Inverted gear conveyor chain

Although inverted-tooth chains are typically used for high-speed drives, they also serve as excellent conveying chains in many applications. There are two main types of inverted-tooth conveying chains: solid-link and spaced-link. The solid-link type offers the largest surface area and greatest structural rigidity. The spaced-link type is lighter in weight and features greater spacing between chain links, allowing air to flow freely across the conveying surface—a feature that is crucial in glass bottle production and other temperature-controlled processes. Regardless of the type, the steel construction is exceptionally robust and durable, capable of withstanding ambient temperatures far higher than those tolerated by many other common conveyor belt materials.
Depending on the style of the pin, there are three types to choose from:
Oval Pin Design – Today, many conveyor systems utilize a single-oval-pin design. This is a durable and cost-effective design that is easy to connect and rivet during installation. The product combines the simplicity of a single-pin design with all the performance characteristics and advantages of our top-of-the-line two-pin chains.
Double-pin type—Our best conveyor chains feature the same design characteristics as our high-performance drive chains. By employing exactly the same design features and best practices throughout the manufacturing process, our conveyor chains deliver long-lasting, reliable performance. The very same characteristics that go into producing high-speed transmission chains also result in excellent conveyor chains.
Round-pin type—The inverted-tooth conveyor chain can also be supplied with a single-round-pin configuration. The round-pin chain offers the flexibility to add spacer washers within the chain. This reduces the chain’s weight and increases the open area, which is advantageous for applications where airflow through the conveyor is critical.
To match your existing sprockets, the inverted-tooth conveyor chain comes with either a center guide or a side guide. The center-guided type features guiding links located at the center of the chain, while the side-guided type has guiding links positioned along the edges of the chain. Other varieties are available upon request.
Our inverted-tooth conveyor chains are available in a wide range of sizes and can be manufactured to any width you require. Common widths range from as narrow as 1 inch up to 12 inches or even wider. We customize the dimensions of the conveyor chains to meet your specific needs. [Click to view more]

Two-tone silent chain

The duplex chain design is intended for driving sprockets from either surface of the chain. It is most useful when multiple sprockets need to be driven. For specific duplex drive applications, please consult TYC for advice and assembly recommendations. [Click to view more]
