Product frequently has to be transported through a high-temperature atmosphere for curing or tempering. The moving element that accomplishes this task with the best economy is chain. Union® Roller Conveyor Chains and Bar and Pin Chains are used extensively in this application. Pay special attention to the material properties and bearing pressures to select the right chain for your application. If you have any questions, contact Union® Engineering. The Union® Chain Division of U.S. Tsubaki Inc., can provide chains for high temperature ovens that outlast the original equipment.
Forming Chains
Forming Chains are usually Roller Conveyor Chains in tandem, top and bottom, which transfer a continuous line of product. The two conveyors sandwich formed product between them, holding it in place and moving it through a curing oven. Product thickness is accommodated by elevation set points on the top conveyor, which can be positioned up or down. Forming Chains are usually furnished with A-2 attachments with special attention to maintaining uniform attachment height.
Metal Process Oven Chains
Materials frequently need to be tempered or annealed in high temperature ovens. We offer a variety of chains that operate in these conditions—from Bar and Pin to Roller Conveyor with attachments. Chain materials are usually chosen based on the operating conditions, including the maximum temperature and the loads. Stainless Steel Conveyor Chains, for example, provide long service life and heat resistance. Consult Union® Engineering to discuss your operation. We’ll help you select the right chain for your application.
