Plastic Chains Conveyor : Light, Quiet, Unbreakable

The dedicated chain for chain plate conveyors is a core transmission component tailor - designed for chain conveyor systems. Its structure is composed of a series of journal bearings combined with constraining link plates. Each bearing consists of a pin and a bush, around which the chain roller can rotate stably to drive the conveying operation

Each type of conveyor chain is available in a variety of pitch specifications, and its pitch range is restricted by two key factors:

• Minimum pitch: It must meet the requirement of sufficient strength for the sprocket teeth. If the pitch is too small, the stress - bearing area of the sprocket teeth will be insufficient, which is likely to cause wear or breakage of the teeth.
• Maximum pitch: It is determined by the rigidity of the link plates themselves. If the pitch is too large, the link plates without reinforcement will be prone to deformation under stress, affecting the conveying stability.

However, the limitation on the maximum pitch can be overcome through technical optimization. When bushes are added between the link plates to enhance the overall strength of the chain, and the optimized chain still maintains sufficient fitting clearance with the sprocket teeth, a pitch specification that exceeds the conventional upper limit can be adopted.

The chain plate conveyor belt made of stainless steel has two core advantages.

Firstly, it has excellent chemical stability and can withstand various corrosive environments (such as humid, acid - base working conditions).

Secondly, it has high - strength characteristics, which can effectively extend the overall service life of the conveyor belt. Among them, the thickened chain plates can be adapted to the conveying needs of heavy - duty materials, avoiding deformation or damage of the chain plates due to excessive load. In addition, the chain plate conveyor belt is usually directly driven by chain links. This transmission method can minimize power loss, ensure a smooth and non - stuck conveying process, and significantly improve the overall conveying efficiency.
