Tubular Drag Conveyors:
The Floveyor Tubular Drag Conveyor (TDC) is engineered for streamlined and cost-effective materials handling for challenging plant environments. It accommodates multiple intake and discharge points to support a sophisticated distribution system for any operation. The TDC operates on multiple planes, accommodates variable radius bends and handles both horizontal and vertical conveying with ease.
The tubular drag conveyor is a mechanical conveyor system using a closed-circuit pathway to pull materials along with minimal disturbance and maximum efficiency. Drawing on more than 60 years of experience in the food industry, Floveyor’s TDC provides a clean, gentle and reliable conveying process that preserves material integrity, including mixes and blends. Floveyor’s unique drag conveyor element, along with fully enclosed tubing, results in contamination-free conveying and reduced abrasion and wear.
Manage complexity
Navigate multiple planes, tight spaces, long process lines and varied orientations without disrupting operations.
Cost efficient
Sealed discs and rope results in lower OPEX and CAPEX than air-based systems.
Product integrity
Fully enclosed tubing combined and gentle conveying protect product and blend integrity.

Compression coupling
A simple, versatile, and economical option for joining tubes, providing easy installation and reliable connections.
Tri-clover flanges
A clean and robust method of tube connection, offering superior hygiene and durability. However, they lack the installation flexibility of slide-on joiners.
Manual tensioner
Simple and economical fixed tensioning mechanism.
Pneumatic tensioner
Pneumatic cylinder with feedback to maintain optimal tension during operation.
Bag dump station
Ergonomic height for manual bag unloading.
Circular tube inlet
Enables product to be fed into the TDC at any point along its horizontal conveying length.
Tube outlet
Simple gateless tube outlet with a smooth transition.
Pneumatic rotary dropout
Rotary tube dropout enables sequenced discharge along a conveying route.
Drive housing
Ideal for end-of-line discharging, ensuring efficient and effective final discharge of materials.
Stainless steel 304,
HDPE moulded discs
Strong and durable with High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) discs. Ideal for general applications.
Stainless steel 304, PU moulded discs with captive and sealed UHMWPE wear ring
Robust and durable, suited for general industrial, chemical, and base-level food handling applications. The sealed wear ring ensures extended wear resistance and reliability.
Sleeved polymer rope and discs with captive and sealed UHMWPE wear ring
This fully-sealed design provides optimal corrosion resistance and longevity. Hygienically designed with food-grade construction materials, it is perfect for applications requiring stringent sanitation and durability.
ATEX 21 Conformity
Suitable for ATEX Zone 21 and 22 Dust Environments.
Dry clean
Preferred wherever practical as it requires no shutdown, eliminates drying time, and reduces the risk of bacterial growth, especially in food applications
