TABLETOP CHAINS
lntroduction
One glance at our selection of TableTop chains tells
the story. No one understands total conveying needs
better than Rexnord. From small pharmaceutical vials
to heavy industrial parts, no other manufacturar can match
your application needs to such a broad selection of conveying products.
Likewise, no one else can match our record of innovative engineering, or our painstaking pursuit of quality.
Since 1936, Rexnord engineers have been responsible for !he most importan! technological advances in
the industry. TableTop chains continua to'establish quality standards against which all other conveying products are measured.

Applications Expertise
With !he industry's most knowledgeable team of conveying experts, no one else does a better job of responding lo your complete conveying requirements. That way
you can be confident your conveying and design needs
will be met with the most economical, efficient and reliable means available.

Choice of Materials
Thermoplastic
The smooth resilient surfaces of thermoplastic chain
fights help protect product containers from scuffing and
marring. Available thermoplastics include conventional
acetal, and Rexnord's patented LF acetal featuring
superior scuff-resistance anda low coefficient offriction .
Thermoplastic's lower frictional properties minimiza lubrication and horsepower requirements. Noise is also
reduced because there is no metal to metal contact
between chain and product, or between chain and conveyor structure.
New HP (High-Performance) materialis specially formulated for the beverage industry (both container manufacturers and beverage fillers). lt's reduced friction and
reduced wear make HP ideal for running beverage
conveyors dry. The WHP (White High-Performance)
material is identical to the HP material except for color.
HP is grey-brown and WHP is white. Consult Rexnord for
availability.
For other specialty thermoplastic materials, see pages 6
&7.

Steel & Stainless Steel


Carrying surfaces feature beveled edges, smooth surlace finishes and narrow gaps between top platas to
insure smooth product handling and transfer.

Wide Selection of
Accessories
To help tailor your conveying system to your application needs, a full selection of TableTop accessories are
also available, including : sprockets, idler wheels, corner discs and corner wear strips.

RoundTheCiock Availability
Wide Selection
In addition lo straight running chains, you can select
chains that curve, wind , climb, lift or contribute to lower
line pressures. You can choose from a complete line
of USDA and FDA accepted chains. You also have a
choice of chains constructed from metallic or nonmetallic materials.

Twenty-four hour service from a nationwide network of


authorized distributors and Rexnord regional factory warehouses assures quick delivery of chain where and when
you need it.

FDA & USDA ACCEPTANCE


The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepts certain chain materials for direct contact with food. Rexnord's stainless steel is accepted for direct contact. Most
thermoplastic materials are approved and the qualifications are listed on the individual chain specification
page.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
lnspection Service certifies the design of the product
for use in handling meat, poultry, and dairy products.
The chains accepted for handling food in meat and poultry plants are indicated by "USDA" in the chain specification pages under food handling qualifications. Chains
accepted for use in dairy plants are indicated by "USDA
Dairy." The acceptance will be listed as either approved
for direct contact or for packaged products only.
The information on USDA acceptance included in this
catalog is subject to change. Chains may have been
subsequently approved or disapproved. Contact Rexnord or the USDA for curren! information.

Wherever industry has to move, transfer or deliver the


goods, TableTop chain is the preferred choice.
TableTop's wide selection provides extraordinary conveying system flexibility and total system reliability, which
will keep productivity high and downtime low.

TABLETOP CHAINS
Specialty Chai n Materials
Rexnord has developed a variety of materials for applications that go beyond the capabilities of our standard
materials.
Special materials provide strength and molding characteristics that differ slightly from our standard materials. lt is importan! to contact Rexnord for availability of
certain chain types, as well as for changes in chain
strength, friction or dimensions.
These materials are usually made to order. So mnimum arder quantities may apply.
However, sorne chains are stocked in these materials.
Again, contact Rexnord about your specific requirements.

Rexnord requests that all applications for this material


be cleared through the TableTop engineering department befare price and delivery will be quoted.
Chains of this material have a "AS" prefix.

