CONVEYOR EQUIPMENT FOR RIVETLESS CHAINS

X-348/458/678 Conveyor Equipment

• Horizontal Traction Wheel Turns
This type of turn serves the same function as the horizontal roller turn. However, it is more suitable to be used in hazardous
environments. Heating furnaces or areas that are diff icult to maintain, such as dirty, corroded or high temperature working
environments. The device can also be made according to the customer's design with optional angles: 30 degrees, 45 degrees,
90 degrees, and 180 degrees.
All traction wheel turns are made with a separate mounting frame from which both the conveyor track and the traction wheel
shaft mounts are supported. These turns are made of solid discs with self-lubricating brass bearings. Although the traction
wheel is more expensive than roller turns, it provides a smoother operation at high conveyor speeds. This wheel requires less
maintenance due to reduced chain wear and chain pull.

• Caterpillar Drive Units

Selecting the appropriate drive unit to drive the entire conveyor system is critical in achieving a reliable and eff icient conveyor
system. Generally, the drive unit is installed alongside a horizontal straight run of track where the highest chain tension occurs.
One conveyor system only requires one drive unit. It is recommended to use a take-up device, which can be installed 100-
120 meters away from the drive unit, to work alongside with the drive unit. However, as the conveyor line gets longer or more
complicated, it would be necessary to place multiple drive units with a coaxial or synchronous motor.
