Conveyer Chains, like transmission chains, are a series of journal bearings secured together by constraining plates linking each journal bearing. Production facilities can only be efficient when they’re running at peak productivity — something that’s impossible if conveyor belts are slow or saggy. The heavy loads and high pressure to which your conveyor chain is subjected can be incredibly damaging, especially if you’re using sub-standard chains. The conveyor chain is a staple in the food production and citrus industry, allowing large quantities of goods to be moved speedily from location to location. PEER Chain’s conveyor chains are available in a variety of corrosion resistant materials, including stainless steel and ProCoat. Additionally, ask for our available Quest technology with solid bushings for longer life. Our conveyor chains are sturdy and long-lasting, allowing you the peace of mind that PEER Chain will keep you running.

Chain conveyor systems have been in use for decades, and are the preferred method for moving heavy boxes, pallets and machinery from place to place. Single or double pitch chains work to pull the loads forward by leveraging friction. The first conveyors are thought to have been used more than 200 years ago and were made of wooden beds with a leather belt running through the top. These primitive tools were manually driven with pulleys and hand cranks, offering a more powerful and economic way of transporting the goods of farmers from the port out to ships for sale. Later incarnations of conveyors coincided with the industrial revolution and were used to move materials such as charcoal and gravel in bulk and were responsible for major increases in productivity in mining facilities. Modern conveyor belts are now made of a variety of materials, but the conveyor chain is still used to carry materials of all weights and types.
Conveyor chains are used in a variety of applications as diverse as food service and automotive parts. Historically, the automotive industry has been a major user of this type of transportation of heavy items between various stations within a warehouse or production facility.

The key challenge with conveyor chains is that they tend to elongate over time because of the heavy weights that are passed through the systems. If you’re experiencing any of the following problems, it may be time to replace your conveyor chains:
Sprocket wear
Excess slack in the chain due to wear
Corrosion or wear of the bushings and pins
Abnormal load action