Flame Retardant (FR)


Aceta! and LF aceta! will burn and support combustion. So, for those environments where flammability is
a concern, llame retardan! materials are available. Chains
of this material have a prefix "FR" .

Heat Stabilized (HS)


A specially formulated material that resists thermal degradation from 2ooF water spray. These applications
include rinsers, sterilizers and pasteurizers.
An "HS" prefix is used to designate this material. Stocked
in 1873G chain as HS1873G.

Chemical Resistance (P)


Aceta! and LF aceta! will be attacked by strong acids
and bases in addition to chlorine and phosphorous. Applications using 'these, or other questionable chemicals,
should consider the chemically resistan! material. Chain
pin material can be altered as well if the normally supplied austenitic stainless steel pin is inappropriate.
This material is denoted by a " P" prefix.

Conductive Thermoplastic
(AS)
Certain applicatons cannot tolerate static electricity and
additionally cannot use metal chains. In these cases
we can provide a conductive thermoplastic material that
will minimize the static charge build-up that standard
thermoplastics can generate.

1-

Magnetic Conveying (SSB)


Certain applications require the use of magnetic wear
strips under the chain to incline or hold down metal products. Either standard thermoplastic one-piece chains or
a special non-magnetic stainless steel one-piece chain
(SSB815) may be used.

TABLETOP CHAINS

Melt Resistant (MR)

Wear Resistant (WR)

Industries such as container manufacturing, baking or


industrial parts processing convey hot products that will
melt the top surface of standard materials. In these
instances, one may use the "MR" material. Depending
upon product mass, this material can convey objects
up lo 375F (hot cans, pans, etc.).

Applications that subject thermoplastics to very abrasive wear, such as castings, machined steel parts, sand,
glass, etc. , will benefit from this special material. In fact,
"WR " may extend wear lile of a chain up to five times
that of an aceta! counterpart in these applications.
"WR " is the prefix used for this material.

An " MR" prefix is used lo specify this material.

Metal Detector Applications


Many standard thermoplastic materials may be used in
metal detectors. However, the stainless steel pins used
to join these chains may not.
Cont&ct Rexnord for availability of thermoplastic pins
in the chain you are considering using.

Ultra-Violet Resistance (UV)


Ultra-viole! radiation will degrade standard thermoplastic materials. This material is for outdoor applications
in direct sunlight or processes requiring the use of UV
light.
These chains are ordered with the prefix " UV".

Sorne applications require increased back-line pressure, and occasionally packaged products may require
conveyance over an increased angla of incline.
For applications such as these, most TableTop plastic
chains are available with a specially modified top surlace which incorporales a high friction insert.
The TableTop High Friction (HF) chains deliver increased frictional qualities while still allowing accumulation of sorne package styles.
Plus, the unique design and assembly of this mechanically fastened, low profile insert ensures against "peel
out". even during the accumulation of chimed cans.
Repair, if necessary, can be handled quickly, simply and
inexpensively.

Ordering lnformation

Ordering nomenclatura for TableTop HF and HFV Chains


is as follows:
HF1873-K3 1/4 is a D1873-K3 1/4 with a high friction
low profile insert
HFDV1873-K3 1/4 is a D1873-K3 1/4 with a high
friction high profile insert
When ordering HF or HFV chain, specify whether every
link in the order is to be high friction, or specify the multiple of links where the insert is required (i.e. every 4th
pitch).

Product weight and surface finish will affect incline and


friction numbers, so published values are difficult to ascertain. Contact Rexnord for figures or testing information .

