Step 1
Top Plate Chain Selection Follow the procedure below to select top chain and liner that are most economical and suitable for the application. Step 1: Establish general conveyor conditions Step 2: Select top plate material Step 3: Select liner material Step 4: Determine factors and coefficients Step 5: Select top plate width Step 6: Calculate chain tension Step 7: Determine chain size
Establish general conveyor conditions
(2) Interval (3) Conveyor speed (4) Lubrication requirements (5) Material conveyance regularity
A) Materials conveyed (1) Container material (2) Weight (3) Dimensions B) Conveyor arrangement
D) Environment
(1) Temperature (2) The presence of corrosive chemical substances (See page B-76, Table I) (3) Existence of wear-causing agents, such as glass, paint, metal, powder, or sand
(1) Straight or curved movement (2) Conveyor length (3) Layout (4) Space limitations
C) Other conditions
(1) Conveyor capacity
