Tubular Drag Conveyors can operate at rates up to 30m/min depending on material
characteristics & layout. Capacities are typically up to 176 lpm
The capacity charts below allow you to roughly estimate the size of the conveyor and
the speed based on the throughput requirements in cubic feet/minute (cubic
liters/min). The horizontal lines represent the velocity at which your product will
pass through the conveyor. The vertical lines indicate the volumetric throughput rate
in liters per minute. The diagonal lines are the sizes of the conveyors available.

Based on your material’s bulk density, calculate the required conveying rate in
feet/minute or liters/minute. Locate the amount required on the horizontal scale.
Move up the vertical line and note where it intersects with one or more diagonal
lines. Each intersection point indicates a possible conveyor size. From each
intersection point, move left horizontally all the way to the vertical scale, indicating
the conveyor speed. There are many factors that enter into the tubular conveyor
selection process. Beyond the mechanical selection described above, we carefully
consider the physical characteristics of the material to be conveyed and the
equipment duty cycle.
Tubular drag conveyor can operate at speeds up to 100 ft/min or 30m/min . It is
generally advisable to apply a larger conveyor at a slower speed if your material has
sluggish flow characteristics, is sticky, abrasive or if the equipment operational duty
cycle is extensive. Smaller conveyor sizes and faster speeds are usually selected