HFV

The high friction insert is specified using the following


prefixes:

CORNEA TRACKS
FOR SIDEFLEXING CHAINS
CHOICE OF TWO HIGH
STRENGTH MATERIALS
Aexnord furnishes curved corner tracks in two different materials-Nylatron and Ultra High Molecular Weight
Polyethylene. Consult the accompanying illustration and
the following corner track tables for availability, cross
section and mounting details for each type.
Aex curved corner tracks provide the proper chain guide
clearance and thrust surface for proper chain function.
The materials in Rex comer tracks were specially selected
to provide optimum wear resistance.
Corner tracks may expand because of increased temperatures. This may be due to surrounding temperatures, or friction between the track and the transported
chain. When Nylatron corner tracks are water lubricated, expansion due lo moisture absorption may occur.
Therefore, clearance between mating ends of corner
tracks should always be provided . lt's also importan! lo
use non-metallic screws with the Nylatron corner tracks.
lf metal hold down screws are used, severe buckling
of the track may occur as a result of overtightening the
screws.

Clean
In normal seNice, chains will not corrode
contaminate the product. They are easily
washed with water during operation, savirliJ
both time and money.
Easy Maintenance
Chains are engineered for ease of asseml:*y
or disassembly. Since it is lightweight, a 1a
strand of N325WS weighs 12 pounds so
one person can handle routine maintenarce

Wherever corrosion, noise and conveyor/


product damage are primary considerations,
choose from a complete selection of Rex
polmeric chains.
Available with a complete line of accessories, Rex polymeric chains are available in
Straight Running or Double Rex configurations. Plus, they operate over standard metal
or polymeric sprockets.
High strength polymeric link material features exceptional resistance to most chemicals, and offers extended chain life in highly
corrosive applications.
Additionally, the polymeric chain's light
weight helps reduce energy consumption.
And because it results in less "dead weight"
in your conveyor system, it helps extend the
life of related conveyor components.
Chain pins are manufactured from stainless steel, resulting in the greatest chain
strength and wear life at a reasonable cost.

Design Benefits
Simple Two-Piece Construction
Pins are easily assembled into links - yet
pins will not "work out" or rotate in seNice.
No extra spring pins or cotters to fall out or
snag conveyor apparatus.
Light Weight
Less "dead weight" in your conveyor system
will extend conveyor component life-longer
chain life-longer conveyor "way'' life-longer
sprocket life-longer bearing life-longer
reducer life-longer motor life!

The SJmpliclty of the sideflex chains concept ehm1nates the need


for corner transfers: turntables: dead- plates and allendant
machinery. Rex sideflexing conveyor ch ams solve those
conveyor problems where high speed transfers of product was
once a hazardous risk at best - where mass handling to
singleline conveying was a perplexing problem - where plant
layout was sacrificed for lack of design flex1b1lity. The 11fustration

below shows the bas1csof a simple Sldeflexmg conveyor design.

In the operation of TableTopchain conveyors, smooth transfer


o f the conveyed product from one chain to another is essential

tor product protection and prevention ot downtime. The various


methods are described below.

INFEEO C HAl N

SIDE TRANSFERS
Side transfers are the least costly and the preferred method
of product transfer. Although simple in theory. care must be
taken to assure that the chain strands are operating on the
same level or t he outfeed chai n should be slightly lower.
Guide rail positioning, chain wear strip spacing and chain
speeds must all be adjusted to provide smoot h product flow.

outteed chain al lhe highest chordal posiloon ol lhe sprocket.
11 should have a sllght bevel and be as narrow as possoble so
thal th e product conveyed transfers on and off tl1 e deadplate
wothout obstructon.
Flexible deadplates can " !loar' w ith the chordal action ot
the eh a in on the tail sprocket without producing excessive wear.
Extreme precautions should be taken to properly install and
adjust dead-plates, particularly r igid dead-plates.

@ 1

TURNTABLE TRANSFERS
The principies for turntables are basically the same as for
dead-plates. Alignment is vitally importan! to assure smooth
product transter. The edge of lhe turntable is usually bevelled.
Turntables should be mounted slightly lower than the infeed
chain and slightly higher than the outteed chain. This adjustment should be leve! to \f inch ditference in elevation.

