Conveyor Chain - Tsubaki

Double Plus Free FlowChainTsubakiʼs unique Standard and Large Size Double Plus free flow conveyor chain conveys objects 2.3 times (Large Size Double PlusChain) to 2.5 times (Standard Double Plus Chain) faster than the actual chain speed. As a result, motor speeds up to 60% slower canbe used, leading to improved reliability and substantial reductions in energy costs and chain noise (by up to 15dB compared tooutboard plastic roller chains). Double Plus Chains employ a unique design which incorporates a large center roller, and a smallerouter roller, which supports the chain on a guide rail. When engaged, the large center roller (upon which the conveyed objects travel)rotate at the same rpm as the small rollers. However, since the diameter of the large roller is larger than the smaller roller, conveyedobjects move along faster than the chain. The benefits of the unique design are that the chain speeds up to 60% slower can be usedwithout effecting the object conveying speed. Motor drive speeds can be reduced which will lead to substantial power savings and toreduced noise levels some 15dB lower than those of plastic side roller chains. Added to these advantages are the excellent start-upand accelerations facilities provided by the large roller/small roller combination and the fact that Double Plus is safer than outboardroller chains because the chain runs in a guide rail.SectionBFrom the combination of various components thedesign of a Free Flow Conveyor is simple.Tsubaki of Canada Limited, 1630 Drew Road, Mississauga, ON L5S 1J6 Tel: 905-676-0400 Fax: 905-676-0904 Toll-Free: 800-263-7088 www.tsubaki.ca e-mail: info@tsubaki.caConveyor Chain B105
