Chains for the beverage industry
Chain specialist iwis has introduced hardened, wear-resistant stainless steel flat top chains which are used, for example, for conveying bottle crates and returnable bottles. The new chains are surface-hardened with a special process to reduce wear and maintenance costs.
The flat top chains consist of plates that are connected to each other with single and double hinged joints. This design allows the construction of chains with a width of up to 305mm for both straight-line and curved tracks, onto which the products can be directly placed.
Sold under the Flexon brand, the flat top chains combine stainless steel and a hardened surface of up to 67 HRC, combining the advantages of carbon steel and cold-rolled stainless steel in a single material.