CATENARY SAG

n=

Note : For 2873 Series chains only, chain sag when ru nnmg
should be 3- t 2 inches and spacing between dnver sprocket
a nd return sect ion should b 36-inch minimum. Allow lor 2873
and 3873 top plate "kick-up" al headshaft of . t 5 -mch es and
at tailshalt .50-inches.

All TableTop chain conveyors shOuld provide for proper


amount of catenary sag to balance the chain tens1on which is
no! absorbed by the drive sprocket teeth. TableTop cha1ns
should never be run tight. 11 chain sag is excessive or increases
dueto wear. 11should be adjusted. by removing hnks. lo !he
proper amount of sag. Take-ups are no! recommended. 11

A chain r ises and falls slightly due to a chordal action as it


enters a drive sprocke~ or leaves a lail sprocket. Therefore,
the sprocket should be mounted so that the highest point of
the sprocket is no higher than the top of the carrying way
wear strip, otherwise the e hain will rise out of the carrying way.
The distance from the end of the wear strip to the sp rocket
shaft centerline should equal dimension " B", or the wear strip
will interfere with the free articulation of the chain as il enters

Note that the conveyor trame is designed to support the chain on

the wear evenly across the bottom o! the lin k. This open design
os preferred over !ull wodth su pport since it prevents the build-up

strips. For wet abrasive conditions use stainless steel wear strips.
For nonabrasive conditions use UHMWP or Nylatron .

MULTI-INCLINE CONVEYORS
As illustrated earlier. the Rex Multitlex chains are ideal/y suited
for use on multi-ncline conveyors. To assure proper function ing of these conveyors it is importan!:
1. That the chain enters and leaves the disc in the same plane
as the disc.

2. That any change in the angle of chain travel should occur


through down tlexing of the chain - not backflexing.

Maximum incline angle for Multitlex chains should not exceed


ll' inches per foot (104 .2 millim eters per meter). The actual
angle o f incline for an application depends on product stability
and product-chain coefficient of friction.

WHEN tNCLINtNG, the chain must


p ass th rough a transtion zone prior to
entering the disc. The disc should be
tipped so that it les in the same planeas
the leavmg chain . Also. provide for mnimum spacing, D. for the entering c hain.

A great variety of cham returns are possible with Rex Mullillex
chains. This variety of returns offers considerable conveyor
design freedom.

The best type of return for a speciflc case depends on the

The Normal Choi n Tension is determined by odding the ten


sions of the return and corrying sections of the conveyor.

A choin tension which ossumes occumulotion 100 percent of


the time would result in o conservative selection. Oisregording
occumulotion, on the other hond, will leod to under choining
the conveyor which moy shorten choin lile.

Under actual operoting conditions the carry section of the


conveyor moy occosionally become fully looded with the
product. The choin moy continue to run, forcing the product to
occumulate on the conveyor choin. This situotion, known os
Accumulotion or Product Slippoge, creotes on odditionol ten
sion. This tension must be odded to the tension in the carry
section to determine the Choin Tension under the most severe
condition. However, it is importont to note thot occumulotion
moy occur sorne percenloge of lhe total operating lime.

Storting the conveyor olso introduces higher thon normal choin


tension even if momentorily.
Therefore, to moke on economicol selection it is important to
consider PLF (stort-ups, etc.) ond FML {slippoge, etc. ).

INTRODUCTION
Chain tensions for Multiftex chams are determined using the
fotlowing two (2) step procedure. When the chains are used in
a straight runnmg conveyor, Case A s used. Case B and C are
used when the cham is u sed in a sdeftexing mannerwithcorner
turn discs. A turn facto r of 1 .15 shoutd b e used.
When elevating or lowering products it is necessary to modify
the coefficent of fnction between chain and wear st rips, fw.
F1nd sfope factor. Ks. from either nchne curve or decline curve.
Page 108. Multlpfy ths number times the appropnate fncton
coeHicient. fw. Page 108.
Do not modfy the produclchan fncton. fm. Page 108
When catculating chan tens on. break the conveyor mto
sections. Fo r convent1onal conveyors start at the headshaft
and work through the return sec1ion to the tali end, then the

