The Most Efficient Carriers : Chain Conveyors

There been a lot of development in the field of science over the years, advancement in science has offered a lot of ease and convenience in almost all the sectors of life. It has made the tedious and time-consuming tasks easier. Manufacturing industries have also benefitted from the enjoyment by this development and one of its most shining examples is the widespread use of chain conveyors , they have contributed to the constant exchange of material  with consistent speed. Such conveyors use powered constant chain arrangement, carrying a series of single pendants. Such conveyors can be single or double chain strand in configuration. The weight is positioned on the chain, the friction pulls the load forward. Such conveyors are quite easy to install and have minimal maintenance for users. They are mainly used to transport heavy loads eg. pallets, grid boxes and industrial containers. Many industry sectors use them in their production lines.

There are numerous advantages of using chain conveyors, some of them are as follows:  

Reliable and high performance:

Chain conveyors are very trustworthy and reliable, they help you in increasing the efficiency of your organisation. They are greatly suited to the continuous transport of large volumes on the one hand, and for moving the loads that are difficult to move through the production process on the other.

Maintenance and user friendly:

Because of the durability of its components, the system enjoys a long technical service life. The system is extremely easy to use, operators simply have to connect the new carriers into the chain conveyer or take them off. In addition, a mix of different carriers can be utilised. 

Safe:

Such conveyors follow a constant and decided route with clear markings on the shop floor. The operators can therefore work in complete safety around the system. The consistent speed and fixed route create a safe working environment especially in comparison to traditional forklift truck traffic. Because the system is completely set up on the floor, you can make complete use of the available floor space. 

Adaptable: 

This type of conveyors are adaptable to any given situation, objects of any size can be placed on the machine, some of which are otherwise difficult to handle and can be moved up, down and around. 

Direct travel:

Products can be moved directly on the conveyor. Lightweight items can be easily placed on it and transported easily and effectively.
