Plastic Modular Chain Raised-Rib Type

Raised-Rib Type— The Newest Member of the Tsubaki Plastic Modular Chain Line-up Raised-rib Plastic Modular Chain works in combination with transfer plates to eliminate the gap that occurs at transfer points (see illustration at right). It prevents conveyed items from becoming entangled or snagged, providing for smooth conveyance. Closed Type WT3835-K Chain New expanded line-up of versatile 38.1mm-pitch Plastic Modular Chain. Now more than ever, Tsubaki offers the Plastic Modular Chain that will meet your needs. Newly introduced 38.1mm-pitch closed-type Plastic Modular Chain provides even greater...

Raised-Rib Chain Features Dead plate Transfer plate Chordal action Chordal action When using a dead plate where the leading edge of the plate is situated forward of the sprocket center, the width of the gap between the dead plate and the top surface of the chain will vary as a result of the up and down motion of the chain caused by chordal action. Conveyed objects may get caught in the gap and tip over depending on their shape. When using a transfer plate, the comb-like fingers of the transfer plate begin sliding in-between the ribs of the top surface of the chain at a point where chordal action...

Plastic Modular Chain Type Chart Applicable Series • Multi-purpose type with a flat, smooth top plate with no openings. Has a proven track record of use in a wide range of industries, including the can manufacturing and bottling industries, but also in the dairy, bakery, and confectionery industries. • This type is also effective in conveying glass bottles such as mini-bottles (as a measure to prevent broken bottles). Also suitable for PET bottle conveyance, including bottles with a petaloid base. WT1505 (including G, GTO) BTC6 (including –A) BTC8 (including –A) BTC8S, WT2250FT WT2505 WT3005...

Applicable Series With FloatPrevention Tabs • Flight attachments are mounted on the plates, spaced several links apart, to enable reliable conveyance for inclined conveyors or for conveyors submerged in water baths. • Flight heights of 25.4mm, 50.8mm, and 76.2mm are available. With Flights • This type is equipped with float-prevention tabs. These attachments prevent the chain from floating up, and keep the chain securely in position in sections of the conveyor that are inclined from the horizontal. Fixed Width • This type is matched to the standard plate width of Top Chain (also available with...

Plastic Modular Chain Raised-Rib Type: Straight Running Features Small-pitch raised-rib chain that, when used in combination with a transfer plate, eliminates the difference in level at transfer points, making it possible to prevent containers from toppling. Recommended for conveying small containers and rubber sheeting.