carry section from tail to headshaft. For elevato rs and lowera


tors, start at tail end and work throug h carry section to the
headshaft. See examples.
A peak load factor should be a pphed See Page 108
NOTE: For conveyors longer than 150 feet per drive con
tact Rexnord.
A Chart procedure mvolving use of a calculated "G" factor
can be used as a quick tension calculation approach. lt is
timit ed t o 1701 and 170 1TAB Horizo ntal sidef texlng
conveyo rs having "L" or "U" shaped or equivatent configu
rations. and stationary corners. Use the procedure in the
sideftexmg chain section. Pages 77 to 79 The a ppropriate
LF882 and LF882TAB charts can be :Jsed for the 1701 and
1701TAB ratings.

STEP 11. DETERMINE ALLOWABLE CHAIN LOAD ANO


COMPARE TO CALCULATEO CHAl N TEN S ION

Using S/L for the application, find the allowable Chain Load
for the particular chain from its graph in Figure 25, this page.

The Alfowable Chain Lo ad is governed by the S / L Ratio

lf TA is eQual to or less than th e Allowable Load, the chain


has suff icient strength.

lf TA exceeds the allowable tension, either choose a stronger

softer materials and result In rapid wear of chain and/ or
wear strips. Metal chains and wear strips are recommended
unless previous application experience shows that the ther
moplastic materials give adequate service.

TEMPERATURE
The maximum and mrnimum recommended operating temper
ature for Tablelop chain and wear strips can vary dueto the
presence of moisture. When two different materials are pres
ent in the construction of a Tablelop chain, the more critical
material temperatura rating will apply. lf tempera tu re exceeds
the maximum or monimum shown, contact Rexnord.

Whenever possible, lubrication should be used to assure


maximum chain lile and optimum conveyor operation. Types
ollubrication normally used are: oils. water soluble lubricants,
soaps. and plain water. See Pages 117 and 118 for detailed
lubrication recommendations and methods.
In most conveyors including !hose using both metal and thermoplastic chains, it is advisable to prelubricate both the conveyor
(carrying and return wear strips and curves) and the chain
prior to running. This will achieve best "break in" of chain and
wear strips during the inilial runin.
In sorne applicalions the presence of a lubrican! cannot be
tolerated. lf the conveyed productor operation cannot tolerate
lubrication it is recommended that chains made of LF Aceta!
material be considerad.

STATIC ELECTAICITY
Under certain conditions. thermoplastics can acquire a static
charge. In theory, at least. it is possible that this condition can
cause a spark. Therefore, it is advisable to use extreme caution
when applying thermoplastic chains, sprockets or wear strips
in a combustible environment. Consider "AS" material or metal
chains.

CAUTION
lf thermoplastics are used in a combustible environment, take

the necessary precautons. These include:


1.
2.
3.
4.

Av01d dry and/or cold environment.


Ground entire conveyors using metal components.
Lubricate if possible.
Use static spark suppressors.

Solutions contained in the product conveyed as


well as solutions used to clean or lubricate the chain
and equipment may result in corrosive attack of
chain and tracks. Chain and track materials have
varying degrees of resistance to corrosion. Use
this as a guide to help you select chain materials
for various corrosive environments.
With thermoplastics, do not use cleaning or
lubricating agents with a pH below 4 or above

1O. Or chemicals containing chlorine or free


ammonia. These agents may cause immediate
attack or "crazing" alter severa! applications due
lo concentration by evaporation.
This table is based on data available by
suppliers of the various materials. For those
chemicals with a marginal or unsatisfactory
rating - or for chemicals not included - contact
Rexnord for recommendations.

