Each application has unique challenges.Flexon-System Plast gives you the options you need to make the right choice. Our stainless steel chains come in many grades and surface finishes. Thermoplastic material choices, outlined in the chart below, offer solutions for every conveying need. The New Generation-NG chain has become a star performer in the beverage industry due to its lower wear rate, lower friction, and lower noise levels. Flexon-System Plast will continue to offer con-veyor chain material and design innovations.
Higher conveying speedsTypically beverage filling has higher conveying speeds. Higher speeds require specialized materials.

From the FieldDuring a visit to a prominent brewery, the line manager mentioned a problem with pin wear on his conveyor chain. The Flexon-System Plast representative offered our 815 Speed-Line series with hardened pins as a possible solution. After some testing, both the line manager and line technicians decided to completely replace the chain they were using with Flexon-System Plast product. The technicians are “very happy with the performance of the chains” stated the line manager. The Flexon-System Plast representative followed up regularly to check chain wear and elongation.
