Conveyor chain, like transmission roller chain, can be manufactured to a variety of international standards. The primary standards available are:
Conveyor Chain British Standard (BS)
This standard covers chain produced to suit the British market and markets in which a strong British presence has dominated engineering design and purchasing. The standard is based on the initial Ever-power Conveyor Chain design.
ISO Standard Chain
Chain produced to ISO Standard is not interchangeable with BS or DIN Standard Chain. This standard has a wide acceptance in the European marketplace, except in Germany. Chain produced to this regular is now more popular and so are used extensively in the Scandinavian area.
Ever-power has intensive experience in the manufacture of conveyor chain. The Ever-power specification of conveyor chain offers taken a long time in design and advancement to attain the optimum product.
To be able to ensure that is translated into product performance, we strictly control:

Ever-power Ultimate Reliability
The key to Ever-power chain reliability is consistency in design and manufacture.
Maximum chain power and resistance to wear are achieved by strict control of the materials specification and through the use of state of the artwork heat treatment processes.
The constant overall tolerances of Ever-power chain make it perfect for conveying systems requiring precise alignment on multi-strand chain layouts.
Breaking loads go beyond the minimum international standards.
Appropriate chain selection is vital for the best performance. Ever-power’s experienced style team are always available to freely advise on particular products and applications.
Standard and Deep Hyperlink conveyor chain is available to BS4116 Component 4 and also ISO 1977, with both Hollow and Solid Bearing Pins.
Extra Strength Standard Conveyor Chain
To check our standard selection of British Standard Conveyor Chain, this extra power chain is more ideal for conveyor applications chosen on ultimate tensile power (breaking load). Each chain may be the same dimensionally as its normal counterpart, for example an extra strength 24000 lbs chain has basically the same dimensions as a normal 12000 pounds series chain. This chain can be used extensively in the conveying of animal feed and bulk food stuffs such as grain, maize, wheat and raw food mixtures.
Many of these applications make use of scraper type conveyor systems that normally have long centre distances between sprockets. Such systems are sometimes slow moving with little if any shock loading. Get in touch with our technical sales staff for selection and applicational details.
