Transport chains are available in metal or thermoplastic. In addition, there are countless possibilities when it comes to the tappets, track rollers, coatings, hardened pins and bushings, materials, tolerances, dimensions and hardness types.
A transport chain is generally custom-made but a standard package of flat-top chains and modular conveyor belts is also available — These are packages offered by System Plast, for instance. System Plast has the world's largest range in this segment. The System Plast product range is extremely varied and meets all of the applicable industry standards.
The flat-top chains delivered by System Plast are available in several different designs, including straight or magnetic chain models, a chain with a rubber top, a gripper chain and a box transport chain.
The System Plast range of modular conveyor belts also comprises several models, including a straight and a magnetic model, a model with LBP rollers and a model with a rubber top.
The first-class products available from System Plast represent solutions for all market requirements in terms of efficiency, hygiene, friction and noise reduction.
In principle, the package can be used in any industry, but these products are particularly widely used in the production of foodstuffs, beverages, tobacco and concrete/stone, as well as in the packaging industry. In addition, these products are often used for more specialised applications, such as in canal locks, at airports or in canning factories.
