There are many commodities that are prone to damage due to their physical nature, including tree nuts, peanuts, rice, and seeds. In a processing facility, these products pass through multiple conveying systems. When they are moved in elevators, drag conveyors, disc and chain conveyors, or pneumatic conveying systems, the mechanical movement can introduce impacts that cause product breakage, dust generation, or fines. This can lead to product degradation as well as increased maintenance requirements.

Modern conveying solutions now focus on flexible and gentle product movement to significantly reduce impact. One example is Horstkötter GmbH’s Circular Chain Conveyor, which moves product using a controlled, gentle pushing action rather than aggressive transfer. In addition to protecting the product, the system provides high installation flexibility, allowing 90°, 45°, and 180° bends. This enables multiple inlet and outlet configurations in tight plant spaces while operating with a single drive system.
