Feed Industry

Tube disc chain conveyors → Best for gentle, flexible, enclosed conveying of feed ingredients and pellets within the plant.

Pneumatic conveying systems → Best for powder transfer over long distances (e.g., from truck unloading to silos, or silo to batching bins).

Many modern feed mills actually use both systems together:

Pneumatic conveying for bulk powder/raw material intake and silo filling.

Tube disc chain conveyors for in-plant transfer between silos, batching, mixing, and finished product handling.
