Carrying chain conveyor

Typ kf

HORSTMANN suspension chain conveyors are used for horizontal conveying of pallets (transverse to the longitudinal skids), skeleton containers or unit loads within complex systems, e.g. in order picking areas and storage pre-zones. The double-strand suspension chain conveyor with ¾” chain is designed for a total load of 4000 kg per drive and for operation in temperature ranges from ±0 °C to +45 °C. Use in the deep-freeze range down to -35 °C is possible with the selection of suitable components and lubricants.

The suspension chain conveyor can be designed with different strand widths and with two, three or more strands, depending on the requirements of the material to be conveyed. The conveyor chains in the strands serve simultaneously as load-bearing and traction elements. The two-strand versions with strand widths of 920 mm and 1,080 mm form the HORSTMANN standard.

The side rails are made of rectangular tubular profile (120 x 60 x 5 mm) by means of welded-in cross sections to form a torsion-resistant frame and are equipped with screwed-on chain support bars and supports with height-adjustable feet.

The supporting chains are roller chains ¾” according to DIN 8187 but with straight link plates; low maintenance and high strength.

The suspension chain conveyors can be equipped with the appropriate sensor technology (light barriers, initiators, etc. incl. stable and adjustable sensor holders).

A design for higher weights and special applications is possible.
