CARBON & STAINLESS STEEL FLAT TOP CHAINSMaterials Used in Chain Production1. Carbon Steel

Plate Material: C45 (mediumcarbon) through hardenedPin Material: C15 (low carbon)carburized and case hardenedProperties: Through hardening topplates to 44-46 Rc provides highstrength, toughness and excellentresistance to wear abrasion.Carburizing chain pins results in highsurface hardness, approximately 60Rc, which provides excellent wearproperties while maintaining aductile core for shock resistance.These chains are particularly wellsuited for glass manufacturing andfor handling heavy-duty automotivecomponents. Note: This material willrust if not properly lubricated.

2. Stainless Steels

2.1Standard (400 Series)

Plate Material: AISI 430 (EN 1.4016)Primary Alloy: 17% ChromiumPin Material: AISI 431 (EN 1.4057)Properties: Rust and corrosionresistant stainless which offers aneconomical price structure.Acceptable for use in applicationswhere high speed or resistance tochemicals are not operatingconsiderations.

2.2Extra Specialty Stainless

Plate Material: EN 1.4589 ExtraPrimary Alloys: 15.5% Chromium,2.5% Nickel, 1.2% Molybdenum,0.5% TitaniumPin Material: Special Cr-Ni Stainlesswhich undergoes an additionalhardening process specificallydesigned to not impair corrosionresistance.Properties: A unique stainless steelfeaturing an additional level of coldrolling which raises both the tensilestrength and surface hardnesssignificantly. This process alsocreates a very flat and smoothsurface which is necessary for highspeed bottling lines. The hardenedpin provides excellent resistance towear and galling even under harshconditions where lubrication may notbe possible.

2.3Austic (300 Series)Plate Material: AISI 304 (EN 1.4301)Primary Alloys: 18.0% Chromium,8.0% NickelPin Material: AISI 301 (EN 1.4310)Properties: The traditionalAustenitic grade of stainless steelwhich provides excellent chemicaland acid resistance. This material isnon-magnetic.

These chains were designed toprovide a top plate surface witha grip effect to allow products tobe inclined on conveyors at anangle of up to 20°.

The basic chains utilized are the815 and 805 series in straightrunning format. These chainsare intended to replace roughtop belting for crate or boxhandling and provide thefollowing advantages overtraditional belting:

• No slippage due to positivetooth sprocket drives, one wayclutches are not needed.

• Higher loading capacities.• Planned maintenance

improved as chain wear iseasier to monitor than thetendency of a belt to tear.

Straight running 815 TABversion also provides a methodof chain return which preventsthe rubber top from having torun against another surface.

STAINLESS STEEL FLAT TOP CHAINSSide-Flexing: Optimal 8810 Series881O (Optimal) SeriesAvailable Materials:• Specialty Stainless Steels• Featuring ground surface finish• Carbon Steel made to order

Optimal 8810 series is based on traditional 881 side-flexing chains.By optimizing the design of thetop plates, the chain’s links areable to “nest” more closely, thusproviding improved productstability at high speed.

As with the 881 series, all 8810chains require either a bevel orTAB to be welded on theunderside of the chain. These tooreceive our unique grindingoperation to remove anyundesirable marking from thewelding process.

A special feature of the 8810series is the inclusion of the 3 1/2"(88.9 mm) width. This affords theuser an option other than thetypical 3 1/4" and 4 1/2" widths.

finish

Side-flexing chains createpossibilities to convey productsaround corners without the useof turntables or dead-plates. All881 chains require a weldedguide shoe on the underside ofthe chain to provide a methodof hold down in the guide track.Without these “shoes” the chainwould have a tendency to liftwhen operating in the curveunder load. Guide shoes areavailable in two forms:

• Bevel: Utilize an 8° dovetailwhich provides a simple buteffective anti-lift device.

• TAB: Utilize a positiveretention shoe which fits into aT profile guide slot. Ideal forheavier loads.

NOTE: Following the weldingoperation, 881 chains oftenhave slight heat distortion andthe appearance of unsightlyweld marks on the top platesurface. In order to restore thetop plate to the ultimate inflatness and smoothness.881 chains receive aunique grinding and polishingoperation to restore the topplate’s smooth surface finish(within 24 Micro inches).

