Applications
4.2.4 TPU Top Chain Engineered Plastic Top Chain for curved conveyance
Application Example Bottling, canning, and general uses TPU Top Chain (Figure 4.7) is used in similar applications as TTUP Top Chain. Construction and Features (1) TPU Top Chain has side-flexing capability with a minimum radius (R) of 500 mm accomplished by taper-shaped knuckles, and is equipped with float-prevention tabs on plates. A smaller minimum radius of TPU than on TTUP, and the presence of float-prevention tabs, enables this chain to follow complicated layouts. (2) Tables 4.8 and 4.9 show the main functions and available widths for various TPU Top Chains.
