ENCLOSED TRACK CONVEYOR CHAINS
This Overhead Conveyor Chain system's greatest advantage is that it utilizes a closed track system. The chain can
move freely in horizontal and vertical directions within minimal space. Each chain link pitch has horizontal and
vertical wheels that have ball bearings for carrying the load with ease. This assists in reducing travel resistance and
increasing the life expectancy of the chain.
This enclosed track conveyor chain is designed for maximum flexibility across multi-directional track systems.
Compared to conventional conveyor chain systems, this flexibility enhances the conveyor performance while
maintaining overall strength and stability. The track route can be designed and installed according to the site
requirements and provides functional options in material handling, transportation and storage.
Transportation loads are used to categorize the chains:
*Light duty (10~20kg) - 2 Ton Enclosed Track Conveyor Chain
* Medium duty (30~50kg) - 5 Ton Enclosed Track Conveyor Chain
*Heavy duty (50~70kg) - 7 Ton Enclosed Track Conveyor Chain
The track structure is multi-functional and can be applied to any position and gradient including high altitude,
ground level, ascending, descending and directional changing positions within any facility.
Product Features:
• Reliable and economical : the most cost-effective conveyance equipment on the market
• High Precision, long lasting Conveyor Chains
• Intelligent Design for simple installation, assembly and disassembly
• The conveyance componentry are non-exposed and well protected. This is essential for surface treatment and
powder coating lines.
• The f lexibility of a multi-directional track system fully utilizes the overhead spaces within a plant. Maximizing
suspended conveyor lines will reduce occupation of plant f loor space and increase facility capacity.
Horizontal Curve The steering in the horizontal plane is realized by the interaction between the horizontal
curve and the horizontal wheel. Our systems carry various radii and angles of horizontal
curved tracks that our customers can choose from. The horizontal wheel comes in two
versions: the stamping type and solid bearing type. The selection principle depends on the
tension of the chain and the radius of the horizontal curve. Our experienced staff can assist
in choosing the right solutions for all applications.
Drive Unit The drive unit of an overhead-enclosed track conveyor line is placed where the maximum
tension occurs at any point along the line. Generally, only one drive unit is needed for
approximately every 100-120m. If the route becomes longer or more complicated, it is
necessary to strategically place multiple drive units with a coaxial or a synchronous motor.
Take-Up Device The function of this device is to adjust and maintain proper tension of the chain as the
chain links elongate. As operating temperatures fluctuate, the over-all tension of the
chain gradually degrades due to "thermal expansion and contraction". Take-Up devices
counteract this to maintain smooth movement. Take-Up devices are available with
counter-weight and spring-operated tension adjustment options. The device consists of a
moveable frame, a f ixed support frame, pulleys, rollers, a counter-weight, and expansion
joints. The device is generally set on the conveyor line where the tension is the smallest, for
example, the closest curved section behind the drive unit.
