chain driven conveyor belt

Specifications of Chain-Driven Conveyor Belts

1. Construction and Design

• Material: Typically made from durable materials such as stainless steel or carbon steel to withstand harsh environments.
• Roller Configuration: Features sprocketed rollers that are directly driven by a chain system, ensuring positive drive and minimal slippage.
• Frame Construction: Often constructed from welded structural steel for added strength and durability.

2. Performance Characteristics

• Load Capacity:
  • Standard capacities range from 1,500 lbs to 30,000 lbs per unit load, depending on roller size and configuration.
  • Individual roller capacities can vary from 300 lbs to 2,000 lbs based on design.
• Roller Diameter Options: Available in various diameters (e.g., 1.9", 2.5", 3.5", up to 6") to accommodate different load requirements.
• Speed: Common operational speeds range from 30 feet per minute (FPM) to higher rates depending on the application.

3. Drive Systems

• Chain Loop System: Transfers power from roller to roller through a continuous chain loop.
• Tangential Chain Drive: Provides better efficiency and reduced costs by driving rollers tangentially for continuous power transmission.

Applications

• Heavy Load Transport: Ideal for moving pallets, tires, drums, and other heavy items in manufacturing and warehousing environments.
• Automated Systems: Used in conjunction with automated transport systems for assembly lines, load staging, and robotic cells.
• Food Processing: Commonly employed in food handling processes where controlled movement is required through ovens or cooling systems.

Summary

• Manufactoring proccess 

  Chain mesh Conveyor Belt includes the integration of chains along the edges. These chains provide additional support and stability, allowing the conveyor belt with chains to withstand significant loads without the risk of deformation.

• Design features

  Wire mesh chain conveyor with roller chains along the edges provides high mechanical strength and wear resistance, allowing the mesh to effectively distribute the load, preventing deformation, and ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operation. The use of mesh with a drive chain allows for speed regulation (over a wide range) and smooth operation.

  Ability to use on complex conveyor line routes: The system can be designed to move loads to different heights or through complex routes with turns.

• Scope of application

  Mesh chain conveyor are used in various industries: shrink-wrapping machines, animal feed production lines, tiered conveyors, lines where heavy loads need to be transported over long distances, and more.
