Industrial Materials
In the industrial realm, nothing is more foundational to operational efficiency and productivity than the movement of materials. Here, industrial materials and conveyor belt systems take center stage, and their transportation is masterfully managed by automation conveyor systems and engineered mechanisms that have transformed industries worldwide. With that in mind, take a look at how Cablevey Conveyors and its tubular conveyor system can improve the efficiency of your production line.
What Are Tubular Conveyors?
Imagine the industrial conveyor belt: a robust workhorse, tirelessly transferring goods in factories, warehouses, and mines, a symbol of the industrial revolution and modern manufacturing. Now, imagine it with a sci-fi twist: a conveyor tucked away within a tube, running smoothly and quietly, out of sight but vital.
It is an unsung hero in the material handling sector. It’s like the secret agent of conveyor systems, maintaining a low profile yet carrying out crucial tasks efficiently. This innovative system, essentially an industrial conveyor belt operating within a tube, allows for the gentle, dust-tight, and energy-efficient transportation of bulk materials.
How Does Industrial Conveyor Belt Work?
The materials are dragged through a fully enclosed tube via a chain with disks, moving across the factory floor beneath our feet, above our heads, or behind walls – a constant yet unseen lifeline keeping the industrial heart beating. The tubular belt conveyor system represents the evolution of industrial conveyance, taking the reliable mechanism of conveyor belts and adapting it for an increasingly diverse range of industrial applications.

FAQ
What Industries Benefit From Tubular Conveying?
Since it’s versatile and adaptable, tubular conveying provides benefits across numerous sectors, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemical industries, agriculture, and waste management. With pneumatic conveyor systems, the sealed environment and gentle handling are ensured. This also makes them ideal for delicate and hazardous materials, serving diverse industrial needs.
How Does a Tubular Drag Conveyor Preserve Product Integrity?
The slow, steady movement of a tubular drag conveying system minimizes friction and impact, preventing damage to delicate materials. This is especially useful for industries handling fragile or quality-sensitive products, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals.
What Safety Features Are Incorporated in Tubular Cable Systems?
These systems are designed with safety as a priority. The enclosed design reduces dust and prevents material spillage, minimizing potential hazards. Additionally, cable systems often have emergency stop features and are designed to prevent accidental contact with moving parts.
How Does Tubular Conveying Help Conserve Space in a Plant?
Tubular conveyors, due to their compact design, can operate vertically and horizontally, enabling them to navigate around existing plant structures and equipment. This efficient use of space makes them ideal for facilities with limited floor space.
What Are the Advantages of a Modular Design for Conveyor Systems?
A modular design simplifies installation and maintenance, as individual sections can be replaced without disrupting the entire system. It also provides flexibility, allowing a conveyor belt for the warehouse system to be easily expanded or reconfigured to meet changing production needs.
What Materials Can Be Transported Using Tubular Cable Systems?
These systems can handle a broad spectrum of materials, from fine powders and granules to larger items such as pellets or capsules. This makes them suitable for diverse industries, including food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and agricultural sectors.
What Is the Energy Consumption of Tubular Drag Conveyors?
Compared to other systems, tubular drag conveyors are energy-efficient. Their slower speeds and reduced friction mean they require less power to operate, typically around 5 HP, depending on the size and length of the conveyor and the material being transported.
How Easy Is It to Maintain a Tubular Conveying System?
Maintenance of both a regular tubular and a custom conveyor belt is relatively straightforward. The modular design allows for easy access to replaceable parts, and regular cleaning and inspection schedules help to prevent wear and tear.
What Are the Common Maintenance Procedures for Tubular Conveyors?
Routine maintenance includes regular inspections for wear and tear, lubrication of moving parts, tension adjustments of the chain or cable, and cleaning to prevent material buildup.
How Does the Enclosed System Design Reduce Dust in Industrial Environments?
An enclosed conveyor system, like a tubular conveyor, minimizes the escape of dust or particles, which is particularly beneficial in industries such as food processing or chemicals, where dust can pose health risks or contamination issues. Cablevey Conveyors even has a conveyor belt for food for extra protection.