PLASTIC FLAT TOP CHAINSMaterial Used for Plastic Chain Production1. Acetal Plastic (POM)

Acetal is an engineering Polymerwith an outstanding range ofmechanical properties. These are:• High strength and stiffness. • Anhydrous (will not absorb water).• Excellent fatigue resistance. • Excellent sliding properties. • Exhibits low friction coefficients.• Extreme temperature ranges from

40° to +180° F (–40 to 80° C).

Acetal chains are available in twobasic grades:

1.1 Delrin® Acetal

This is the original basic compoundintroduced in the 1950s and containsno self lubricating additives whichreduce friction, heat build up, noiseand the slipstick effect. For thesereasons D Acetal is now rarely usedas a side-flexing material.

1.2 Low Friction Acetal

This material was developed in the1970s and contains a smallpercentage of PTFE which reducesits friction coefficient substantially.“LF” has since become the industrystandard for plastic conveyor chainsand is the ideal choice for mostapplications. However, as industrialdemands become ever tougher LFhas certain limitations under dryconditions:• Black powder oxidation, especially

on high speed aluminum can lines.• Wear and tear at fast speeds,

especially against UHMW PEwearstrips.

• Noise when side-flexing. • Stress corrosion cracking when

conveyors are washed down withsuch cleaning agents as HydrogenPeroxide.

These factors have been predom-inant in the development of our latestmaterial, created for the demands ofthe next century: New Generation.

2. New Generation

Exclusively developed inconjunction with DuPont, thismaterial looks to the futurerequirements of conveying chains:higher speeds, reduced lubrication,less wear, less tear. The benefits areclear:• High Wear Resistance

Offers dramatically superior wearlife against UHMW PE or Stainlesswear strips as well as reducingwear between chain and product.

• Improved Coefficient of FrictionDue to the addition of specialdispersed lubricants.

• Improved FlatnessOffers a new surface finish formore accurate conveying.

• Improved Chemical ResistanceAgainst such cleaning agents asHydrogen Peroxide.

• Improved DurabilityLasts longer than standard Acetalconveyor chain and can provemore economical in the long run.

• High UV ResistanceDue to the special chemicalcompound a high level ofresistance to UV rays is possible.

• Lower NoiseNoise is a factor of the PV ratio(Pressure/Velocity) when chains areforced to run in curves. Thechemical compound of NG virtuallyeliminates squeaking under dryconditions.

• Higher Temperature LimitsThe higher temperature range ofup to 250° F (120° C) means thatNG can often be utilized withoutgoing to the expense of a specialand costly High Temperatureplastic grade.

3. Special Purpose Materials(Made to Order)

High Temperature Polymer

For applications exceeding 250° F(120° C), a high temperature gradeshould be used (for example in heatshrink tunnels or ovens). In eachcase please consult Flexon.

Anti-Static

This material utilizes an Acetal basecontaining special additives(including Carbon) which provideuser protection against static chargebuild up. Often used in theautomotive and electronicsindustries.

Extra Low Friction

This material can be used for areaswhere an extreme low frictioncoefficient is required. Althoughextremely “slidable” the material isvery soft due to the amount ofadditives contained and will wearrapidly if weight or pressure becometoo high.

Magnetic SystemChains

881 M and 8857 M chains run inthe Dual Magnetic System Curves.Magnetic System chains aresecurely retained in the curve bythe small permanent magnets,located under the hinge of thechain in the upper part of thecurve.The 881 M series chains run in thesame Dual Magnetic Systemcurves as the 880 M and 879 Mplastic chains.They have 42mmwide hinges, the same as 815series, straight run chain, so usestandard 815 series sprockets.

The 8857 M chains, both stainlesssteel and plastic run in the new,heavy duty Dual Magnetic Systemcurves.The Novoflex 881 MO (OptimalSeries Chain) is a furtherdevelopment of the 881 MagneticSystem Chain. The standardradius for most 325 curves is500mm. The 881 MO chain has adifferent shape which alters theminimum sideflex radius of thebetween the links. The smaller gapensures greater product stabilityand less possibility for debris tobecome trapped between thelinks.

