Product Description

Double Pitch Conveyor Chains - Product Introduction

Double Pitch Conveyor Chains are specialized material handling components engineered for efficient, cost-effective transport across a wide range of industrial, packaging, logistics, and bulk handling applications. Characterized by a pitch length twice that of standard roller chains, this design optimizes lightweight operation, low friction, and extended service life—making it ideal for medium-load, long-distance conveying tasks where efficiency and durability are paramount. Suitable for both fixed and modular conveyor systems, these chains balance performance and economy to meet the demands of modern production and material flow operations.

The defining feature of Double Pitch Conveyor Chains is their extended pitch design, typically twice the pitch of ANSI standard roller chains (e.g., 1", 1.5", 2" pitches). Constructed from high-quality carbon steel or optional 304/316 stainless steel, the chains feature precision-stamped link plates, hardened pins, and wear-resistant bushings—all engineered to minimize weight while maintaining structural integrity. The extended pitch reduces the number of components per unit length, lowering overall chain weight and rotational inertia, which translates to reduced energy consumption and less stress on conveyor drives. Link plates undergo quenching and tempering heat treatment, achieving a surface hardness of HRC 40-46 and excellent core toughness, effectively resisting fatigue and premature wear under continuous operation.

Optimized for smooth, low-friction operation, Double Pitch Conveyor Chains feature precision-ground rollers and tight component tolerances that ensure consistent meshing with sprockets. The extended pitch design reduces contact points between the chain and sprockets, minimizing frictional loss and noise during high-speed operation. For applications requiring material retention or specialized transfer, these chains are compatible with a full range of attachments—including cleats, side plates, pushers, and scraping blades—securely fastened via riveting or welding. The attachment-friendly design allows for easy customization to suit incline/decline conveying, gap-controlled transfer, or bulk material handling, without compromising the chain’s structural stability.

Engineered for universal industrial compatibility, Double Pitch Conveyor Chains adhere to international standards (ANSI, ISO, DIN) and seamlessly fit standard double-pitch sprockets, drives, and conveyor frames. The lightweight design is particularly advantageous for long-span conveyor systems, reducing the load on support structures and drive motors. To adapt to harsh operating conditions, optional corrosion-resistant treatments are available—such as electroplating, hot-dip galvanizing, or anti-rust coating—making the chains suitable for wet, dusty, or hygienic environments (e.g., food processing, outdoor material handling, and pharmaceutical packaging). The chain’s modular design also facilitates easy installation, repair, and extension of conveyor lines.

Low maintenance and cost-effectiveness are core design priorities of Double Pitch Conveyor Chains. The reduced component count and wear-resistant construction minimize the need for frequent lubrication and part replacement, lowering long-term operational costs. The smooth roller design resists debris accumulation, ensuring continuous operation in residue-prone environments and reducing unplanned downtime. Every chain undergoes rigorous quality control testing, including load-bearing trials, wear resistance cycling, dimensional accuracy inspections, and corrosion resistance tests, to guarantee reliable performance in medium-load conveying applications. Additionally, the extended service life of these chains further enhances their cost-efficiency compared to standard roller chains.

Key Design & Structural Features

Pitch AdvantageDouble pitch (2× standard chain pitch) reduces the number of chain links and sprocket teeth required for the same conveying length, lowering overall system cost and simplifying installation. The longer pitch also enhances load distribution for heavy, bulky materials.
Component Configuration

Roller Types: Available with standard rollers (for low-friction sliding on conveyor beds), large rollers (for uneven surfaces), or rollerless bushings (for high-load drag applications).
Plate Design: Thicker side plates than standard chains for improved tensile strength; hollow pins are optional for mounting attachments directly.
Attachments: Customizable options including A1/A2 extended pins, C1/C3 carrier plates, K1/K2 offset lugs, and W1/W2 scrapers to suit bulk material, carton, or part conveying.

Material & Finish

Oil-blackened: For dry, indoor environments.
Zinc-plated/hot-dip galvanized: For mild corrosion resistance (outdoor/humid settings).
Stainless steel (304/316): For food processing, chemical, or washdown applications.

Base Material: Heat-treated alloy steel (pins induction-hardened for wear resistance; plates shot-peened for fatigue strength).
Surface Finishes:

Performance Limits

Operating temperature: -20°C to +120°C (stainless steel up to +200°C).
Max operating speed: ≤1.5 m/s (optimized for low-speed conveying; not recommended for high-speed power transmission).
Safety factor recommendation: ≥4 (for static loads) / ≥6 (for dynamic/vibrating loads).

Application Scenarios

Primary Uses: Packaging lines, automotive assembly conveyors, grain elevators, pallet handling systems, and bulk material (coal, aggregate, fertilizer) transport.
Ideal Conditions: Low-speed, heavy-load, long-distance conveying where space and cost efficiency are priorities.
Limitations: Not suitable for high-speed power transmission or high-impact applications; avoid exposure to strong acids/alkalies unless using stainless steel variants.

Selection & Maintenance Guidelines

Model Matching

Choose the chain model based on conveyed load weight, center distance, and attachment requirements. For example, C2040 for light carton conveying; C2080 for heavy pallet handling.
Match with ANSI/DIN standard double pitch sprockets (do not use standard single-pitch sprockets, as they will cause uneven wear).

Installation Tips

Ensure the conveyor bed is level to prevent lateral chain drift.
Maintain proper tension: 1–2% of center distance (slack side sag should be minimal to avoid chain derailment).
Use chain guides (UHMWPE or steel) for long conveyors to reduce friction and wear.

Maintenance Best Practices

Lubricate pins and bushings every 1–2 weeks with high-pressure grease (use food-grade lubricant for food industry applications).
Inspect attachments monthly for loose welds or deformation; replace worn rollers/pins immediately to prevent chain failure.
Clean galvanized/stainless steel chains regularly to remove debris buildup.
