Tubular Drag Conveying System - Tire manufacturer with dust free multiple inlet system handling carbon black

Challenge

A major tire manufacturer needed to fit a material handling conveyor into a tight space, move the material (carbon black) from inlets and discharge it at two locations. In addition, the intermediate discharge had to be free of residual build-up, and the entire system dust free.

Solution

Hapman provided a system using its totally enclosed and dust-free series 4000 tubular drag conveyor with a self-cleaning (pneumatically controlled) discharge gate.

Products utilized

Tubular drag conveyors

Result

The conveyor fit into the designated space and accomplished the objectives of the manufacturer. Operation was able to be continuous without concern for dust.
