Chain Conveyor

Chain conveyor, by definition, uses chains as traction and carriers to transport materials. The chains can be ordinary sleeve roller conveyor chains or other special chains. But when describing chain conveyors, it may also refer to conveyors that use chain plates as transmission media, such as table top conveyors, flexible chain conveyors, accumulation conveyors…….

Advantages Of Chain Conveyor

Load Capacity

  • Compared with roller conveyors, chain conveyors have a greater load capacity and can carry 2-4 tons of goods, which is why most pallets filled with packaged goods use chain conveyors as the medium.

Durability

  • Compared with belt conveyors, chain conveyors use roller chains or top chains as the conveying medium and can be used in harsh environments, such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, corrosive chemical environments, etc.

Versatility

  • Chain conveyors and flexible chain conveyors can be lifted vertically or extended horizontally, effectively utilizing production space and improving the company's investment-production ratio.

Wide Application Fields

  • Chain conveyors with plastic conveyor chains as the conveying medium are usually used by food processing plants and pharmaceutical factories to convey bottles or cans, so they are also called bottle chain conveyors. One of the reasons is that in addition to saving space, they can also be easily washed and replaced.plast

padded chain conveyor

padded chain conveyor

Padded chain conveyor refers to adding cover plates to the chain of the chain conveyor, which can prevent dust and prevent dust, debris, liquid, etc. from entering the meshing area between the chain and the sprocket, reducing wear. Prevent foreign objects (such as tools, rags) from accidentally falling into the gap of the chain and causing jamming or chain breakage. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene, and reduce noise and vibration.

Cover material options:
rubber
plastic

diverting conveyor​

diverting conveyor​

Diverting conveyor is a conveyor that can divert materials or products from the main conveyor line to different directions to achieve classification, sorting or directional transportation. It works together through sensors, control systems and mechanical devices, and is widely used in logistics, manufacturing, warehousing and other fields. It is often used in logistics sorting, automated production lines and warehousing and distribution.

Method Selection
push rod sorter: Push items to the side track through the lateral push rod, suitable for medium speed and regular shape items.
pop-up wheel sorter: The roller rises from the bottom of the main conveyor line, rotates and guides the items to turn, suitable for parcels, cartons, etc.
omni conveyor: uses omnidirectional wheels to transport and divert materials. It can move in multiple directions, such as forward, backward, left and right, and rotate, and has extremely high flexibility.

The flat top plates are stronger than modular belting and transport items through production more efficiently and safely. Chain conveyors have excellent flexibility for production line layouts, being suitable for curves or changes in elevation, thus streamlining factory operations.

High adaptability

With rich industry experience and a professional design team, from solution communication-simulation operation-to 3D drawing confirmation-more than 8 hours of in-plant operation testing, the conveying part can be perfectly integrated into your existing equipment.

How to choose the right conveyor chain types?

Faced with so many conveyors of different styles and functions, how should we quickly choose the right chain conveyor type for our own factory or for our clients?

Clear Requirements

First, clarify the specific requirements of your factory when using chain conveyors, including

>> Material type: What is the material to be conveyed? What is its shape, size, and weight?

Table top conveyors and flexible chain conveyor are more suitable for conveying goods with flat bottoms, such as small boxes, beverage bottles, cans, and packaged foods (biscuits, chocolates).

When it comes to heavy or irregular products, such as fully loaded pallets, product parts, etc., consider using a chain conveyor (workpieces can be made as a carrier for the parts according to needs)

When it comes to production lines where many processes require precise processing and assembly of parts, consider using accumulation chain conveyor, which can achieve precise positioning of a single module.

>> Conveying speed: How fast does it need to be conveyed?

The flexible chain conveyor has a fast conveying speed and can meet the production requirements of most FMCG factories. If a single conveyor cannot meet the production requirements, consider using double-layer or multiple conveyors.

>> Working environment: Is the working environment of the factory hot, cold, humid, or corrosive?

The above chain conveyors can be used in harsh production environments. If they need to contact food, all bifa conveyors can provide you with aluminum alloy/carbon steel/stainless steel frames.

Consider the structure of the conveyor

The structure of the chain conveyor needs to be selected according to the layout and needs of the factory:

Horizontal conveying: chain conveyor/table top conveyor/

flexible chain conveyor/accumulation chain conveyor

Curved conveyor: table top conveyor/flexible chain conveyor

Vertical conveying: vertical conveyor

Evaluate the Drive Unit

The choice of drive device has a great influence on the performance of the conveyor:

Motor power: select a motor with appropriate power according to the weight of the conveyed material and the conveying distance.

Reducer type: select a suitable reducer to ensure the smooth operation of the conveyor.

Consider Maintenance and Care

Choosing a chain conveyor that is easy to maintain and service can reduce downtime and maintenance costs:

Easy to replace parts: Ensure that key parts are easy to replace and maintain.

Automatic lubrication system: It can reduce manual maintenance and increase the life of the conveyor.

Budget

Finally, choose the most cost-effective belt chain conveyor based on your budget:

Cost-benefit analysis: Consider not only the initial purchase cost, but also the long-term operation and maintenance costs.

Supplier and brand

Choosing a reputable and experienced supplier and brand can ensure the quality and after-sales service of the conveyor:

Reputation and evaluation: Understand the evaluation of other users on the supplier and brand.

After-sales service: Ensure that the supplier provides good after-sales service, including warranty, repair and technical support.

In simple terms,

Automotive conveyor chain includes: frame/chain or sprocket/mesh belt/rod chain/power part

Generally speaking, chain conveyors are only composed of chains, frames, and power parts, and can be used horizontally or vertically.

Slat conveyors/plate link conveyors refer to the same type of conveyors: chain/threaded rods/mesh belts or slats/frames/power parts, and can only be used horizontally or at a certain angle.
