Molytech Plastic Top Chain is designed for conveying needs in industries such as food, beverage, baking, fruits and vegetables, canned goods, and pharmaceuticals. It features a flat surface, quiet operation, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for straight and side-bend conveying applications. With our own molds and manufacturing capabilities, we provide dimensionally compatible chain solutions, accurately selected, and deliverable under control for new production lines and retrofit projects.

Applicable Industries

• Beverage and Beer: High-speed conveying and accumulation of PET/glass bottles and cans
• Food and Baking: Flat conveying and smooth turning of packaging boxes, trays, cookies, and candy boxes
• Fruits and Vegetables Processing: Conveying in sorting, picking, and packing stages after washing
• Canned Goods and Metal Components: Wear-resistant and low-noise handling
• Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic: Clean conveying of small bottles, blister packs, and paper boxes

Product Advantages

• Smooth Conveying: Flat top dense structure, reducing product shaking and abrasion
• Low Noise and Low Friction: Self-lubricating materials, supporting dry running, reducing energy consumption and maintenance frequency
• Hygienic and Easy to Clean: Chemically resistant, suitable for CIP environments, minimizing residue buildup
• Reliable Structure: Stable link strength, good dimensional consistency, suitable for long-term continuous operation
• Side Bend Capability: Structures such as TAB and bevel teeth allow for small-radius turns
• Strong Compatibility: Compatible with commonly used industry size series, easy to replace and expand production
• Customizable: Material, color, friction coefficient, pin material, width, and brand logo can be customized as needed

Common Specifications and Series (Examples)

• Straight Series: 820, 821 (Common pitch 38.1 mm), common chain widths 3.25", 4.5", 6", 7.5", 10", 12"
• Side Bend Series: 880TAB, 882TAB (Common pitch 25.4 mm), multiple minimum turning radius options available
• Surface Types: Flat smooth, low back pressure roller/ball (LBP), high friction coating, open groove/punched options
• Pin Options: Stainless steel (304/316), engineering plastic (corrosion-resistant, low-noise)

Note: The above are common series; more sizes and structures can be selected or customized based on project requirements.

Material and Performance Options

• Chain Plate Material: POM (Polyoxymethylene, general wear-resistant), PP (Chemically resistant, lightweight), PE series (Friendly to low temperatures)
• Friction Coefficient: Low friction model (Suitable for high-speed accumulation), high friction/covered rubber model (Suitable for incline conveying and positioning)
• Functional Models: Anti-static/electrostatic discharge, metal/beam detectable, flame retardant, anti-staining, blue food visibility
• Temperature and Chemistry: Operates from low temperature cold storage to medium-high temperature cleaning areas; resistant to common alkaline cleaning agents and disinfectants
• Food Compliance: Provides food-grade materials and contact declarations (such as FDA/EU 10/2011) as needed

Installation and Maintenance Recommendations

• Maintain sprocket collars and guide rails straight, and reserve side clearance and thermal expansion/contraction space as per specifications
• Choose appropriate guide rail material and chain pressing method (for dry running, recommend low friction formula and high-quality wear-resistant strips)
• Regular cleaning of chain surface and guide rails, checking chain pins and joint wear, and replacing in segments
• For accumulation applications, recommend using LBP low back pressure chains to reduce stacking pressure and energy consumption

Quality and Delivery

• Own molds and injection/machining, process quality control and batch traceability, high consistency for repeat orders
• Engineer technical screening and sample verification, supporting OEM/ODM and small batch urgent delivery
• Rich export experience, providing multilingual communication, compliance documents, and stable logistics
