TECHNOLOGY Tubular Chain Mixer

The The Tubular Chain Conveyor is an enclosed conveying system, comprising a tubular
system casing that houses circular discs attached to a chain which convey the product, and a
tensioner and drive unit. System operation is totally dust free.

bu The Tubular Chain mixer provides continuous
Tu
mixing of product and comprises a rotary drum
(2), bearings (3) and drive (4).
Different products are discharged at inlets A, B
and C, using metering screw feeders to
transport the product via a tubular chain
conveyor (5) to a drum (2). The drum is
equipped with paddles (6) to ensure the
Patented product is thoroughly mixed before it is slowly
Patented Sprocket transported towards the exit end of the tubular
Drive Unit conveyor. The outlet is located at the end of the

Luxme link chain design acts as a universal joint during product conveying and can turn in multiple E
A B C 1
directions and in different planes. Heavy duty construction.
Silo Discharge Through Metering Feeder to the Tubular Chain Mixer
Variable chain speed – 4 ft./min. to 100 ft./min. contributes to minimal product degredation.
Ø
A unique feature of the Luxme design is the idler automatic tensioner that continuously tensions the
entire length of chain in the product conveying path, while maintaining zero tension in the return path D D
by automatically compensating for the increase in chain tension due to • Friction • More product flow
• Variation in atmospheric and product temperature • Conveying disc wear • Chain wear, etc., thus
A
minimizing the wear and tear of the conveying discs, chain and pipe. B B

The tubular chain conveyors are manufactured in Montreal, Canada by Luxme International, Ltd. in
technological and technical collaboration with Schrage Rohrkettensystem GmbH, whose tubular chain
Metering Screw Feeder
conveyors have established a reputation in Europe for their reliability and performance in handling a
