Conveyor chain, like transmitting roller chain, can be manufactured to a variety of international standards. The main standards available are:
British Standard (BS)
This standard covers chain produced to suit the British market and markets where a strong British presence has dominated engineering design and purchasing. The standard is centered on the initial Ever-power Conveyor Chain design.
ISO Standard Chain
Chain manufactured to ISO Standard is not interchangeable with BS or DIN Standard Chain. This standard includes a wide acceptance in the European marketplace, except in Germany. Chain manufactured to this standard is now more popular and are used extensively in the Scandinavian area.
Ever-power has considerable experience in the produce of conveyor chain. The Ever-power specification of conveyor chain provides 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 main element to Ever-power chain reliability is consistency in design and manufacture.
Maximum chain strength and level of resistance to wear are attained by strict control of the material specification and through the use of state of the artwork heat treatment processes.
The constant overall tolerances of Ever-power chain make it ideal for conveying systems requiring precise alignment on multi-strand chain layouts.
Breaking loads go beyond the minimum international standards.
Right chain selection is essential for the best possible performance. Ever-power’s experienced design team are always open to freely suggest on particular products and applications.
Standard and Deep Link conveyor chain is open to BS4116 Component 4 along with ISO 1977, with both Hollow and Solid Bearing Pins.
Extra Strength Standard Conveyor Chain
To check our standard range of British Standard Conveyor Chain, this extra strength chain is more ideal for conveyor applications selected on ultimate tensile power (breaking load). Each chain is the same dimensionally as its regular counterpart, for example a supplementary strength 24000 lbs chain has simply the same measurements as a standard 12000 lbs series chain. This chain is used extensively in the conveying of pet feed and bulk food stuffs such as grain, maize, wheat and raw food mixtures.
Many of these applications use scraper type conveyor systems that as a rule have long centre distances between sprockets. Such systems are sometimes sluggish moving with little or no shock loading. Get in touch with our technical sales staff for selection and applicational information.
