Chain Products
Gull Wing Conveyor Chains - Automotive & Steel Rolls
Gull wing conveyor chains are used in transfer conveyors for skids with casters in the automotive industry. Larger versions are for steel roll handling. These chains can be custom designed in various sizes for specific application needs.
Horizontal Curve Conveyor Chains
Horizontal curve conveyor chains are used to transport automobiles or paper rolls through curves up to 180˚. These chains are custom designed to suit the operating environment.
Flat & Slat Top Conveyor Chains
Flat and slat top conveyor chains are typically designed with a flat steel top plate either welded (flat top) or bolted (slat top) to an SBR chain. Outboard rollers with bearings are added to reduce rolling friction. The top plate surface provides excellent floor level conveying. Flat and slat top conveyors are used widely in the automotive industry for final assembly, mechanical or paint repair and water test or wash applications. These chains can be custom designed for your specific application needs.
ENDURO-FLITE®
ENDURO-FLITE® is made with SBR chains, alloy steel thru rods, inner tubes and formed or welded hinge steel pans. This light to medium duty apron is available in 6″, 9″ or 12″ pitch with pan widths from 12″ to 120″. Side wings are welded to the pan which makes it ideal for the recycling and stamping industries. Numerous attachments available for specific application needs.
Steel Bushed Roller (SBR) Chains
Steel bushed roller (SBR) chains are manufactured with heat treated rollers, hardened bushings and pins, and steel sidebars. The roller type construction provides a lower operating friction which helps increase chain life and reduces conveyor design requirements. They are available in a variety of sizes, configurations and designs and can be used in tough industrial applications. SBR chains come with a variety of standard attachments for immediate delivery.
