Conveyor Chains & Modular Belts

Conveyor chains are rigid plastic links hinged with pins—solid flat plates driven by sprockets for straight or side-flexing transport of bottles and cans. Modular belts are interlocking grid/mesh plastic modules forming a continuous, drainable belt for washing, cooling and wide loads. Both are mainly POM (−30 °C to +90 °C), used in food, beverage and packaging lines.

FAQ

Q1: What material are these conveyor chains made of?
A: Main body is POM (acetal); hinge pins are stainless‑steel. Modular belts can also be PP. Operating temperature range: ‑30℃ ~ +90℃.
Q2: Can the side‑flexing chains make 360‑degree turns?
A: Yes. Side‑flex table‑top chains are designed for curved / 360‑degree loop conveyor layouts. Straight‑run models cannot bend sideways.
Q3: What is the maximum running speed?
A: Max 50 m/min with lubrication; 30 m/min when running dry without lubricant.
Q4: Can I get custom widths?
A: Widths follow standard model sizes. Custom widths are not available; select from our existing product series.
Q5: What industries commonly use these products?
A: Mostly food & beverage bottling, canning, pharmaceutical and packaging production lines.
Q6: What is the difference between conveyor chains and modular belts?
A: Conveyor chains are pin‑hinged flat links for bottle conveying. Modular belts are interlocking mesh‑style belts for draining, cooling and wider conveying surfaces.
