In each process, regardless of the industry branch it belongs to, the key factors are efficiency, constantly increasing speed, as well as introducing solutions allowing for optimization of operations. And no wonder. These factors have a large impact on customer satisfaction, production efficiency, and profits. However, in order to achieve the intended goals, it is necessary to use modern solutions. One of them are the so-called chain conveyors. What are they? And why are they gaining so much popularity? We answer these and other questions in our article.
What are chain convoys?
Chain convectors, i.e. conveyors or chain conveyors, these are the elements that - as the name suggests - allow you to transport products of different specificity and size. Their effective operation is based primarily on the good matching of the components used, such as chain strings (the number of which is selected depending on the type of goods), drive shafts, chain wheels, as well as special plastic profiles that increase process safety. Depending on the needs, chain conveyors can be equipped with additional elements, including in side guides, collectors, plastic and rubber overlays, i.e. parts that increase efficiency and possibilities.
What should we remember?
Chain conveyors are solutions for special tasks that can transport products with a total weight of up to thousands of kilograms. The secret of their effectiveness lies primarily in the construction made of the highest quality materials, as well as in resistance to damage or compression. Conveyors are durable, reliable, quiet, and easy to maintain and operate. They are characterized by high efficiency and enable the transport of materials of non-standard shapes.
However, please note that the reliability of chain convoys depends on the constant monitoring of the condition of individual parts. It is necessary, among others:
- chain tension check,
- current consumption determination,
- possible protection with grease,
- paying attention to unusual symptoms such as loud work.
The construction of convoys based on the highest quality elements is also of great importance. Therefore, with the needs of our customers in mind, we have introduced chains based on good quality steel, i.e. solid material, valued in various industries. Importantly, the transport chains we offer meet all the requirements specified by standards such as ANSI, PN, DIN, and their creation is carried out by the largest manufacturers from the European Union countries.
