Where gripper and conveyor chains solve the handling problem
Chain selection starts with what the product must do: stay retained while changing elevation, move at a defined pitch, carry a slat or fixture, survive washdown, or transmit power into the conveyor. The chain family follows from that duty.
Bottle & container handling
Opposing gripper chains support incline, decline and vertical transfers while contact inserts are matched to the container surface.
Packaging & film transport
Clamp and attachment chains maintain registration when films, foils, bags or sheets must be indexed through a machine.
Slat & carrier conveyors
K and special attachments connect the chain to slats, scrapers, buckets, carriers or assembly fixtures.
Washdown environments
Stainless and material-selected variants address corrosion, cleaning chemistry and lubrication constraints.
General industrial transfer
Roller and conveyor chains cover indexed movement, accumulation interfaces and standard power-transfer duties.
Legacy replacement
Samples and sprocket data resolve ambiguous market codes where multiple suppliers use similar family names.
What changes from one application to another
Grip compound, attachment spacing, chain material, roller arrangement, curve radius, lubrication and sprocket geometry can all change while the headline family name stays similar. A complete RFQ therefore includes the product being conveyed and the conveyor path, not just a chain code.
