The type of chain is the most important factor of an efficient chain conveyor system, which determines performance, load capacity, and life span. Here are some of the most common types of chain chains used in an industrial chain conveyor: Roller Chains - These chains cause the least friction and wear cycle due to the design of rollers, bushings, and chain pins. They are mainly used for heavy-duty materials. Bush Conveyor Chains - Without rollers, bush conveyor chains serve a great purpose for short conveying distances at low rates, with a durable economic chain for lighter loads. Attachment Chains - These types of belts feature attachments or permutations (brackets or plates) that are used for carrying special components and materials handling. They are often used in packaging and assembly horizontal belt units. Double Pitch Chains - These chains are mostly known for their longer links pitch suitability, when lighter loads can be efficiently transported from point A and B over longer distances.
