1. High Load Capacity & Impact Resistance
The 963 chain plate features a thicker cross-section and wider hinge design compared to smaller pitch belts, supporting heavier product loads and withstanding impact from dropped cases or palletized goods. It is ideal for applications where metal containers, heavy automotive parts, or bulk bags are conveyed without belt sagging or premature hinge wear.
2. Open-Hinge Design for Drainage & Cleanability
The generous open area between hinge rods allows liquids, fine debris, and wash water to fall through freely, preventing product carryover and bacterial growth. This design is critical for food processing lines requiring frequent washdowns (e.g., meat, poultry, seafood). The belt can be easily cleaned with hot water, steam, or mild detergents, supporting strict hygiene standards.
3. Modular & Tool-Free Repair
Individual 963 chain plate modules are linked by stainless steel or plastic hinge rods, enabling quick replacement of damaged sections without dismantling the entire conveyor. The belt can be cut to custom widths using standard tools, and edge modules are available for finished edges. This modularity reduces downtime, spare parts inventory, and maintenance costs.
Product Uses
1. Beverage Can & PET Bottle Conveying
The 963 chain plate is widely used in high-speed filling, rinsing, and packaging lines for aluminum cans, glass bottles, and PET containers. Its wide, flat surface provides stable transport, preventing tipping at transfer points. The open hinge drains spilled beverages away, reducing slip hazards. The belt handles single-file and mass flow configurations at speeds up to 50 m/min.
2. Food Processing – Meat, Poultry & Seafood
In raw or cooked protein processing lines, the 963 chain plate transports whole birds, fillets, trays, or bulk portions through washing, chilling, freezing, and packaging stations. The open hinge allows blood, ice melt, and wash water to drain, keeping the belt clean. FDA-compliant acetal or PP grades are available for direct food contact, and the belt withstands frequent high-pressure washdowns.
3. Automotive & Heavy Component Assembly
The 963 chain plate moves engine blocks, transmission housings, wheel rims, and stamped metal parts between machining, painting, and assembly stations. Its high load capacity supports heavy pallets or fixtures, while the low-friction surface reduces drive power consumption. The belt resists oils, coolants, and shop-floor debris. Optional anti-skid inserts prevent part shifting during incline or decline sections.
