Wheeled carrier TUBO

high-efficiency

Overview
The TUBO tubular push conveyor transports grain, brewing malt, coffee, rice and other bulk granular materials for milling and brewing. Free-flowing Tubit pusher elements move product gently through the pipe. The design focuses on energy efficiency and food-industry hygiene.

Key benefits

• Food-grade construction – stainless steel pipework with round tubes to minimise residues; components comply with FDA food-contact guidance.
• Gentle push conveying – low-speed, chambered conveying reduces internal friction and product damage for fragile granules.
• Flexible 3D layout – supports horizontal, vertical and inclined routes to fit low ceilings and compact plant layouts.

Highlight features

• Low energy consumption – push conveying avoids tensioned belts or chains, reducing friction and power use.
• Tubit pusher elements – synthetic, free-flowing elements fit inside the pipe, transport product without leaving residue and return by gravity at cycle end.
• Compact plant integration – 3D design replaces multiple conveyors and offers various inlet/outlet options for process integration.

Applications

• Grain handling and processing
• Milling and brewing (brewing malt)
• Transport of coffee, rice and similar bulk food materials
