The Span Tech CV-PLN curving conveyor with plain chain is ideal for transporting items around curves. The chain can support objects down to 1 inch (25.4mm) in diameter if no transfer is used. With a Gravity Transfer, the smallest product is 4.5 inches (114.3mm) in diameter. The transfer is set to a decline angle of approximately 6°. The tight knit of the chain lattice provides a smooth base for small products and offers the tightest turning radius in the industry.
The Span Tech CV-RAS curving conveyor with raised chain is typically used with finger transfers when conveyors are end to end and transfer of product is necessary. Raised chain with a Finger Transfer can transfer product down to 1.5 inches (38.1mm) in diameter. The transfer is set to a decline angle of approximately 10°. Raised top chain can also be used to reduce the amount of contact between the chain and the product being transported, increasing airflow.
The Span Tech CV-MSG curving conveyor with moving side guide chain features 75mm left and right guides molded into the side links. This feature provides positive retention of products during transportation through the curve. Use this type of chain where the product you are moving might get tangled in conventional guide rails. Gravity or Finger Transfers are not available with this type of conveyor chain.
