REXNORD - MARBETT - MCC
Plastic TableTop
Chains
From standard low friction to specialized high-tech materials for very specific applications, the Rexnord plastic TableTop range
is capable of delivering a wide range of solutions for conveyor applications for virtually any industry.
Features
High strength materials
For dry running and lubricated beverage applications and also for abrasive applications in glass works, special materials are available, offering high PV resistance or very
low friction.
Sliding properties
To ensure superior sliding properties, Rexnord uses a number of chain materials. In many cases these materials are especiall
y defined for conveyor applications. All dif-
ferent materials have friction coefficients tailored to the intended application.
Flatness
The design of the mould and the control of the production process take care of flatness values meeting the highest standards. Together with the optimum sliding
properties, this will prevent tipping of the products conveyed.
Standardization
In case handling a number of different chains are used. Standard chains (XL, LF, HP) are used for general conveying of cases, trays or crates. High friction versions
(Rubber Top, SuperGrip) are used for inclines and declines or on stopper belts. Version with rollers (LBP) are used in lines feeding palletizers in order to reduce the
backline pressure and noise. The wide product range allows standardization of case handling conveyors, as a result of the same sprockets, track width, return rollers,
return design, wearstrips and hinge width, also in co-operation with stainless steel (60 M 75 and 60 S 75). If plastic modular belts are used for straight running, side-
flexing chainbelts are ideal for conveyors with 85 mm pitch; FGM 1050, FT 1050 and FTM 1060 match with 1000- and 8500-series, FTM 1055 and FT 1055 with 1005-
and 7700-series. These chains feature a maximum support area and excellent transfers, even in small radii. For demanding applications FGM/FTM Magnetflex versions
are recommended, whilst the FT tab versions are intended for less critical circumstances.
84 mm wide chains
Rexnord offers a complete range of both plastic and steel chains with 84 mm width, intended for the global beverage standard 85 mm pitch between the lanes of
multi-lane conveyors. In plastic chains the straight running SHP84 and the sideflexing RHMP84 are companions, running on the same sprockets. The gap between the
different tracks/lanes is minimized compared to the traditional 3.25” chains as well as the gap between the links of the chains, to offer superior product handling and
minimize the risks of products falling.
D-pins
SHP, RHMP, 1060, 1055, 879, 880 and 882 chains have D-style pins. Once assembled, the pin retention is done by means of geometrical fit instead of mechanical
tension on the hinge eyes. This makes the chain less sensitive for attack by chemicals; it also allows (dis)assembly from both sides of the chains, reducing the chance
of error.
