Chain Conveyors

Chain conveyors are used for conveying bulk materials (powder or grained) along horizontal or inclined lines. They are not eligible for brittle, humid, and sticky materials. They can perform conveying in greater angles unlike belt conveyors. Chain conveyors are designed to discharge in any point along the conveyance line. There can be more than one discharge or feed opening. In this case, pneumatic or electrical motorized lids must be attached to discharge openings.       

Chain conveyors consist of plastic support pallets, placed on the specially designed chain links, rails bearing the chain, main body, drive unit (motor-reducer), drive gear, take-up unit (take-up bearing and gear) and other accessories.

Chain conveyors are generally manufactured from galvanized sheet metal. Upon request, mechanical, electrical motorized or pneumatic lids are attached to the discharge openings of the chain conveyors.



HOOK LINK TYPE CHAIN CONVEYORS

These conveyors are manufactured from acetal or  inox chains or plaited mats and used for boxed or packaged products. They are used in food industry, particularly where non-corrosive surfaces are required. The width of this type of conveyors is generally small and can be adjusted by means of  guiding side rails. This system is used for special operations (capping, barcoding, entering a workbench in order). Conveyor frames are made of aluminum or electrostatically painted steel and inox material.     

Chain conveyors are generally used for pallet transportation and special applications. Driving force is transmitted via a motor-reducer kit to a gear which bears the chain. Movement ability of the chain system makes the project area of the conveyor very flexible. They are widely used in many areas, ranging from complicated elevator systems to conveyance of dress hangers.