All TabfeTop chains are acceptable to the F.DA and U.S.DA

GENERAL INFOAMATION
Chain in setv~ce will generally wear out before ot breaks on
fatigue, of it has been selected properly for the apphcation.
For straight runnong chaons. the normal wear areas are the top
flights and pin joints. Sideflexing chains also wear on this
manner. But sideflexing chain wear lil e is usu~lly limoted by
wear of the reach bar surfaces whoch contact the corner
wear strips.
Proper chaon and wear strip selection woll provide optomum
chain and wear strop lile. Frictoon and wear resistance are two
factors which should be consodered when selectong a wear
strip material:
l . The lower the coefhcoent of froction between the chaon and
wear strip, the longer the chain lile.
2 . The greater !he wear resistance of the chaon and wear strop
materoals. the longer the chain lile and wear strop lile.
01 course. the combinatoon of chain tension. top load. type
of lubrication. abrasion and speed of a glven conveyor will
govern the final wear rate of a particular chaonwear strop
combination. The worst conditoon is hogh speed. dry operation.
Rexnord has accumulated many years of apphcatoon ex
perience as well as laboratory test dala on chainwear strop
compatibility. The following general guode Iones will help in
the applicatoon of wear strop materoals.
See Page 116 for specHic recommendallons.

METAL WEAA STAIPS


Metal wear strops are harder than nonmetallics. and in addition
can be heat treated or work hardened to oncrease hardness.
They are. therefore. suited for apphcations where abrasive
particles are present eother from the envoronment or from !he
products carried. Abrasive particles are less likely to imbed
in metal wear strops
For noncorrosive envoronments. plaon carbon steel. cold
fonished, os recommended. For corrosove envoronments use
staintess steel. one Quarter temper mnimum (25 Re) cold
finish.
STEEL
Plain carbon. cold rolled steelos recommended. Surface hnish
should be 3263 RMS Use heat treatable grades where
available and hardened lO 2530 Re. Lubrocants used should
have rust onhibitors added.
STAIN LESS STEEL
Cold rolled hnish (3263 RMS) os recommended An austenotoc
grade offers the best corros ion resistance.
The softer annealed grades of austenotoc staonless steel are
NOT RECOMMENDED. especially w oth thermoplastic chains.
lnteraction between the chaon materoal and the soft stainless
steel moght develop. When this happens. the resullong wear
debris consists almost entirely of finely dovoded staonless steel
particles. nearly black in color. similar to molydisulfode or
graphote. The wear of the staonless steel moght be rapid whole
the thermoplastic chain by contras! exhibots only shght wear

Therefore, ONE QUARTER TEMPER (MINIMUM 25 Re)


austenitic grade stainless is recommended for use w ith any of
the chain materials, but especially with thermoplastic. Marten.
sitie stainless steels can also be used. They offer excellent

wear resistance when heat treated to 2535 Re, but they are
not as corrosion resistant at austenitic.
BRONZE ANO BRASSES
These materials are someti mes used wilh stainless steel
chains. A hard temper material is recommended since a soft
bronze wears rapodly. Typical applications calling for these
metals are those which reQuire nonsparking and antistatic
condihons.
ALUMI NUM
Not recommended due l o poor wear resistance.

NONMETALLIC WEAA STAIPS


Nonmetalhc wear strips have a lower coelficient ol friction
than metals. They are generally easier to install and remove
and provide lor Quieter operatoon. Nylatron is the preferred
materoal. especially for dry operation at high load or high
speed condotions around corners. Ultra high molecular weight
polyethylene is also recommended for all well lubricated
applicatoons and sorne dry applicatoons.
ACETAL
Not recommended for use woth Acetal chains. 11 is best not to
run odentocal plastocs together.
NYLATRON (Corn er t racks availabfe from Rexnord. See
Pages SO and 51).

