Welded conveyor chains

FB is the leading manufacturer of welded bush conveyor chains. High-quality FB plate link chains with welded pins and bushes are now manufactured on six production lines. The optimum selection of materials combined with fully automated production processes guarantees consistent quality at the highest level.

The results speak for themselves:

  • 30% increase in breaking force
  • Significant increase in operational safety
  • New standards in terms of safety and cost-effectiveness

Scraper chain with attachments

Alternatively, we can supply you with ready-to-install chains, with carriers or brackets, plastic attachments or spacers. With our CNC-controlled robot welding lines, we produce dimensionally accurate welds for the highest loads.

A plate link chain with attachments can be found in numerous applications, e.g. in the following sectors:

  • Wood industry
  • recycling
  • Bulk material conveyors
  • power stations
  • Food industry and many more.

Structure of the FB conveyor chain

In standard, the conveyor chain, generally also referred to as a plate link chain, basically consists of the individual components pin, bush and plates. Rollers are often also installed, which can be designed as a protective roller (type B), track roller (type C), flanged roller (type D) or as an off-centre roller (type E) in the case of asymmetrically link plate chains. If no roller is assembled, this corresponds to type A. There are DIN versions according to DIN8165, DIN8167 and SMS1698 for the dimensions. In addition, there are also numerous special designs with different dimensions, which we at FB are happy to manufacture according to your specifications!
