Conveyor Chain

Mode of Failure:
Alignment
Application:
134,000 N breaking load chain operating on a slat conveyor with slats bolted across the K attachments.
Failure Mode:
Side plates showed severe rubbing marks along one edge.
Diagnosis:
The side plate edges have been rubbing against some fixed point on the conveyor structure, probably the edge of the guide tracks. The effect of this would be to wear away the side plate and to increase the drive power and chain tension.
Solution
Determine the point of contact and realign the chain to prevent rubbing. It may be necessary to check and adjust the track to ensure levels are correct across the two strands.
