Features and AdvantagesSide Flexing Capability: These chains feature side flexing capabilities, making them suitable for conveyor systems that require bending in both horizontal and vertical directions. They are able to move along a curved path on the conveyor line and change the conveying direction.Base Rollers: The base rollers on the chain help reduce friction between the chain and guide rails, and support smooth movement of the conveyed items.Pitch Size: The 12.7mm (1/2 inch) Pitch refers to the distance between the centers of adjacent chain links. This pitch size is common and balances the chain's load capacity and compactness.Materials: These chains are typically made of high-quality plastic materials such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). The specific material chosen depends on the specific application requirements, including load capacity, environmental conditions, and chemical resistance.Lightweight and Low Noise: Plastic conveyor chains are lighter and easier to operate compared to metal chains, and they reduce the overall weight of the conveyor system. Additionally, plastic chains have lower noise levels during operation, helping to create a quieter work environment.Corrosion Resistance: Plastic chains have high resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for applications in wet or corrosive environments. They are not affected by moisture or chemicals and are suitable for industries such as food processing or chemical manufacturing.Easy Maintenance: Plastic conveyor chains are relatively easy to maintain. They typically require less lubrication compared to metal chains, and can be easily cleaned to remove debris or contaminants.ApplicationsFood Processing and Packaging: These chains are commonly used in conveyor systems in the food processing and packaging industry. They are suitable for moving food products from one processing stage to another, such as moving packaged food products to a packaging machine or labeler.Logistics and Sorting: In logistics and sorting centers, these chains can be used to handle and sort packages, boxes, and other goods. They smoothly move the goods from one position to another on the conveyor line, enabling efficient logistics operations.Manufacturing: In manufacturing, these chains are commonly used in conveyor systems on assembly lines and production lines. They can be used to transport parts, components, or finished products from one workstation to another, enabling automated and efficient production processes.Warehousing and Distribution: In warehousing and distribution centers, these chains can be used to move and sort goods for storage in the appropriate location or for shipment.Packaging and Labeling: In packaging and labeling applications, these chains can be used to move boxes, bottles, cans, and other items to their corresponding packaging or labeling machine for packaging and labeling operations.Mechanical Engineering: In the field of mechanical engineering, these chains can be used to move parts, tools, or equipment from one workstation to another, supporting the assembly, testing, and maintenance processes.Customization OptionsApplication Requirements: Ensure that you clearly communicate your specific application requirements, including working environment conditions, load requirements, curve radii, speed requirements, etc., to the manufacturer or supplier. This will help the manufacturer provide you with a customized chain solution.Material Selection: Choose the appropriate plastic material based on the application environment requirements, such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and chemical solvent resistance. Different plastic materials have different characteristics, such as polyethylene, polyamide, and polypropylene.Size and Construction: Determine the size and construction of the chain based on the layout of the equipment and the requirements for curve conveyance. This includes the chain width, roller diameter, chain link shape, etc. Ensure that the customized chain is fully compatible with the equipment and meets the requirements for curve conveyance.InstallationPreparation: Before installation, ensure that the installation area for the conveyor chain is clean and prepared. Remove debris, dust, and other obstacles, ensuring that the chain can move smoothly.Alignment and Adjustment: Before installing the chain, ensure that the conveyor system is aligned and adjusted. Ensure that the chain can run straight, avoiding twisting or deviating from the track.Connecting Chain Links: Align the connecting plates of the chain with the chain links, and connect them together using an appropriate connecting pin or clip. Ensure that the connection is secure but not too tight, allowing the chain to move freely.Tensioning the Chain: Properly tension the chain based on the manufacturer's recommendations. Overly loose chains can cause chain jumping or unstable operation, while overly tight chains can increase friction and wear.MaintenanceCleaning the Chain: Regularly clean the chain to remove accumulated dust, dirt, and other contaminants. Use appropriate cleaning agents and brushes for cleaning, and ensure that the chain is completely dry before use.Lubricating the Chain: Lubricate the chain at appropriate locations based on the manufacturer's recommendations. Use a lubricant suitable for plastic chains, and avoid over-lubricating to prevent the adsorption of dust and impurities.Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the chain for wear, damage, or loose connections. If any problems are found, repair or replace them in a timely manner.Environmental Conditions: Ensure that the environment in which the chain operates meets its design requirements. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, chemicals, or other adverse conditions that may affect the chain's performance and life.Follow the Manufacturer's Recommendations: Always follow the specific advice and guidance provided by the manufacturer when installing and maintaining the chain. Different types of chains and applications may have different requirements, so ensure that you operate in the correct manner.SprocketsSprockets are an essential component of a conveyor chain system, used to transmit power and motion from the driver to the driven shaft. The sprocket teeth engage with the chain links, causing the chain to move. Sprockets are typically made of metal and are designed to match the pitch size and construction of the chain.We offer a range of sprockets that are compatible with Plastic Conveyor Chains Sideflexing Plastic Chains with Base Roller Chains 12.7mm (1/2 inch) Pitch. Please see the images below for examples.
