Product Description
Chain Link features a simplistic design, where successive spiral coils are interwoven to create an open mesh. Chain Link can be supplied with the edges either knuckled or welded.
By keeping the belt design simple yet functional, KDL's Chain Link offers end-users an economic and lightweight solution for low load conveying applications. The large open area inherent in Chain Link's design also makes it a popular choice for drying and cooling application where belt flow-through is of paramount importance.
Chain Link can be supplied with alternating left and right facing panels to counteract any tracking issues caused by the coil pattern. It is also available as Rod Reinforced Chain Link, where cross-rods are inserted across the belt width to increase the overall load capacity. Chain Link is commonly supplied in Grade 304 Stainless Steel, although other steel grades are available on request.
Standard Chain Link (CL)
The assembly consists of unidirectional coils with each coil interconnecting with the next. When used as a friction driven belt the assembly may feature alternating sections of left then right hand assembled panels. Each belt panel is linked to the next opposite hand weave panel with a through wire - see below. Panelling of the belt with left & right hand coil sections help alleviate belt track off on all circuit rollers and belt supports. Many friction driven belts however are not panelled in this way and rely on their weight and the conveyor tracking system to ensure straight running of the belt. Click here for data enquiry sheet
Rod Reinforced Chain Link (CLR)
Panelled Belting: Left and right assembly of panelled coils are linked together by a through connector pin. The alternating handing of the panelled coils balances the weave contact with the friction driven roller or idle rollers to ensure best tracking performance of the belt. Check to see if your belt is panelled in this way prior to placing an order.
Rod Reinforced Chain Link (CLR)
To add strength and lateral stability to the belt the intermeshing coils are linked with a through wire. This through wire is finished at the edges in a variety of styles including welded, laddered, knuckled and welded and compressed and welded. When enquiring please forward either a picture or diagram of the belt edge. The same panelling assembly as described above may be required when used solely as a friction driven belt.

NB. Please contact technical sales if you have a specification requirement other than those listed above.
Before making a selection for high temperature applications consult with our Technical Sales Engineers for the most suitable wire grade for the application as wire strength reduces at elevated temperatures.
