Description

Tube chain conveyor is the continuous conveying equipment for fine powder, granule and massive materials and in three ways to convey: horizontal, inclining and vertical mix. In the airtight lines, the chain slice as the driving member brings materials along lines to move. When being horizontal conveying, material granule under the driving of chain slices on the direction of motion will move forward along the slices to form stable material flow when inside friction force of material layers exceeds outer friction force between the lines walls; When being vertical conveying, material granule inside the lines under the driving of chain slices upwards which forms horizontal and lateral pressure and then increases the friction degree of materials between, owing to feeding below detaining materials granule above gliding downwards. Materials granule will move forward along the slices to form stable material flow when inside friction force of material layers exceeds outer friction force between the lines walls and its gravity.
