Extras & Attachements

A part of the tube opens toward the bottom. Optionally, the chain can be exposed to spray, vibration, or rinsing systems from above.

This is the most inexpensive solution if dead space above the slide plate is tolerated. Different types, round or rectangular designs, are available. The valves can be operated manually, pneumatically, or electrically.

Tube slide valves reduce or shut off the flow of material, depending on the position of the slide. The slide plate in this case is a tube section that closes in the direction of the conveying. Unlike the slide valve, this design has hardly any dead space. Optional equipment such as vibrators and spray nozzles are also available.

This is an integrated sensor which indicates the tension of the conveyor chain to ensure uniform chain tension.

Weight tensioning is used for high temperature products as well as for systems conveying abrasive products. It compensates for any kind of chain elongation and requires less maintenance than spring spindle tensioning.

The electromechanical chain tensioning device regulates the difference in chain elongation and shortening fully automatically. It is mainly used where long conveyors are operated under varying conditions or whenever small spaces inhibit the use of conventional weight tensioning.

Any kind of change in direction, depending on the conveyed medium, will cause increased friction, noise, and wear. In some cases, turn stations with rims or chain wheels provide a good solution.

The turn station type P with 45° redirection is designed for changing the direction in the return run of tall, vertical systems.

Plungers are mounted to the tooth flanks of the drive sprocket, which push out adhesive or non-free flowing bulk materials stuck between the discs (forced discharge).

Oversized discs or brush discs, elastic seal discs or scraping discs clean the tubes of the conveying run and return run from the inside and prevent adherence.

Brush cleaning stations are used for forced discharge or cleaning. The plastic brushes are driven by small worm gear motors.

With this type of station, the bulk material can detach itself from the chain. Just before the chain enters the return run, two brushes clean off any possible residues.

This station has been especially designed for upright tube chain conveyors. Its operation is very similar to that of the brush drive station for vertical conveyors.

With this module, an inner brush kicks in as soon as the conveyor chain enters the discharge area (drive station). Therefore, the sprocket can operate free of any product already. Then, the outside brush clears the outside of the conveyor chain of any product residues.