Series 8857Stainless steel chains have a widerhinge, 57mm to match the hinge ofthe heavy duty LF 882 chains.The wider hinge on the SSE 8857M K 750 chain means a 35%increase in the tensile strength ofthis chain compared to the normal42mm hinge wide chains.SSE 8857 M K 750, LF 8857 M K750 and NG 8857 M K 750 chainshave the same hinge width, andwill run in the KMD 8857 DualMagnetic System curves.Widersprockets are also available.These sprockets are manufacturedfrom solid Polyamide and are alsoavailable in split form.

PLASTIC FLAT TOP CHAINSStraight Running: Double-Hinge Series 821

821821 SeriesAvailable Materials:• Delrin Acetal (to order)• Low Friction Acetal• New Generation• Anti-Static Acetal (to

order)• Stainless Steel Pins

These are heavy dutystraight running chainswhich, due to the length ofthe pin and hinge area, haveload carrying capacities onthe same level as the single-hinge stainless steel 815series. As with the 820chains the 821 hasunderside reinforcement butthe design of the webmeans that the sprockets donot require grooving.Sprockets for these chainsare thus identical to the 805Double-Hinge Series.

All 821 chains feature thespecial overlapping topplate system of “arcuic”design which has the dualbenefit of eliminating thegaps between plates andcreating a self clearingaction to remove debrisor dust.

821 chains feature thethicker top plate of 3/16"which makes themcompatible in ride height tothe 831, 879 and 882 series.

PLASTIC FLAT TOP CHAINSStraight Running: Single-Hinge 820 and 831 Series

820 - 831

820/831 SeriesAvailable Materials:• Delrin Acetal• Low Friction Acetal• New Generation• Anti-Static Acetal• Stainless Steel Pins

These chains were designedas the plastic alternative to thestainless steel 815 series andconsequently share the samebasic dimensions. However,plastic chains are not able towithstand the loads carried bysteel chains and therefore acentral reinforcing bar isfeatured on the underside. Forthis reason the sprockets for820 and 831 chains aregrooved to allow for this bar.

All 820 and 831 chains featurea special overlapping top platesystem of “arcuic” designwhich has the dual benefit ofeliminating the gaps betweenplates and creating a selfclearing action to removedebris or dust.

831 chains have the samehinge and overall dimensionsas the 820 series but feature athicker top plate of 3/16" whichmakes them compatible in rideheight to the 821, 879 and 882series.

SPECIALTY PLASTIC FLAT TOP CHAINSStraight Running: LBP 821/831 Low Back Pressure

LBP 821LBP 831

LBP SeriesAvailable Materials:• Low Friction Acetal• New Generation Rollers• Stainless Steel Pins

LBP (Low Back Pressure) chainsare used in conveyor systemswhere backline pressure canoccur. Under these conditionsthe chain will continue to rununderneath the product but thetop surface rollers will rotate,remove line pressure andconsequently prevent damage toproducts. The LBP chain willprovide positive motion whenbackline pressure is removed.

The rollers are attached to thetop of the chain by a series ofstainless steel axles. The smallcenter distance of these axlesoffers a very stable conveyingsurface which can also be usedfor heavy duty goods. Rollersproduced in New Generationmaterial provide reducedoperating noise levels.

821 LBP series are available inall standard widths.

PlasticMagnetic SystemChains

Plastic Magnetic System Chainsalso run in the Dual MagneticSystem Curves. Plastic MagneticSystem Chains do not have Tabs orBevels, it is the stainless steel pinsin the chain which are attracted bythe magnets embedded in theDual Magnetic System Curve. Thechain is securely retained in thecurve with minimal effect on chainloading. The pin material is aFerritic Cr-Ni Stainless Steel which ismagnetic but also gives very goodcorrosion and wear resistance.The LF / NG 879 M and LF / NG8857 chains have a thicker topplate, 4.8mm to match the 821,831and 882 series chains.The 8857 M series chains, have awider and deeper hingeconfiguration than the 880 and 881series chains. This means that theyrequire different, heavy dutycurves (reference KMD 4...)Special curves for case conveyorsare also available.All Plastic Magnetic SystemChains are available in LF Acetaland also in NG, New Generation,high performance material.

