NEW Accumulation chains for more efficient conveyor systems

General information Our brands Initial lubrication The iwis JWIS and ELITE brands include an impressive portfolio of accumulation chains, meaning that you can find the perfect chain for your application. JWIS accumulation chains excel through their outstanding precision and load-bearing capacity. In addition to the standard conveyor chains, the range includes a wide selection of conveyor chains that are suited to your application. You can also enjoy the advantages of maintenance-free accumulation chains in the form of our MEGAlife chains. iwis offers various lubrication processes for its accumulation...

The regular maintenance and relubrication of iwis accumulation chains are vital in order to reduce wear at chain drives and increase their service life. Accumulation chains from iwis can be used in many areas of conveyor technology: The maintenance and lubrication intervals depend on the equipment’s operating conditions. It is important to define regular intervals and adhere to them. This is because around two thirds of all chain failures can be avoided with proper relubrication. Appropriate initial lubrication and relubrication are therefore the vital factors for ensuring long chain service...

Product overview PREMIUM QUALITY MEGAlife accumulation chains Accumulation chains with offset rollers Equipped with maintenance-free iwis low-friction support rollers with nickel-plated plates and pins, low-friction sintered-metal accumulation rollers and a special bearing design, these chains are mainly used in the electronics, food, wood, glass and ceramics industries as well as in medical technology, conveyor systems in the automotive industry and all applications where relubrication is difficult or impossible. In this exclusive generation of JWIS accumulation chains, the accumulation rollers...

JWIS accumulation chains smart accumulation chains Selected JWIS accumulation chains have external low-friction support rollers on both sides. These mesh with the sprocket teeth in order to transmit power and also help support the chain profile. One particular feature of these chains are the slightly protruding bushes in the inner link 1 which prevent contact corrosion between the inner link and the outer plate. The b.smart accumulation chains are designed for use in most standard conveyor applications and developed for optimised material transport. You too can benefit from these robust, longlasting...

Product overview ABSOLUTELY RELIABLE EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE Protection for fingers and parts Side bow accumulation chains iwis is able to supply accumulation chains with finger and parts protection that contributes to the safety of both personnel and material. In these chains, the gaps between transport rollers are optimally covered. This prevents small parts from becoming trapped in the gaps and jamming the rollers and/or chain link. The cover also provides protection against the intentional or accidental insertion of fingers during conveyor operation and represents an active accident-protection...

VOLTAGE PROTECTION ESD-compatible accumulation chains Special solutions and innovations The use of non-conductive materials can lead to problems during conveyor operation. High static voltages may build up due to the fact that the transported goods are electrically insulated when lying on the accumulation chain. On the one hand, the high voltages can cause damage to electrical components. On the other, the chain and the components on it attract dirt more quickly if they have a static charge. That is why iwis offers accumulation chains made from ESD-compatible materials. We would be delighted...

A WORD ABOUT FRICTION How accumulation chains reduce friction in conveyor systems What is friction – and where does it come from? Friction occurs between two bodies or objects. It is mainly due to unevennesses in the touching surfaces. Friction is the cause of frictional force, which is itself dependent on two factors: the coefficient of friction and the normal force. The normal force acts perpendicularly to the frictional force – and a higher normal force also means a higher frictional force. As soon as two bodies move relative to one another, losses occur due to friction: These manifest themselves...

A WORD ABOUT FRICTION Reducing the energy consumption of accumulation chains… …through correct installation …through brushes and the CLA system Correct installation of the chain ensures that no unnecessary energy is wasted during system operation. This means that the sprockets and guides must be aligned and that the chain must be tensioned correctly. Good to know: In accumulation chain systems, brushes free the guide components from contaminants which may increase friction if left unremoved in permanent operation. Our CLA (ChainLubrication-Application) system ensures uniform lubrication in the...
