What is Plastic Chain Conveyor? Features and applications of plastic chain conveyor

Plastic chain conveyor is a type of conveyor consisting of longitudinally attached plastic links with light weight but high cargo capacity.

Conveyor belts are necessary in conveying many types of materials, depending on the purpose of use to choose the most suitable conveyor. Plastic chain conveyor is a product line used in light industries, simple and flexible transportation. With many outstanding features, this is an effective transport device for many industries to increase work efficiency and increase profits for businesses.
 

What is Plastic Chain Conveyor?


Plastic chain conveyor is a type of conveyor consisting of longitudinally attached plastic links with light weight but high cargo capacity. With links of different widths and shapes, it is possible to load a variety of products. With the advantages of lightness and ease of installation, it is used in many production fields. Quiet operation and low noise are the outstanding features of this type of conveyor.

Features of plastic chain conveyor

 

1 - The versatility of plastic chain conveyors


- Adaptability
Plastic chains are probably the most adaptable type of belt available. It easily rotates and bends to tilt, drop, repeat or promote in tighter radials than most rollers or belts. You can secure it around, above, below, or between columns, racks, machinery or other obstructions in ways other conveyors can't match.

- Size
Plastic leashes can be manufactured in a variety of widths, which means you can build a belt for multiple products or applications for any size. This gives you great flexibility when it comes to belt combinations, loads, and integration with other elements in the system.
 

2 - Hygiene factor

Food and pharmaceutical manufacturing companies use these conveyors because their business depends on extremely strict hygiene standards. Plastic chains are waterproof, easy to clean and sanitize, and reduce bacteria growth.

- Built-in drainage system
Although it is used in many other applications, plastic chain conveyors are often considered food grade conveyors first. That's because it's so good at those roles. These conveyors have an open design, with plenty of space for water and air flow. This helps with cooling but is also key for food applications that require cleaning. As the liquid rinses off the belt easily and through its mesh design, the draining is faster and cleaner with less soiling than conventional belts.

- Resistant to water and detergents
Washing is common in food handling and storage applications, and plastic chains are used because they handle this better than most other belt types. Because they are easier to clean, saving labor and time, and the plastic material is resistant to most cleaning chemicals. Due to the construction of interlocking components, the plastic chain conveyor does not slide easily when wet, so the products on the conveyor belt convey more reliably in wet conditions.
 

3 - Durable design and construction

Plastic chain conveyors are modular, constructed of plastic components linked by metal cross pins. These hard plastic pieces are tough and can withstand the wear and tear of most applications. Also, in the rare case of a broken link, they are quickly repaired. Just replace the damaged part instead of the whole belt. You can do this without removing your belt from the bed, which means it takes less than 15 minutes in most cases.
 

Application of plastic chain conveyor


Plastic chain conveyors are ideal where you are transferring relatively light loads in relatively tight spaces. The most common industries are cosmetics, plastics, automotive, small parts, food and beverage, or any appliance where small items require stricter handling.

Using plastic chain conveyors in many cases replaces manual transportation of people, increases automation for production lines, increases efficiency and maximum productivity.
