Different chain types for chain conveyor

Chain conveyor – 83 mm wide

Need

Chain conveyors are widely used today, because they have several advantages:

Reuseable when changing the conveying track, you can reuse the components
Available in different sizes, depending on the application, from 83 mm, 110 mm, to 254 mm wide
Available in different materials, from standard use to dust-free pharmaceutical applications
Different chain types, depending on the application. For example, small chains for highly unstable bottles, in order to avoid them falling over. Or, vacuum chains, which allow you to apply vacuum to a certain area on the chain, in order to ensure product stability. Especially with today’s high product speeds, vacuum conveying is essential.

Moreover, we have developed special transition sections with or without vacuum, in order to allow unstable products to transfer smoothly between conveyors.

Line control

Not only the conveying, but also line control is important. After all, this allows you to control product behaviour on lines and adapt the speeds accordingly. In addition, line control also allows you to place stoppers in certain areas of the chain conveyor, in order to avoid line back pressure.

Furthermore, we have developed a special platform on which we can simulate the whole line in advance. As a result, you can predict issues, which ensures a high OEE! (To clarify, OEE or Overall Equipment Effectiveness is a way to measure how productive your manufacturing is, so you can use this knowledge to improve your production processes.)

Moreover, this line control platform is controlled by an adapted control system with a graphical overview. As a result, this allows a quick & easy operation and manual intervention as necessary.
