Conveyor chains are durable, continuous loops of interconnected links, pins, and rollers (or plates) that form the core of chain conveyor systems, used to transport heavy loads, workpieces, or materials in industrial settings like assembly lines, automotive plants, and processing facilities, functioning by engaging with sprockets for smooth, powerful, and reliable movement horizontally, inclined, or vertically, often under harsh conditions where belts might fail.
How They Work
Linkage: Chains consist of inner links (bushings) connected by pins, with outer plates or rollers that provide support and articulation.
Drive Mechanism: A motor powers sprockets that grip the chain, pulling the continuous loop along a designated path.
Material Movement: Products rest directly on the chain (or attached carriers/pallets), frictionally pulled along by the moving chain, or pushed by attached flights/plates.
Key Features & Types
Heavy Duty: Ideal for high loads, harsh environments (heat, abrasion), and demanding applications, unlike belts.
Versatile Configurations: Can be single-strand, double-strand, or form complex networks.
Material Options: Available in various materials and designs (e.g., roller chains, apron conveyors with plates, flight conveyors for pushing) to suit specific needs.
Durability: Engineered with hardened pins and bushes for high wear resistance and strength, notes this page.
Common Applications
Automotive paint shops (moving car bodies)
White goods and metal finishing
Food processing and distribution centers
Timber yards and chemical plants
In essence, conveyor chains provide robust, low-noise, and low-maintenance transport for demanding industrial tasks, moving everything from small parts to heavy pallets across various production and logistics challenges.
