Redler Conveyor Chain

A conveyor chain is chain that has been designed specifically for chain conveyor systems. It consists of a series of journal bearings that are held together by constraining link plates. Each bearing consists of a pin and a bush on which the chain roller revolves.There are three series of chains (light, normal and high strength). The high strength chains (treated plates) are used for difficult applications (great forces, transporting abrasive products, etc.)To select any of these chains, use the procedure outlined in the flow chart (Figure 4.15). Chain tension is calculated based on the load size.A chain conveyor operates on the principle of interconnectivity: a chain connects each gear, resulting in a smooth conveying process. The chain conveyor has a series of gears connected into a continuous system by the chain. Typically, each gear has teeth which create a free rotational interface with the chain.
