In response to the ever increasing needs of the food industry, Spiroflow has launched the new Chainflow tubular chain drag conveyor. The hygienic heavy duty, totally enclosed, dust-free chain drag conveyor economically conveys dry powders and granules particularly fragile materials such as coffee beans, cereals, specialty breakfast cereals, nuts, dried fruit, grains, dry soup mix, candy, small cookies, baby formula powder, pet food, animal feed, and more. Processors can easily convey or batch ingredients with the crevice free design.
Chainflow is a tubular drag conveyor that, by definition, is configured in a loop or circuit. Ultra strong 304 or 316 stainless steel chain is fitted with molded UHMWPE discs. It provides maximum chain life while gently moving fragile products through a homogeneous crevice free conveying path. The conveyor has a motor driven drive assembly at one end of the circuit and a return housing, fitted with an automatic tensioner, on the other end of the circuit. Processors can achieve intricate layouts with multiple inlets and outlets in complex three plane circuits. Chainflow components are designed for hygienic applications. The conveyor can be cleaned in place and is engineered to run 24/7/365.
