Hot Dip Coating Line
Transmission chain for accumulators used on
steel works processing lines.
Accumulator Chain
When coils of thin steel plate have been
produced it is sometimes required to be
coated - painted, galvanised or plastic coated.
Obviously, the coating process, whichever type
it is, necessitates numerous operations and
tight control - especially the speed at which
the steel passes through the process area. It is,
therefore, necessary that the steel plate being
coated passes through the process section at
a constant speed and is continuous and
uninterrupted.
Renold Transmission Chain Catalogue I 91
For this reason it is necessary to accumulate
the steel plate before the process area to allow
time, say 2 to 3 minutes, so that when the end
of the coil is reached a new coil can be positioned
and the beginning of the new one welded to
the end of the previous one.
