1873T Sideflex Steelbase Chain

Description

1873T Sideflex Steelbase Chain with Integrated TAB Guides and High-Tensile Roller Base for Complex Curved Conveying Systems

The 1873T sideflex steelbase chain is a high-performance hybrid conveyor solution that combines the extreme tensile strength of a precision steel roller chain with the versatility and product-friendly surface of modular plastic top plates. Engineered for high-load, high-speed applications requiring complex directional changes, the 1873T series features integrated "TAB" guide technology to ensure total stability in horizontal curves. This dual-material construction allows for significantly higher operating tensions compared to all-plastic modular chains, making it the definitive choice for long-distance curved conveyors in heavy bottling, canning, and packaging industries.

Manufactured using a high-grade 60P carbon steel or stainless steel base chain and premium reinforced engineering thermoplastic top plates, Hangzhou Ocean Industry's 1873T chains provide exceptional pull-out resistance and minimal elongation. Every chain is produced under ISO9001-certified quality management, ensuring precise articulation, consistent pitch, and an extended service life in severe-duty industrial environments.

Key Features

• High-Tensile Steel Base Architecture: the chain utilizes a reinforced roller chain base (typically 60P), providing the massive tensile strength required for long conveyor runs and heavy product loads that all-plastic chains cannot support

• Integrated TAB Retention System: precision-molded guide tabs on the underside lock the chain securely into the conveyor track, effectively preventing chain lift-off or tilting during high-speed cornering or under lateral stress

• Snap-On Modular Top Plates: high-performance plastic plates are snapped directly onto the steel base, allowing for easy maintenance and individual plate replacement without dismantling the entire chain system

• Precision Side-Flexing Capability: the specialized articulation between the steel base and plastic plates allows for smooth, vibration-free movement through horizontal curves, ensuring product integrity and stable throughput

• Dual-Material Performance: combines the ultra-low friction and impact resistance of engineering thermoplastics (POM/Nylon) with the rigid structural integrity of hardened steel for the ultimate heavy-duty hybrid solution

• Quiet and Smooth Operation: the precision-ground rollers and optimized plate geometry minimize mechanical noise and surges, even during high-speed operation or frequent start-stop cycles

• Customizable Plate Configurations: available in various widths, materials (anti-static, chemical-resistant, or high-temperature), and surface patterns (flights, grippers, or friction pads) to match specific conveying needs

Application Range

• Beverage and Bottling — high-speed curved routing of glass bottles, aluminum cans, and heavy crates

• Food Processing & Packaging — curved conveying of bulk packaged goods, jars, and heavy cartons

• Pharmaceutical Industry — stable, high-tension transport for large-volume medicine containers and liquid packs

• Automotive Components — curved transfer of small to medium-sized heavy parts, fasteners, and sub-assemblies

• Chemical & Detergent Lines — reliable curved handling of large plastic containers, drums, and heavy bottles

• Logistic Sorting Systems — high-tension curved accumulation and routing for medium-sized parcels and freight

• Canning Industry — high-throughput curved conveying of steel and aluminum cans through washing and filling stations

• General Heavy-Duty Conveying — any industrial line requiring the strength of steel and the flexibility of plastic in curved layouts
