Engineering excellence49 Conveyor Chain Installation & MAINTENANCESECTION 350engineering Chain3 IntroductionChain Installation and MaintenanceRenold Chain has, for many years, been a leader and innovatorinvolved in the design and manufacture of standard Conveyor chainand the development of engineered products for such applicationsas escalators, travelators, sterilizers, cement conveyors, leisure ridesand numerous other specialised systems for the mechanical handlingindustry. We have a detailed understanding of the maintenanceneeds on such applications and can now offer the manufacturersand operators of Conveyor systems the benefits of this is one of the most widely used moving mediums in mechanicalhandling systems, being robust and very adaptable, but it is also oneof the most neglected components within such equipment whengeneral or routine Maintenance is carried out.
Where an automatic take-up unit is used, i.e. pneumatic, hydraulic, spring etc., the amount of force exerted on the chain should be limited to prevent unnecessary pre tensioning. An assessment of the take-up force required on a simple two strand slat conveyor can be found using the following formula.