Nylatron (nylon with molydisulfide filler is the preferred ma


teroal for dry apphcatoons because of its low wear rate and
low froction 11 is especially suited fo r dry operat oon on thermo
pfastic sideflexing chain corners.
Allhough nylatron os more stable in wet applications than
most nylons it woll absorb moosture and expand. Therefore.
room for expansion must be provoded and fasteners must allow
for movement.
ULTRA HfGH MOLECULAR WEfGHT POLYETHYLENE
UHMWP (1900 Series) Corner tracka available from
Rexnord. (See Pages SO and 51).
UHMW polyethylene (molecular weight of at least t .O million)
os recommended for both dry and wet appfications on straight
runs. 11 os afso recommended for all weil lubrica ted corners
and nonlubrocated corners where chain load and speed are
low 11 os NOT RECOMMENDED for dry operation on corners
where the chain loador speed are high.
UHMWP has a wear rate eQuovalent to nylon on nonfubrocated
apphcatoons. 11 is vortually unaffected by moisture and is more
resSiant to corrosove chemic:als than nylon. 11 is notas rigod as
cast nylon and may deflect when subjected to hogh loads trom
sodeflexong chains
TEFLON
This material has perhaps the lowest coefficoent of friction
available in a plastic wear strip materoal. 11 is soft and tends
to flow off the surface and os not practica! as a wear strop
materoal except on low load - low speed applications.
LUBRICANT IMPREGNATED WOOD
Suitable for dry apphcatoons where self.lubrocating properties
o f the materoal are best utolized. Not recommended for abrasiva
conditoons where partocles may ombed on the surface and wear
!he chaon

CHAIN FLIGHT AND WEAR STRIP MATERIALS


The chain flight and wear strip materials must satisfy the re Quirements of the individual applicat ion. These reQuirements
are determinad by the type of product conveyed, and the
environmental conditions d iscussed on Pages 111
. The
chain fl ight should be compatib le w ith t he producl conveyed ,
and the w ear strip compatible with the chain flight.

The tab le below shows t he recommended comb1nation of


c hain (c hain flight material) and wear strip for both st raight
run and sideflexi ng conveyors und er both abrasive and nonabrasive co nditions. The chains are listed in order of increasing
cost. The w ear strops are listed in o rder of preference based
o n performance and/or cosl.
Example : Sideflexing conveyor handling aluminum cans. no
abrasion. d ry operation.

Procedure: In the sideflexing chart, find the column under


NO ABRASION designated DRY. Read down the column to
the proper row for recommended chams and chain fhght
materia l. At t he bottom of the column the recommend ed wear
strip materials are list ed in o rder of preference.
Solution: Chain flight material - Thermoplastic
First choice of c hain - L F880
Wear strip mater ial - Nylatron
For the mildly abrasive applications which lall in between lhe
two extremes. the choice of chain flighl material is still based
on top plate and produc t compatibility. Then non-metallic
wear strips m1ght be used if the chain flight 1s steel or stainless
stee l. Or. if the c hain flight material1s thermoplastic , steel or
stainless steel wear strip s are used.

CLEANING
In many applications. rapid buildup of grease, dirt. grit. sand.
spilfed syrup and beverage can occur. These result in :
1. Soil ing and damage to the conveyed product.
2. increased work demands for the chain and motor.
3. Accelerated sprocket tooth wear.
4 . Conveyor pulsation and wear.
5. Excessive chain wear on the tlight and in the 10int areas.
6. Rapid wear of the wear strips.

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning o f t he chain and conveyor trame is advised.


Such agents as steam. warm water and soap are commonly
u sed. Many times combined "cleaners/lubricants" are applied
continuously. Strong caustic agents used with metal chans
should not be used with plastic chains. Always rinse cleaning
agents completely off ot c hain and conveyor trame. When
excessive amounts ot syrup or other l iquids. broken glass
or debris accu mulate. cleaning wilf be reqUired on a regular
basis to remove these undes~rable materials. 11 s advisable to
have operating personnel keep bru shes and cleanmg solu
tions nearby to remove broken glass and excessive spllage.
CAUTtON: ALL cleaners and lubrlcants must be compatible
with chain and conveyor materials. See Page 112.

