Hapman, a manufacturer of bulk material handling equipment, is spotlighting its CablePro Tubular Drag Conveyor, a system designed to move delicate food products while meeting stringent sanitation requirements.
The CablePro conveyor is engineered for the transport of cereals, grains, nuts, frozen foods, pet food and other sensitive materials that require gentle handling. The system incorporates food-grade components, including stainless-steel tubing and coatings intended to comply with FDA standards. Central to its design are self-lubricating ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene disks injection-molded onto a pre-stretched, food-grade, oil-lubricated stainless-steel braided cable with a nylon coating. The configuration is designed to protect product integrity while aligning with hygiene requirements in food and beverage processing environments.
To improve inspection and maintenance, the conveyor is available with either all-metal or clear sight-glass inspection tubes. Cleaning accessories, including wiper disks, scraper disks, brush boxes, air knives and single-use sponge disks, can be integrated to support sanitation protocols.
An automatic tensioning system is included as standard equipment to maintain optimal cable tension, extending component life and reducing maintenance demands. The sealed design incorporates integral drains and is compatible with Clean-In-Place procedures, enabling cleaning through mechanical scraping, fluid rinses or foam-based methods.
Installation considerations have also been built into the design. Tubing is engineered and cut to application-specific lengths, fitted with sanitary flanges and match-marked to facilitate faster assembly. Optional sanitary flanged connections are designed to ensure fully seated tube ends and tight gap fits intended to limit product buildup and contamination risk. For added flexibility, standard tube sections can be field-cut and joined using compression couplers. The system also offers integrated floor and ceiling mounting options to enhance stability.
CablePro can be integrated with other Hapman systems, including bulk bag unloaders, bulk bag fillers, PosiPortion feeders and SolidQuid liquid-solid mixing systems, enabling manufacturers to build coordinated material handling lines.
With the CablePro Tubular Drag Conveyor, Hapman is seeking to reinforce its position in food-grade conveying by emphasizing product protection, sanitation compliance and installation efficiency in a single platform.
