Scope
General‑purpose food‑industry chains support conveyors, packers and transfer equipment exposed to sanitizers, moisture and temperature swings.
Technical characteristics
- Corrosion‑resistant materials and sealed joints to restrict water ingress and residue build‑up.
- Low‑noise tracking on stainless or polymeric guides; options for magnetic return where space is tight.
- Full catalog of accessories: extended pins, hollow pins, K/L/U attachments, double pitch links.
Selection & validation
-
- Confirm allowable working load and speed for each section; avoid oversizing that raises inertia.
- Define lubricant plan (food‑grade oils or dry‑film) and verify compatibility with sanitizers.
Maintenance
-
-
- Adopt documented HACCP checks on chain condition, tension and cleanliness.
- Track elongation and noise; replace before guide wear accelerates.
