It all started with a question: What is the best way
to move bulk material from A to B? By this time,
at the end of the 1970s, Remmer Schrage had
already gained extensive experience with regard
to conveyor technology – from screw conveyors
to bucket elevators. However, our clients wanted
more: “Can’t we improve it all?” Can’t we make it
more flexible, dust tight, or more energy efficient? Thus, Remmer Schrage started to experiment with round disks, which were pulled by cords or chains, inside tube cases.
Because the chain proved to be rather practical, the name “tube chain conveyor” was adopted.
The advantages were as great as the demand, so that Remmer Schrage decided to establish the company Schrage Rohrkettensystem GmbH on July 31, 1987.
