Glass Conveyor Chain

Glass conveyor silent chains (or inverted tooth chains) are highly durable, heat-resistant alloy steel belts designed to transport fragile glass containers smoothly at high speeds. They offer a flat, non-slip, and temperature-controlled surface that prevents bottle checking.

Key Features and Benefits

• Inverted Tooth Design: Ensures quiet operation, minimizes speed variations, and drastically reduces vibration compared to standard roller chains.
• Temperature Resistance: Handles extreme conditions found in glass annealing lehrs and hot-end handling.
• Airflow Optimization: Chains can be designed with spacing washers or double-stacked links to promote airflow and efficient cooling of the glass products.
• Wear Protection: Many models incorporate specialized wear-resistant pins and links to withstand the abrasive, high-temperature environments of glass manufacturing.

Standard Specifications

• Material: Typically constructed from hardened alloy steel or specialized stainless steel.
• Pitch: Commonly available in 1/2-inch and 1-inch extended pitch configurations.
• Width: Customizable link and pin lengths, typically ranging from 100mm to 300mm (or wider depending on the conveyor system).
