Chain conveyor / overhead monorail / horizontal

There is a wide variety of suspended chain conveyors, but they can be easily divided into "closed" and "open" rail types. Both these chain conveyor types are included in the Railtechniek range.

General Concept: A suspended chain conveyor always forms a closed loop. This loop consists of a chain which is driven over or through a rail profile by a caterpillar track or chainwheel drive set. Horizontal bends, as well as vertical drops and rises, can be built into a chain conveyor circuit. The weight of the loads to be carried by the chain and the circuit length are the critical points in determining the choice of chain.

In a number of cases, the operating conditions determine whether an open or closed chain conveyor is used. Usually, a closed-rail type with a short-link universal joint chain is selected, this can hinge in three dimensions. Such a system is flexible and the chain is safely enclosed in a rail tube. Beside the lack of this safety aspect, an open-rail type also has the disadvantage that each bend has to be fitted with a wheel guide. The rise and fall angle is limited and requires a long approach length for a limited difference in level. However, the breaking strength and load capacity is considerably higher than for closed conveyors. An open-rail type with trolleys connected by drop-forged links can be found in foundries, rolling mills, steel sandblasting and enamelling workplaces and in car and farm machinery assembly lines. They are internationally indicated as 3.4.8, 4.5.8 and 6.7.8-inch systems. The numbering gives the strength and dimensions of the chain.