INSPECTION

INSPECTION
In th e course ot conveyor opera t1on. periodic nspecton of
th e chain. sprockets and system is required to detect faults
and make repairs before serious damage occurs. The impor
tant thi ng is to set up a regular inspection and maintenance
schedule.
CHECKLIST
1. Look for unusuat wear patterns on the cham.
2 . lnspect chai n for lack of top surface flatness.
3 . Check for excessive gap between flights due to am-up
or overload.
4 . Pulsating, erky cham operat1on ndicales poor lubncaton
ora conveyor obstruction.
5. Check deadplate and turntable clearance.
6. Examine sprockets for signs of excess1ve wear.
7. Examine sprockets tor s1gns of dirt buildup m tooth
pockets.
8. Check for sprocket guide ring wear and possible chain
misalignment.
9 . Ch eck th e ways and wear strjps for excessve wear.
1O. lnspect lubncaton system for proper operation.
11 . Check lhe insde o f c urves and the supporling conveyor
trame for excess heat buildup whch may mdicate an
obstruction in the curve ora high fricl ion area.
1 2. 11 return support rolfers are used. c heck to insure rolters
are free turning.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT


Any malfunctions found during an inspection usualfy stem from
one or more of the following conditions:
1. Severe overloads. jam-ups or wedging of broken glass or

crowns.
2. Severe back-flexing of chain on lhe return carryng ways.
3 . Poor lubrication or no lubrication.
'4. lnterference and obslruction.
5. Worn sprockets.
6. Poor conveyor design.
7. Badly worn or damaged c hain.
These causes should be corrected to avoid fu tu re problems.

REPAIR ANO
REPLACEMENT

Cham and sprockets should be replaced when:


1. The chain measures approximately 123 inches in 120 flights
for 843 and 1843chains ; in 40 flights tor 2873or 2500chains;
in 6t pitches for 1700. 1701. 1701TAB and 1702 chains ; and in
80 flights for all o1her chains.
2. The cham jumps th e sprocket.
3. The flights have worn to about onehalf of the original
thckness.
4. The conveymg surface becomes uneven through wear.
5. The thrusl surface of s deflexing chains wears away and
e~poses the rivet or other metal parts which may cut into
wear stnps or other conveyor components.
6. The sprocket teeth develop a hooked profile or the chain
tends to "hang up" on lhe sprockel teeth.
These suggestons on chain and conveyor care serve as a
glllde toward maintaining continuous. t roublefr ee operation .
lmplementation of a conscientious programmed mainte
nance schedule wilf lead to many productive hours of con
veyor operaton.

Polymeric chains will provide the ultimate in service


when operated with properly designed sprockets. Just
like polymeric chains differ lrom metal chains, so do polymeric
sprockets differ vastly lrom metal sprockets.
The polymeric sprocket must be designed lor the particular
chain considering the chain's special capability and intended
use. Many lactors are taken into account when designing
these sprockets: Tooth pressure angle, pitch line clearance,
bottom diameter, pocket and topping radii and tooth working
lace to name a lew. A poor design in any ol these areas may
cause chain lailure.

Features
Designed specilically lor use with polymeric chains for
greatest chain and sprocket lile.
Made from super tough urethane. Rex sprockets resist
particle embedment, a common problem with sprockets
made lrom UHMWP that can result in rapid chain wear.

Rex Polymeric sprockets increase chain and sprocket lite


by reducing corrosion and l riction. Ouiet running, shock absorbing sprockets also improve system reliability.

One-piece design: Rex polymeric sprockets are all poly


meric, or available with a steel insert cast integral with the
body.
Absorbs vibration and large shock loads thus protecting
the chain and providing quieter operation.
Reduces lriction, which improves chain lile.

The American Chain Association recommends that "Sprockets normally be obtained l rom the manulacturer ol the chain
involved."The Association lurther cautions that "worn sprockets should always be replaced when new chain is installed .. ."

Split sprockets: most sprockets are available in split de


sign lor ease ol installation.
