A comprehensive solution for safe, efficient, and adaptable bulk material handling

Kalamazoo, MI - Hapman, a global leader in custom bulk material handling equipment, is proud to highlight the TubePro™ Tubular Drag Conveyor, a comprehensive solution designed to transport a wide range of materials with precision and efficiency. The TubePro™ is engineered to convey blended, friable, large particle, or smearing materials without compromising product integrity, making it suitable for a variety of demanding applications. Featuring a fully enclosed, dust-tight design that contains dusty, odorous, toxic, or hazardous materials, the TubePro™ supports zero-emission operation and creates a safer work environment. This construction makes the TubePro™ a dependable choice for facilities with strict containment requirements.

Operational flexibility is a key advantage of the TubePro™. The conveyor can move product vertically, horizontally, at any angle, and around corners, with effortless configuration of inlets and outlets to fit specific facility layouts. Customizable run lengths and bend angles allow the TubePro™ to meet the unique needs of every installation, and Hapman's application engineers work directly with customers to develop the most efficient layout for each project.

Product is transported en masse between flights, exposing it to minimal turbulence and reducing the risk of abrasive degradation. This gentle movement preserves material quality during transfer. The TubePro™ operates at high torque and low speed, resulting in energy-efficient performance and lower operating costs. The conveyor can also stop and restart while fully loaded, minimizing waste and reducing downtime during operation.

Durability is built into every TubePro™ system, with heavy duty Schedule 40 pipe construction, slotted round flanges, and continuously welded, offset flanged connections that create an interlocking pipe structure for long service life. The TubePro™ offers several options to further enhance performance and adaptability. Multiple chain and flight options, including round link, drop forged rivetless, and engineered sealed pin chains, are available to reduce fatigue, wear, and elongation, supporting a wide range of applications. Available enhancements include the Airknife, Chain Hammer, Brush Box, and Self-Cleaning Discharge Gate.

The Airknife uses a focused stream of air to remove residual material from the chain and flights, ensuring a clean and efficient operation. The Chain Hammer provides mechanical agitation to dislodge stubborn material, further reducing buildup and carryover. The Brush Box, typically used for waste material, utilizes dual spinning brushes to remove stuck debris from flights and chain, helping prevent carryover and ensuring thorough cleaning. The Self-Cleaning Discharge Gate is an intermediate discharge point that can be installed at any location along the carry side of the tube conveyor, allowing for full discharge. The Vibrating Hammer can be placed at discharge points to free material that might otherwise cling to the chain flights.

With its combination of gentle handling, energy efficiency, robust construction, and a range of adaptable features, the TubePro™ Tubular Drag Conveyor provides a dependable and effective solution for bulk material handling. Facilities can rely on the TubePro™ to maintain product quality, streamline operations, and support safe, dust-free material transport across a variety of industries.
