Advantages of tube chain conveyors- No intermediate bearings necessary
for long distances, thereby eliminating possible ignition sources - Design with nearly no dead space, low
grain destruction, and low wear due to low friction - 3 D layout (only conditionally possible
with screw conveyors using several sections and drives; incline is very limited by product) - Vertical transport possible without any
problems - Low energy consumption
- Flame propagation proof due to large
number of chambers - Bulk material can be transported in two
directions simultaneously - Easy cleaning in case of a product change
Advantages of screw conveyors- More cost efficient for shorter distances
- Requires less space
