The Tank Suspension Bracket is a support assembly that suspends water troughs, washdown tanks, and collection pans from conveyor side frames. Constructed from austenitic stainless steel wire with nylon clamping components, the bracket mounts to conveyor profiles and holds troughs at adjustable heights beneath the conveying surface. It is used in food processing lines, beverage tunnel systems, and industrial washing equipment where under-conveyor tanks require secure, hygienic mounting.
Tank Suspension Bracket Construction and Material Specifications
Material Composition
The wire frame of each tank suspension bracket is formed from austenitic stainless steel (grade 304), which provides corrosion resistance for wet and chemically exposed environments. The clamping blocks and pressure washers are made of nylon, a non-corrosive material that grips the conveyor profile without scratching metal surfaces. The stainless steel wire is bent to specific shapes corresponding to different conveyor frame widths and trough mounting styles.
Structural Design Features
The bracket assembly consists of a formed wire hanger, a square nylon hook clamp block, and a circular nylon pressure washer with a stainless steel insert. The wire hanger hooks over the top edge of the conveyor side frame and extends downward to support the trough lip. The nylon clamp block secures the vertical position of the bracket along the wire. Multiple bracket models (CA-GZ-SCA, CA-GZ-SCB, CA-GZ-SCC, CA-GZ-SCD) accommodate different conveyor frame widths and mounting configurations.

Tank Suspension Bracket Installation and Maintenance Notes
Mounting Compatibility
The bracket hooks directly onto the top lip of standard conveyor side frames. The square nylon clamp block slides along the vertical wire section and locks the bracket at the desired height. The circular pressure washer distributes clamping force against the trough edge to prevent shifting. Different component models (A through D) correspond to specific conveyor frame widths and trough profile dimensions.
Cleaning and Service Guidelines
All bracket components can be cleaned in place with high-pressure water spray and common industrial detergents. The smooth stainless steel wire and nylon surfaces do not harbor bacterial growth. Nylon components should be inspected periodically for wear in high-vibration applications. Replacement clamp blocks and pressure washers are available as individual spare parts without requiring full bracket replacement.
FAQ
What material options are available for tank suspension brackets?
Standard production uses grade 304 austenitic stainless steel for the wire frame and nylon for the clamping components. Grade 316 stainless steel wire can be supplied for applications involving high chlorine levels or saltwater exposure. Food-grade nylon material is used as standard for all contact components.
Can tank suspension brackets be customized to specific trough dimensions?
The CA-GZ-SCA, SCB, SCC, and SCD models cover standard conveyor frame widths and trough sizes. Custom wire bending dimensions, extended length options, and modified clamp configurations can be produced for volume orders. Customers can provide conveyor frame drawings for compatibility verification before custom production.
What is the lead time for tank suspension bracket orders?
Standard component models ship within 3 to 5 business days for small quantities. Bulk orders for full line installations require 5 to 7 business days. Custom bent brackets have longer lead times depending on tooling requirements and order volume. All lead times are calculated in business days.
How do I select the correct bracket model for my conveyor?
The correct model depends on the conveyor side frame width, trough lip thickness, and required suspension depth. Model A, B, C, and D each correspond to different frame dimensions. Technical drawings with dimensional specifications are available for each model to confirm fit before ordering. On-site measurement of the conveyor frame profile is recommended for first-time orders.
