Accumulator chains AFS for optimal equipment and finger protection

Accumulator chains have a so-called conveyor roller at every other pitch. This enlarged roller is required for the transport of the material to be conveyed. It ensures the smooth running of the chain under the goods during accumulation without damaging them.

The chain link joint between the conveyor rollers constitutes a more significant gap into which small parts such as screws, washers, and chips, as well as other particulate material, might enter and then damage the chain or the entire system. Depending on the respective application area, there is also the danger of somebody's fingers reaching into these gaps when working on transport and assembly lines, which might cause injuries.

Due to the flat design of the ASF clip, the gaps between conveyor rollers are entirely closed. The two-piece clip is mounted onto the chain bushing of the inner link and, owing to its innovative hinge system also covers the danger zone in the deflection range of the chain. Therefore both-way deflections, e.g., for omega drives, are still possible.

Thus, the accumulator chain with an AFS clip ensures a trouble-free operation of conveyance and assembly systems and contributes considerably to operational safety according to valid machinery directives.

Depending on the required application, conveyor rollers with different diameters and materials (steel, PA 6.6, PA 12 antistatic) can be supplied.
