Equipment company unveils new CablePro conveyor

Bulk material handling equipment company Hapman launched the CablePro Tubular Drag Conveyor at PACK EXPO 2024 in Chicago.

The November debut marked the first unveiling of details about the conveyor, designed for the clean and efficient transport of items such as frozen foods, nuts, cereals and grains, according to a news release.

The CabloPro system includes food-grade coatings, stainless-steel tubing and self-lubricating UHMW (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) discs, which are injection-molded onto a stainless-steel braided cable with a nylon coating.

CablePro incorporates an auto-tensioner to maintain optimal cable tension, extending cable and disc life while reducing maintenance. Its sealed design with integral drains also supports Clean-In-Place protocols, allowing for easier and faster cleaning.

“CablePro brings together our decades of expertise and focus on evolving with market needs,” Matt Richardson, Hapman vice president, said in the release. “We designed this conveyor to meet a specific market segment that demands gentle, efficient and reliable transport while meeting strict sanitation guidelines.”
