Conveyor Chain

Roller chains are specifically manufactured for use on material handling and conveyor equipment. Such chains are widely used in the textile, food processing, mining and agricultural industries, for escalators, elevators and also on modern machine tools. Therefore special chain, or Conveyor Chain, is necessary because the requirement and working environment is very different from that of transmission chains. Instead of primarily transferring power between shafts, conveyor chain is required to pull one or a number of loads - usually along a straight line at relatively slow speed. Consequently, conveyor chain is rated in terms of Breaking Load rather than power and speed.