Compact curves provide a fast andtrouble free solution to conveyorbuilding.Produced from Polyethylene UHMWPE 1000 to consistently guarantee aperfect radius and clearancebetween the chain. The materialdoes not absorb moisture thuspreventing expansion andpossibility of “trapping” chain.UHMW PE 1000 is also highly wearresistant and noise absorbing.

Guide Sections are also available instraight running form.Standard length=2 meters.

Order Example (per Set)Double strand bevel design for 880-K-450R1=610 mm, R2=730 mmincorporating two strands within two curvesections-top and return run-plus cover plate forretaining return run

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES & FRICTIONAL VALUES

Coefficient of Friction

The values forcoefficient of friction,between chain andwearstrip and between

chain and product being conveyed,are empirical data gained underlaboratory conditions. The actualcoefficient of friction for any specificinstallation can vary significantly andis dependent on factors such aslubrication, surface condition of thechain, wearstrip and product, on thecleanliness of the surface, on theconsistency of surface finish, etc.

These figures should therefore beused as a guide and applied withexperience and knowledge of theactual application and installation.

Choice of Wearstrips

The two most commonlyused wearstrips arestainless steel andUHMW PE. The chart

on the previous page indicates the coefficient of friction for both.Flat Top chains will operate effectivelyon these and on many otherwearstrip materials. The purpose ofthe wearstrip is to prevent wear tothe conveyor frame, to reducefriction and to reduce wear on thechain. The material of the chain andof the wearstrip must therefore becompatible. If stainless steel is usedas a wearstrip under plastic chain, itshould have sufficient hardness andcorrosion resistance to preventoxides being drawn from the steelwhich can cause accelerated wearto the plastic chain.

LubricationCorrect lubrication isimportant to prolong thelife of any conveyorchain and wearstrip.

Lubrication will also provide asmoother running conveyor with lessmaintenance. Developments withinthe conveyor industry itself in recentyears has brought the introduction ofsynthetic compounds to replace thetraditional soap/water solutions.Synthetic lubricants are usuallyenvironmentally friendly as they tendto dilute more efficiently in sewagetreatment. Modern conveyor chaintechnology data must now addressthe issue of synthetic lubricants.Today’s complete list of Flat Topchain lubricants can be generallylisted as follows:a) Light Oilb) Soap/Water Mixc) Water Onlyd) Water with cleaning agente) SyntheticSynthetic lubricants sometimesinclude a built-in cleaning agentwhich can also lead to chemicalattack, particularly with standardplastics.

For further information you shouldconsult the conveyor manufacturerconcerned.

CleaningIf the conveyor system iscleaned on a regularbasis then wear will beconsiderably reduced.

Steam or soap-based cleaningagents are most commonly used.Standard Plastic chains must onlybe cleaned with liquids possessinga pH value of between 4.5 and 9.0.It should be noted that with bothsteel and plastic chains it is oftenthe cleaning agent which causes themost chemical attack.

Running DryIf lubrication is notdesirable, or it has beendecided for costreasons to reduce or

remove lubrication, Flexon offerscertain plastic materials to cope withthese conditions. LF material willenable dry running on a limitedbasis but New Generation materialwill provide improved performanceunder dry conditions.

However, it should be noted thateven if the conveyor runs dry, cleaning should still occur on a regularbasis. Water with a disinfectant agentgreatly reduces the damaging buildup of oxides and dirt.

Dirt and oxidation are the majorcauses of frictional increases,therefore the key to running aconveyor at its most efficient andwith less down time is to keep thefriction coefficient factors as lowas possible.However, the search for the lowestfriction coefficient is often a tradeoff for a materials resistance towear. A satisfactory medium isalways advised.

µFlat Top Chain materialsare capable of performingunder extremely arduousconditions. Obviouslyprime consideration in

chain application is the ambienttemperature faced by the conveyorand its consequent ability to performwithin the materials parameters.

Flat Top materials offer widetemperature ranges as given in thistable and these materials will covermost conveyor applications.
