Tsubaki, the world leader in chain manufacturing, is proud to introduce our newest innovation in plastic top chains: the Tsubaki BTB8 Beltop® Chain with Ball-Transfer System and the Tsubaki O-Carry Conveyor.
When operated in combination with the Tsubaki O-Carry Conveyor underneath the main chain, the Tsubaki BTB8 Beltop® Chain with its Ball-Transfer System makes possible a diverse range of handling functions other than just simple conveyance.
Lateral Transfer:
Lateral transfers (left to right sorting) of conveyed goods. Since no push-off or other devices are necessary, this approach works to prevent jamming, and allows for compact, space saving layouts.
Double Speed Conveyance:
The rotation of the balls effectively doubles speed of conveyed items. Also, low running resistance allows the required motor power to be reduced.
Rotation:
Rotate conveyed goods, both while the chain is stopped (360º) and in motion (90º/180º). Handling is smooth and safe because goods are handled on the same surface as they are conveyed.
Other benefits include an all-plastic construction, making them light weight and easy to handle, energy-efficient conveyance from the freely rotating balls reducing roller resistance, easy maintenance through simple construction, and a wide, belt-like conveying surface (maximum of 3 meters in width).
