Open conveyor systems are susceptible to contamination by foreign bodies or small parts, which can cause belt malfunction or damage the transported goods. iwis transfer chains for conveyor systems prevent such costly malfunctions before they can occur. Transfer (TF) chains are completely enclosed on three sides by wear-resistant, rugged snap-on plastic attachments, even when they pass over the sprockets. The close-fitting attachments completely cover the functional areas of the chain, effectively eliminating the risk of injuries to staff and possible damage to machine-processed workpieces with sensitive surfaces, for example.
iwis offers three attachment versions. The basic assumption for all temperature specifications is a max. surface pressure of 0.45 MPa; significantly higher temperature ranges are possible if surface pressure is lower. Please contact iwis in advance for advice. Different material configurations are possible for special applications e.g. with gradients, accumulation or aggressive media. In these cases, please contact iwis for an individual advisory consultation.
The chain ends are connected by a two-pin outer link block and a push-fit side plate pressed onto the pins. By bending the chain appropriately, the two attachments can be clipped on over the pin. A locking spring is not required. The two relevant attachments are coloured black for easy location of the connecting link.
