Stainless Steel chain is named due to construction of chain from stainless steel material. Specific application of Roller chain and Conveyor chain has be manufactured from stainless steel material. Stainless steel Chains are corrosion resistant as compared to standard Roller chains and so quite longer life than conventional Roller or Conveyor Chains. These chains are ideal for acidic or alkaline environments, or where the chain will be exposed to water, and for very high or very low temperature locations, where resistance to corrosion is a requirement. Stainless Steel chain should be selected when resistance to chemical reaction is critical. Stainless Steel is manufactured using FDA approved material and is pre-lubricated with a USDA H1 approved lubricant.

These metallic conveyor belts are used in material handling, food processing, dairy, biscuit plants, bakeries and high temperature ovens and furnaces industries. Jaycon Engineering manufactures Laminated Type with Plate as per customer's requirements in stainless steel of grade 304. We also use grades of high carbon steel and galvanized iron like 316, 310 and 314. These are one type of Conveyor Belts with special design and special applications.
These Belts are constructed by flattening the plates and crossed and interlocked. These are always in typical design for application in similar industries and so the design has to be specific for those applications.
Leaf Chains are used for fork lift masts, as balancers between head and counterweight in machine tools, or for low-speed pulling (tension linkage). This type of chain is also called "Balance Chain, " and is regulated by ANSI. In roller chains, all the link plates have higher fatigue resistance due to the compressive stress of press fits. In Leaf Chains, only two outer plates are press fit. Therefore, the tensile strength of Leaf Chains is high, but the maximum allowable tension is low. It is advisable to use safety guards at all times, and be particularly alert to assure the safety factor.
Leaf chains are made especially for applications requiring flexible, high strength tension linkages for reciprocating motion devices. These chains operate over sheaves rather than sprockets and are often found on fork lift trucks, or as counter-weight chains for machine tools or similar balancing applications. These chains are usually supplied cut-to-length and may be supplied with "male" (inside link) or "female" (outside link) ends. Chains to be supplied in an even number of pitches possess one female and one male end. If an odd number of pitches are required please specify whether the ends should be "male" or "female". The type of clevis used will determine the end style required.
There basically two type of series are manufactured named AL Series and BL Series. AL Series Leaf chains are made for light duty applications. It is recommended that when designing for new applications the "BL Series" to be specified as the ANSI organization has discontinued the AL Series. In the future AL series chains will become rare in application. BL Series Leaf chains are made for moderate to heavy duty lifting applications. Pins and link plates of the BL Series are made from one size larger ANSI chain to allow for operation in moderate to heavy load applications.
The range of leaf chain for material handling applications is used worldwide for straddle carriers, fork lift trucks and on major civil engineering works such as flood defense barriers.
Slat chain conveyors are another type of chain conveyor which uses many types of interleaving segments to form a slat type chain of either synthetic polymer or stainless steel construction, in either low friction or friction grip styles. They are used in high wear areas often handling individual packets or cans in can filling or bottling operations. They are also used extensively in food manufacturing applications. Heavy versions of the slat conveyors are often found in freight handling applications where loads and impact are quite high. Traditionally heavy slat conveyors are constructed using hardwood slats fixed onto parallel chains.
Hinge Belt conveyor finds application in stamping/ sheet metal press shops to handle scrap at a moderate capacity. The conveyor frame can be open type made from heavy structural steel sections or closed type made from heavy gauge steel plates. Modular construction of the conveyor makes it possible to add or remove conveyor segments at a later date depending on requirement.
