Summary
Whether your application involves heavy loads,abrasive materials,or extreme conditions,choosing the right conveyor chain is crucial for maintaining efficiency,safety,and longevity in your operations.
1. Standards and Compliance
Conveyor chains are manufactured to meet international and regional standards, ensuring compatibility and performance reliability. Some of the most common standards include:
● British Standard (BS): Widely used in the UK, these chains are tailored to the specific demands of the British market.
● International Standards Organization (ISO): ISO chains are commonly used throughout Europe and beyond, though they may not be directly interchangeable with BS chains.
● Deutsche Institute für Normung (DIN): In Germany, chains are produced according to DIN standards, ensuring high-quality performance and compatibility with German machinery.
2. Selecting the Right Chain Conveyor Applications
Determine which type overhead conveyor best suits your application using this chart, several factors should be considered to ensure optimal performance:
● Conveyor Type: The design of the conveyor and the shape of the materials being moved directly influence chain selection.
● Carrying Capacity: The weight of the load the chain will carry is a critical factor in determining the appropriate size and strength of the chain.
