Welcome to the fascinating intersection of snack foods production and cutting-edge technology: the world of tubular conveying systems. In an era where efficiency and quality reign supreme, our snack food conveyor systems are revolutionizing the way our favorite snacks journey from raw ingredients to delicious end-products. Check out how Cablevey Conveyors managed to become the top-rated company in this industry and how it can help your business.
What Is a Tubular Drag Conveyor?
Tubular drag conveyor in an advanced material handling system employed across various industries, including the snack food sector. This mechanism operates by pulling a chain or cable fitted with discs through a sealed tube. The discs catch and drag the product along, enabling safe and efficient transportation from one point to another. Notably, this system outshines a traditional industrial conveyor belt, as it can handle a wider range of materials, including fragile, sticky, or mixed substances, while minimizing damage or loss.
However, Cablevey Conveyors didn’t stop there. We incorporated automation conveyor systems into our operations, harnessing the benefits of its gentle conveying method, adaptable design, and reliability. The integration of these conveyors within automated systems facilitates streamlined, efficient operations, providing an ideal solution for the high-demand pace of modern industrial processes.
Snacking Is More Than an Occasional Treat
Consumers have a case of the munchies, snacking more today than at any other point in history. According to an IRI Research report, an increasing number of younger adults consume five or more snacks daily, with the average American adult eating 2.7 snacks per day. Millennials are the driving force behind snack mixes and blends, which can contain a variety of fragile components, such as pretzels or chips.
The more variety, the better, including different sizes and shapes, from twists and rounds to squares, nuggets, and pieces. Each shape or component needs to maintain its proper form and pre-determined blend ratio in the proper proportions in the final package.
Tubular Conveying Preserves Delicate Snack Components
Convey delicate snack foods and components with confidence for less product waste and loss. Whether sold independently or as part of mix-snack components and foods, these products require a combination of containment and gentle conveyance to avoid the breakage of delicate elements. For this, a tubular drag conveyor serves as the most practical style of conveyance for snack foods.
Materials enter the input of the conveying tube and fall into compartments separated by discs attached to a central cable, which glide the materials to the next step of processing or packaging without air or excessive force. The enclosed tubular container with modular compartments separated by the cable’s discs helps preserve proportions in snack blends and mixes while ensuring product integrity.
