″ diameter systems. It’s a 3-step internal tube conveyor cleaning process that’s fast and easy:
Water Rinse:
After the material has passed out of the system water can be introduced to rinse the inside of the tube, disc and cable.
Foam Agent:
Foam cleaning agent is introduced into the tube environment to cleanse all internal parts of the system.
Water Rinse:
A second rinse of hot water flushes out sanitizing rinse rendering the tube environment production ready.
Sanitizing Rinse:
A sanitizing rinse is run through the system to flush out debris and foam agent.
Drying:
Drying our tubular system is dependent on the length of your particular layout.
