H78B Transfer Rooftop Chains
The H78B Transfer Rooftop Chain is a heavy-duty and durable chain like the H78A Rooftop Chain but with a tensile strength of 20,800 lbs. This chain, like others in the H-Series, is manufactured to perform and hold up in transfer conveyor applications, as well as abrasive atmospheres. The H78B Transfer Rooftop Chain is most often intended for operation in troughs, in two or more parallel stands on transfer conveyors, with only the bevel tops of the links projecting about the guides. This permits loading and unloading to be done transversely. The name “camelback chain” is used for this class of chain because of its ability to carry heavy concentrated loads, handle bulk material, and transport products.

H78 chain sprockets for H78B rooftop chains are available in a variety of sizes and materials. The most common type of sprocket for H78B chains is a cast iron sprocket. Cast iron sprockets are strong and durable, and they can withstand high loads and abrasive environments. However, they can also be heavy and expensive.
Another type of sprocket that is sometimes used for H78B rooftop chains is a steel sprocket. Steel sprockets are lighter and less expensive than cast iron sprockets, but they are not as strong. They are also more susceptible to wear and tear.
The size of the H78 chain sprocket that you need will depend on the pitch of the H78B rooftop chain and the speed and load of the application. The pitch of the chain is the distance between the centers of two consecutive pins. The speed and load of the application will determine the number of teeth on the sprocket.
Here are some examples of H78 chain sprockets for H78B rooftop chains:
(1) Cast Iron Sprocket: These H78 chain sprockets are made from cast iron and are strong and durable. It is a good choice for applications with high loads and abrasive environments.(2) Steel Sprocket:? These H78 chain sprockets are made from steel and are lighter and less expensive than cast iron. It is a good choice for applications with lower loads and less abrasive environments.(3) Zinc-Plated Sprocket:? These H78 chain sprockets are made from cast iron or steel and is coated with zinc for corrosion protection. It is a good choice for applications in outdoor or wet environments.When choosing an H78 chain sprocket, it is important to consider the pitch of the chain, the speed and load of the application, and the environment in which the sprocket will be used. You should also consult with a chain and sprocket expert to get the best recommendation for your specific application.
