Normally, a chain is bent in transverse course only. Nevertheless, a 3D Bending Conveyor Chain may be structurally bent not simply horizontally but additionally vertically. It can be applied for any conveyor line which moves vertically and improvements in route.
X Sort Chains for Trolleys, and Energy & Free Conveyors
X-type Chains are used for trolleys, and energy & free conveyors. They are drop-forged rivetless chains featuring high strength, lightweight and easy removal of components. The bottom left photo shows an X-type Chain employed as a trolley conveyor with only one rail.
The bottom right photo shows an X-type Chain utilised for any electrical power & free conveyor. An additional rail is installed to receive the load for higher transfer capability.
A energy & free conveyor generally has a so-called stop and go function to connect and disconnect conveyed materials with and from the chain, so that the conveyed materials can be temporarily stopped, mixed and stored.
Three kinds of X-type Chains are available according to required strength.
Z-type Chain for Light Load Trolley Conveyors
A Z-type Chain for trolley conveyors is employed for service similar to that of X-type Chains described on the previous page, but is suitable for light loads. It’s widely made use of in conveyors supplying parts, and devices for storing and unloading parts on automobile assembling lines.
Z-type Chain for Light Load Trolley Conveyors
A Z-type Chain for trolley conveyors is utilised for service similar to that of X-type Chains described on the previous page, but is suitable for light loads. It truly is widely used in conveyors supplying parts, and devices for storing and unloading parts on automobile assembling lines.
FH Variety Chain for Freeyor
An FH Form Chain is made use of for the same purpose as an X-type Chain and Z-type Chain. While X-type Chain is designed for heavy loads and Z-type Chain is for light loads, FH Type Chain is utilised for intermediate loads. While X-type Chain and Z-type Chain is often vertically bent only slightly, FH-type Chain might be bent both vertically and horizontally, which makes it suitable for a conveyor line moving vertically. We manufacture three kinds of FH-type Chains different in pitch.
Towline Low-Selec-Tow Chain
A towline conveyor has a mechanism to convey dollies caught by a chain buried in the floor. Our chain for towline conveyor is called LST chain (Low-selec-tow chain).
LST Chain is often bent horizontally and can also move on a slight incline. It’s made by forging, and a recess for hooking a dog is formed at the center of each link.
