Chain Conveyors

CCL designs and manufactures bespoke chain conveyor systems for pallet handling, production and heavy-duty material transport. A sprocket-driven chain provides a positive drive; the carrying surface and support arrangement are selected for the load and process.

​

Pallet conveyors: two- or three-strand chains can support suitable pallet runners. Strand positions, loaded weight, pallet dimensions and underside condition determine the design. Chain conveyors can work with powered rollers, turntables and cross-transfers as part of a complete handling system.

​

Specialist carrying surfaces: chain attachments may support slats, plates or a belt where the application requires them. We assess product contact, impact loading, contamination and maintenance access before proposing the arrangement.

​

Specification: conveyor length and width, working height, speed, full-load starting, duty cycle and maximum load are agreed for each project. Chain size, sprockets, wear strips, bearings and motor power are selected together. Temperature, moisture and chemical exposure require application-specific material selection.

​

Controls and maintenance: product detection, stopping and sequencing can be coordinated through PLC controls. Guarding, tension adjustment, lubrication and access for inspection are planned into the design, with maintenance and spare-parts information at handover.

​Send your product or pallet dimensions, maximum weight, required movements per hour and site layout. Our Loughborough team can develop the conveyor, controls and installation scope around your operation.
