ROUND-LINK CHAIN PARTICULARLY SINGLE CONTINUOUS CHAIN FOR SCRAPER-CHAIN CONVEYOR

摘要

A round link chain having vertical links with a smaller pitch than the horizontal links. The combined pitch of each vertical link and horizontal link in the configuration of a size 42 round link chain corresponds to the combined pitch of two chain links of a size 38 round link chain, so that in consideration of the stout vertical links, it is possible to use a size 42 round link chain in place of a size 38 round link chain in conventional chain scraper conveyors with limited height of passage for the carrying run and the slack run, and this without altering the pitch diameter of the chain sprockets.
