Chain Plate / Plate Link Belt

A conveyor system of steel plates carried on rods and chains. Because plate pitch and chain pitch are two different numbers, we confirm both — with the sprocket — on your drawing before production.

YOUR CONCERNS

Your concerns, and how we handle them

“Plate pitch and chain pitch get mixed up.”

Both are confirmed separately on your drawing before production.

“The chain doesn't fit my sprockets.”

Chain and sprocket matching are part of the engineering check and the final assembly check.

“Plates loosen or welds fail.”

Connection quality and welding are inspection points before packing.

“The perforation pattern isn't right.”

Hole diameter, shape, spacing and pattern are set per project on the drawing.

FAQ

What questions do you have for us?

Q01

What is a chain plate belt?

A conveyor belt made of steel plates mounted on rods and carried by side chains, also called a plate link belt.

Q02

Are plate pitch and chain pitch the same?

No. Plate pitch (25.4–63.5 mm) and chain pitch (25.4–76.2 mm) are separate values, and both are confirmed on the drawing.

Q03

Can the plates be perforated?

Yes. Plates can be solid or perforated; hole diameter, shape, spacing and pattern are set per project.

Q04

What widths can you make?

From 300 to 4000 mm, or to your drawing.

Q05

How are the plates retained?

With welded washers or cotter pins.

Q06
