Concept of 01 Flexible Chain Plate Conveyor Line
Flexible chain plate conveyor line is a conveying method composed of aluminum profiles, support legs made of aluminum profiles, high-pressure die cast aluminum drive modules, curved aluminum profiles, and chain plates.

Due to the fact that the conveying beam and supporting legs are all made of aluminum profiles, they are easy to cut quickly, can be long or short, and can be high or low. At the same time, aluminum is easy to bend, making it convenient to directly modify the length and height of the line at the installation site. Aluminum profiles are lightweight and easy to produce the required conveying line path, so they are called flexible chain plate conveying lines.

02 Main Structure and Composition
① Conveyor chain: made of high-strength engineering plastic. The conveyor chain utilizes a carefully designed staggered yielding structure and hinge coordination between two chain links, allowing the conveyor chain to freely turn in both horizontal and vertical directions, thereby achieving spatial turning of the entire conveyor belt.

② Conveyor beam: composed of aluminum alloy profiles or stainless steel materials that have undergone anodizing treatment on the surface, and friction rails.

③ Conveyor frame body: It is also composed of aluminum alloy profiles or stainless steel materials that have undergone surface anodizing treatment.

④ Drive device: composed of aluminum drive heads and tails formed by powder metallurgy process die-casting. It is divided into single drive, dual drive, and intermediate drive.

⑤ Guiding device: Two side guardrails that can keep the material running in the middle position of the chain plate at all times.

⑥ Turning device: an internal support device for the chain plate during turning. It is divided into horizontal elbows, vertical elbows, horizontal wheel elbows, and horizontal wheels.

Characteristics of 03 Flexible Conveyor Line
Feature 1: Agile, lightweight, and aesthetically pleasing

Feature 2: Standardized structure, fast installation, and stable system

Feature 3: Modular design, modular design, establishing the functional requirements of the customer's production line in the shortest possible time, reusable conveying equipment

Feature 4: Compact, quiet, pollution-free, often used in conjunction with production lines with high hygiene requirements, small site area, cleanliness, and high degree of automation

Feature 5: Can be large or small, flexible in expansion and contraction, easy to operate, can be made into various conveying methods such as pallet, push, hang, and clamp, forming various functions such as aggregate, diversion, inspection, and merging

Feature 6: Small turning radius, strong climbing ability, widely used in production scenarios that require various assembly forms

Advantages and Applications of 04 Flexible Conveyor Lines
The flexible chain board conveyor line has a flexible layout, saves space, and has a wide variety of specifications. It can be selected according to the requirements of the conveyed materials and processes, and can meet the different needs of various industries

The conveying surface is flat and smooth, with low friction, smooth material transition, low maintenance, and low operating costs. Therefore, it can convey various types of materials such as glass bottles, PET bottles, cans, as well as various types of bags and suitcases;

→ It can be directly rinsed with water or soaked in water, and meets the hygiene requirements of food production. It is clean and pollution-free, and can meet the hygiene requirements of the food and beverage industry;

Therefore, flexible chain conveyor lines are widely used in industries such as food, beverage, toilet paper transportation, cosmetics, tobacco manufacturing, motor manufacturing, and mechanical parts.
