Product Details
Chain-and-Folder Conveyor
A tubular chain conveyor is an efficient, sealed, continuous conveying system designed for powders, granules, small lumps, and mixed materials. It supports horizontal, inclined, vertical, and combined transport paths. The equipment operates by circulating flight chains within a sealed pipe to move material smoothly along the pipeline, minimizing dust emissions and product contamination. This meets production site requirements for environmental compliance, cleanliness, and automated conveying.
Compact design with a small footprint and flexible routing, customizable to fit your site layout and process flow. Unlike traditional conveyors, the tubular chain conveyor supports multiple feed and discharge points and integrates seamlessly with crushers, mixers, packaging machines, and silos—boosting production continuity and material handling efficiency.
Tube chain conveyors can be customized with carbon steel, stainless steel, or other materials based on the specific properties of the material being conveyed. They are ideal for industries including chemicals, food processing, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, building materials, metallurgy, and new energy materials. For production environments that require dust control, contamination prevention, enclosed conveying, or have limited space, tube chain conveyors offer a stable and reliable solution.
Device Features
Closed-loop conveying to minimize dust emissions

How it works
Chain-and-Folder ConveyorContinuous material conveying via a sealed pipeline chain system. Material enters through the feed inlet and is pushed forward by scrapers driven by the chain, then exits through the discharge outlet. The entire process occurs in a sealed environment, effectively preventing dust leakage and material contamination.
The equipment features a modular design that allows flexible configuration of horizontal, vertical, and turning sections to support multi-point feeding and discharge. The chain is manufactured from high-strength alloy steel for enhanced wear resistance, corrosion protection, and extended service life.
