The flexible chain plate conveyor system, also known as a flexible chain plate conveyor, is a type of three-dimensional conveying system that utilizes an aluminum alloy frame along with plastic-steel conveyor chains. It features agility, light weight, good aesthetics, a standardized structure, modular design, fast and flexible installation, system stability, compactness, quiet operation, and no pollution. It is widely used in production lines where high hygiene standards are required, space is limited, cleanliness is important, and a high degree of automation is needed. It has advantages such as a small turning radius and strong climbing ability. It is suitable for use in industries such as pharmaceutical factories, cosmetics factories, food factories, and bearing manufacturers, making it an ideal and convenient product for automated production lines. Flexible chain conveyor belts can be of various sizes; they are adjustable and easy to operate. They can be designed for conveying materials by lifting, pushing, hanging, or clamping, and can be used to achieve functions such as material collection, diversion, sorting, and recombination. Various pneumatic, electric, and mechanical control devices can be installed on them, allowing the creation of production lines in different configurations to meet the specific needs of users. Performance parameters of the flexible chain conveyor: (1) Maximum conveying length per drive head of the flexible chain conveyor: 25M. (2) Operating temperature of the flexible chain conveyor: -20°C to +60°C. (3) Maximum conveying speed of the flexible chain conveyor: 50 M/min. (4) Link pitch of the flexible chain plate conveyor: 38.1 mm. (5) Minimum turning radius of the flexible chain conveyor: R150mm. (6) Tensile strength of flexible chain conveyor: 4000 N. (7) Weight of chain plates on the flexible chain conveyor: 0.7 KG/M. Basic components of a flexible chain plate conveyor: (1) Conveyor chain of the flexible chain plate conveyor: made of white, high-strength engineering plastic. They can be divided into flat chains, universal chains, steel-top chains, wedge chains, ball chains, brush chains, elastic chains, etc. (2) Conveyor beam of flexible chain plate conveyor: composed of aluminum alloy profiles with anodized surfaces and friction slides. It can be divided into standard type and enhanced type. (3) Conveyor frame of the flexible chain plate conveyor: It is also made of aluminum alloy profiles with anodized surfaces. It is divided into light, medium, and heavy types. (4) Flexible chain conveyor drive unit: Composed of aluminum drive heads and tails cast using powder metallurgy processes. It is divided into single-drive, dual-drive, and intermediate-drive types, etc. (5) Flexible chain conveyor guide device: The side guards that ensure the material always moves along the middle of the chain plates. (6) Flexible chain plate conveyor turning device: An internal support mechanism for the chain plates when they turn. They are divided into horizontal elbows, vertical elbows, horizontal wheel elbows, and horizontal wheels, etc. (7) Accessories for flexible chain conveyor belts: including connectors, liquid holding trays, etc.
