A craft brewer owned flexible screw augers for some time, using them to transport grain and grist. Maintaining the screw auger though became a headache, with the screw wearing through the PVC tubing and causing leakage. The brewers were using duct tape to patch up the leaks; but even with that grain and grist accumulated on the floor. That is when Chain-Vey tubular drag conveyors stepped in.

柔性螺旋螺杆是啤酒酿造商的一种经济高效的输送系统。许多酿酒商在第一次尝试螺旋输送机后会得到 Chain-Vey。当客户刚开始他们的啤酒厂时,螺旋钻可能会很好地工作。但随着业务的增长,螺旋钻无法与客户一起成长。我们的客户希望用 Chain-Vey 取代他们的柔性螺旋输送机,原因有几个。

  1. 与提供弯曲 PVC 管或单向不锈钢管的螺旋钻不同,Chain-Vey 是两全其美的,具有美观的不锈钢管流畅、节省空间的曲线。
  2. 冰球不会穿过您的管道,这意味着您不会每小时都伸手去拿胶带和扫地。
  3. Chain-Veys 是轻柔而精确的输送机。通过输送机输送时不会造成产品损失、降解或混乱。
  4. Chain-Veys 可以安装在现有螺旋输送机已经存在的地方,但可以爬升到高垂直方向并长距离运行,这是螺旋螺旋输送机无法做到的。
  5. Chain-Veys 采用模块化设计,这意味着可以轻松添加入口和出口,以便将来的啤酒厂扩建。

销售工程师 Chris Smyth 参观了该设施,与酿酒商讨论了他们想要什么,并进行了一些测量。在一天之内,他就能够提供预算报价。在一些额外的客户反馈之后,向客户提供了批准图纸。几周内,Chain-Vey 就到了。

Smyth made sure that his customer’s system exceeded expectations. The sweeping elbows of 304 stainless steel and beautiful sightglass allow onlookers to see the grain being conveyed looks great next to your other brewing equipment. After 6 months of owning their new Chain-Vey, his customer couldn’t be happier. The head brewer described in his own words:

“Chain-Vey 是我们希望输送机提供的一切。可靠、易于清洁、维护成本低。它不会使麦芽降解一点,“酿酒师说。

About a year later the brewery wanted to expand capacity even further. With little more than a phone call the Smyth, the head brewer was able to get a quote on additional discharges with some added chain and pipe; all of which arrived within weeks. The simple modular design of Chain-Vey allows all brewers the benefit of future-proofing their systems. This is another reason Chain-Vey is the leading conveyor for breweries used in hundreds of facilities around the world. Also check out our case study on Chain-Veys at Ballast Point Brewing.
