The Span Tech HO-PLN horizontal offset conveyor with plain chain is ideal for transporting packaged items around a curving layout. The tight knit of the chain lattice provides a smooth base for large or small products and offers the tightest turning radius in the industry. The chain can support products down to 1 inch (25.4mm). If a Gravity Transfer is used, the minimum product size is 4.5" (114.3mm). The transfer is set to a decline angle of approximately 6°.
Span Tech HO-RAS raised chain horizontal offset conveyor with a Finger Transfer can transfer products as small as 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, increasing airflow. Excellent for delicate packaging, small product, and end-to-end transfer applications.
The Span Tech HO-MSG horizontal offset conveyor features 75mm left and right guides molded into the side links. This feature provides positive retention of products during transportation. Use this type of chain where the product you are moving might get tangled in conventional guide rails. Gravity Transfers are not available with this type of chain.
