(Side Roller Vonveyor Chain)
Double Flex Chain with outboard carrying rollers moves heavy loads with dependability. Top plate surfaces may be smooth, checkered, nonskid, or channel slatted. Chain pitch can be customized for your application. Double Flex Chains are designed to convey paper rolls,
automobiles, billets, large structural shapes, and more to and from process operations. The Double Flex plate design offers large areas to evenly distribute product load. This minimizes the effect of transfer impacts that can cause product damage. In addition, the top plate protects the chain joint from unwanted exposure to heat or abrasive particles. Because of the heavy load, bearing rollers (optional side rollers) are widely used to provide the lowest chain tension and trouble-free operation (Available in steel or plastic).
