THE FULLY AUTOMATIC CHAIN TENSIONING SAVES YOU TIME AND MONEY
PROVEN QUALITY:
With previous systems, the condition of the chain tensioning system is checked visually. This exposes some of the machine components to possible contamination or damage. Moreover, the manual tensioning
of the conveyor chain is relatively complicated and time consuming. The conveyor unit has to be shut down for a certain amount of time for monthly maintenance, so tensioning the conveyor chain incurs regular costs.
IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY:
The upgrade optimises the operation of the chain tensioning system. Now the chain is tensioned by a hydraulically actuated cylinder, which has been combined with an integrated power pack to form a tensioner unit. A compact, pre-programmed IP 65 control system can be in- corporated directly into the conveyor. The only external supply required is 230V/50Hz power. Control signals can be exchanged with a higher- order control system via a special output. Monthly maintenance is no longer necessary!
YOUR BENEFITS:
• Protection against chain breakage due to low chain tension
• Protection against wear due to excessive chain tension
• No maintenance requirements for chain tensioning
• Higher availability
• Fast return on investment
• Rapidupgrade (5days) replaces monthly maintenance
• Higher reliability
• Lower operating costs
