Our range comprises the entire spectrum of inverted tooth chains, individually tailored for the specific application at hand. This includes matching sprockets to ensure optimum functioning.
An inverted tooth conveyor chain is usually laser-welded or riveted. It is additionally available with ground top-surface or ground on both sides.

Advantages at a glance

• Space-saving and variable in form due to the lamellar structure
• Slip-free and quiet
• Reliable and low-wear thanks to two-pin rolling pivot joints
• Resistant to extreme temperatures and ambient conditions

Each day is different from the next. That's why we offer custom-made inverted tooth conveyor chains to suit a wide variety of requirements and applications.

Depending on their type and shape, the workpieces sit either directly on the chains or are conveyed on pallets or carrier devices that have been specially integrated into the chain.More than 500 different driver link plates are available to help accomplish this task.

Types of custom designs

• Made entirely of ring links or forked plates to carry cross-bars
• Link plates with ridged backs for wood transport
• Special link plates at certain positions, e.g. for fastening mold halves on packaging lines
• Special inverted tooth chains with parts from other manufacturers, e.g. massive driver blocks for cycle lines
• Welded disks for precise plate conveyors

Conveyor chain, like transmission rollerchain, can be manufactured to a number of different international standards. The main standards available are:

British Standard (BS)

This standard covers chain manufactured to suit the British market and markets where a strong British presence has dominated engineering design and purchasing. The standard is based on the original Renold Conveyor Chain design.

ISO Standard Chain

Chain manufactured to ISO Standard is not interchangeable with BS or DIN Standard Chain. This standard has a wide acceptance in the European market, except in Germany. Chain manufactured to this standard is becoming more popular and are used extensively in the Scandinavian region.

Renold has extensive experience in the manufacture of conveyor chain. The Renold specification of conveyor chain has taken many years in design and development to achieve the optimum product.

In order to ensure this is translated into product performance, we strictly control:

• Materials
• Heat Treatment
• Processes
• Fits
• Attachment Assembly
• Lubrication

Renold Ultimate Reliability

• The key to Renold chain reliability is consistency in design and manufacture.
• Maximum chain strength and resistance to wear are achieved by strict control of the material specification and by using state of the art heat treatment processes.
• The consistent overall tolerances of Renold chain make it ideal for conveying systems requiring precise alignment on multi-strand chain layouts.
• Breaking loads exceed the minimum international standards.
• Correct chain selection is essential for optimum performance. Renolds experienced design team are always available to freely advise on particular products and applications.

Standard and Deep Link conveyor chain is available to BS4116 Part 4 as well as ISO 1977, with both Hollow and Solid Bearing Pins.

Extra Strength Standard Conveyor Chain

To complement our standard range of British Standard Conveyor Chain, this extra strength chain is more suitable for conveyor applications selected on ultimate tensile strength (breaking load). Each chain is the same dimensionally as its normal counterpart, for example an extra strength 24000 lbs chain has basically the same dimensions as a normal 12000 lbs series chain. This chain is used extensively in the conveying of animal feed and bulk food stuffs such as grain, maize, wheat and raw food mixtures.

Most of these applications use scraper type conveyor systems that normally have long centre distances between sprockets. Such systems are sometimes slow moving with little or no shock loading. Contact our technical sales staff for selection and applicational details.

These chains are made of high grade alloy steel, whichhas beenaccurately machined and heat treated, to ensure they can withstand the tough demands of draw benches in steel mills.

Pins are pressed into the side bars to prevent pin rotation.Draw benchchains arethe mostbasic constructionof all steel chains.Theyoffer high strengthwell-suited for high tension sliding applications (i.e.steel mill conveyor applications).

The precision conveyor chain, like transmission chain, consists of a series of journal bearings held in precise relationship to each other by constraining link plates. There is, for each strength of conveyor chain, a range of pitches; the minimum pitch being governed by the need for adequate wheel tooth strength; the maximum pitch being normally dictated by plate and general chain rigidity.
