Low-Friction and Ultra Low-Friction Applications Product can stick to conventional chains, causing damage and costly line breaks. Low-friction and ultra low-friction plastic chains keep product moving efficiently. MW Series has a coefficient of sliding friction 15 to 45 percent less than standard plastic chains without additional lubrication, and UMW—ultra low-friction chains—are 15 to 30 percent less than low friction. Product practically flies downline. Move, accumulate, and finish—fast! MW and UMW are ideal for milk-packing lines, bottling/canning lines, and PET-bottle production facilities.
High Friction
HF chains stabilize product on line, allowing movement up inclines or for non-sliding applications.
Electroconductive Applications
S tatic electricity can create havoc with high-speed lines, causing downtime and damaged product. If static electricity, dust buildup, and sparking are a problem, consider E and SE Series chains. Fabricated from special plastics, these chains discharge static electricity so you can keep lines running at optimum levels. Electroconductive Series E Series chains are designed to discharge static electricity before it becomes a problem. Use E chains in areas where sparks, electrical noise, and dust adhesion can cause problems, including assembly lines for circuit boards, electronics, monitors, and television tubes. Volume resistance: 1 x 10 6 Ω • cm Static Electricity Resistance SE Series chains provide excellent resistance to static electricity. They are ideal for canning, and food conveying, but do not have a high enough resistance to handle circuit boards or electronic components. Volume resistance: 1 x 10 13 Ω • cm
