PLASTIC TABLETOP CHAINS
From standard low friction to specialized high-tech materials for very specific applications, the Rexnord plastic TableTop
range is capable of delivering a wide range of solutions for conveyor applications for virtually any industry.
FEATURES
- High strength materials
For dry running and lubricated beverage applications and also for abrasive applications in glass works, special materials
are available, offering high PV resistance or very low friction.
- Sliding properties
To ensure superior sliding properties, Rexnord uses a number of patented chain materials. In many cases these materials
are especially defined for conveyor applications. All different materials have friction coefficients tailored to the intended
application.
- Flatness
The design of the mould and the control of the production process take care of flatness values meeting the highest
standards. Together with the optimum sliding properties, this will prevent tipping of the products conveyed.
- Standardization
In case handling a number of different chains are used. Standard chains (XL, LF, HP) are used for general conveying of
cases, trays or crates. High friction versions (Rubber Top,
SuperGrip) are used for inclines and declines or on stopper
belts. Version with rollers (LBP) are used in lines feeding palletizers in order to reduce the backline pressure and noise.
The wide product range allows standardization of case handling conveyors, as a result of the same sprockets, track
width, return rollers, return design, wearstrips and hinge width, also in co-operation with stainless steel (60 M 75 and
60 S 75). If plastic modular belts are used for straight running, sideflexing chainbelts are ideal for conveyors with 85 mm
pitch; FGM 1050, FT 1050 and FTM 1060 match with 1000- and 8500-series, FTM 1055 and FT 1055 with 1005- and
7700-series. These chains feature a maximum support area and excellent transfers, even in small radii. For demanding
applications FGM/FTM Magnetflex versions are recommended, whilst the FT tab versions are intended for less critical
circumstances.
- 84 mm wide chains
Rexnord offers a complete range of both plastic and steel chains with 84 mm width, intended for the global beverage
standard 85 mm pitch between the lanes of multi-lane conveyors. In plastic chains the straight running SHP84 and the
sideflexing RHMP84 are companions, running on the same sprockets. The gap between the different tracks/lanes is
minimized compared to the traditional 3.25” chains as well as the gap between the links of the chains, to offer superior
product handling and minimize the risks of products falling.
- D-pins
SHP, RHMP, 1060, 1055, 879, 880 and 882 chains have D-style pins. Once assembled, the pin retention is done by means
of geometrical fit instead of mechanical tension on the hinge eyes. This makes the chain less sensitive for attack by
chemicals; it also allows (dis)assembly from both sides of the chains, reducing the chance of error.
