Description
1873T Steel Base Turning Chain
The 1873T Steel Base Turning Chain is engineered for conveyor systems that require reliable curved conveying under heavy-duty operating conditions. Its steel roller chain base provides outstanding tensile strength and dimensional stability, while the plastic top plates offer smooth product transportation and reduced friction.
Designed for horizontal turning applications, the chain enables products to travel efficiently through curved conveyor layouts while maintaining stable positioning. Compared with conventional plastic conveyor chains, the steel base construction delivers greater mechanical strength, making it suitable for longer conveyor lines and higher working loads.
Manufactured from premium engineering plastics combined with a high-strength steel base chain, the 1873T chain offers excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Individual chain sections can be replaced quickly, reducing maintenance costs and minimizing production downtime. The chain is available in multiple widths and can be supplied with food-grade top plates for hygienic production environments. Standard steel-base versions support high working loads, while stainless-steel base chains are available for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
