Drag conveyors are a great complement to screw conveyors and belt conveyors and a requirement of many bulk material handling applications. Drag conveyors can be used to meter or transfer bulk materials from one process to another. The compact and versatile design allows drag conveyors to fit almost any plant layout.Drag conveyors are available in many configurations. Screw conveyors are designed based on industry standards and are modular in construction providing flexibility for a variety of applications.

Shafted screw conveyors are used in thousands of industrial applications every day for efficiently conveying a variety of bulk materials. A screw conveyor’s main function is to transfer bulk materials from one process to another. Screw conveyors are very cost-effective and require minimal maintenance to operate.
Screw Conveyors are available in many configurations and are designed based on industrial standards They can be modular in construction providing flexibility for a variety of applications.

Advantages of Using Screw Conveyors

• Ideal for handling dry to semi-fluid materials - free-flowing to sluggish
• Cost-effective when compared to other conveying devices such as belt, pneumatic or aero-mechanical conveyors
• Efficiently distributes bulk materials to various locations using multiple inlet and discharge points
• Totally enclosed for corrosive or hazardous requirements

Available Features / Options

• Custom engineered for your specific application
• Wide range of construction materials (carbon steel, SS316, SS316L, SS304, )
• Flight configurations available for mixing and chopping
• Designs available for cooling and heating products utilizing jacketed housings

^{How a tubular drag conveyor works}

^{A tubular drag conveyor gets its name from the tubular housing that encloses a continuous chain. A drive sprocket inside a drive assembly engages the chain at the turn located at the conveying leg's end, and circular discs called flights are attached to the chain at regular intervals. The flight material is UHMWPE. This material possesses excellent physical as well as frictional properties at the same time lighter in weight most inert to various products to be conveyed, provide a quick release of sticky materials without wearing the conveyor bends and housing}

^{Tubular Cable Conveyors (also known as Disc Conveyors and Drag Conveyors) gently slide bulk materials through smooth stainless steel tubing usinglow-friction polymer discs attached to the stainless steel cable. The discs and cable are driven by a Geared drive connected with a sprocket wheel at one end and a sprocket wheek with tensioner at the other end. This design allows single or multiple inlets and outlets, and the routing of conveyor tubing horizontally, vertically, or at any angle, through small holes in walls or ceilings. Because components are modular, inlets and outlets can be added, removed, or relocated, and the circuit lengthened, shortened or re-routed as needs change.}

A tubular drag conveyor's lower electrical power consumption means it has much lower operating costs and as a result, a much lower long-term ownership cost. Low maintenance cost, Very smooth, silent operation, No dust filter requirement.Multiple feeds and discharge points
