1873TG-SGS Sideflex Steelbase Chain

Description

The 1873TG-SGS sideflex steelbase chain is an elite hybrid conveyor solution designed for the most challenging vertical lifting, lowering, and incline conveying applications. By integrating a high-tensile 60P steel roller chain base with specialized "TG" (Gripper) friction inserts and "SGS" (Side Guard) protection plates, this chain provides an unbeatable combination of structural strength and product security. The rubberized grippers ensure a firm, non-slip hold on bottles, cans, and industrial parts, while the integrated side guards prevent product migration and protect items from contacting the conveyor frame during high-speed movement through horizontal and vertical curves.

Manufactured from high-grade carbon steel or stainless steel base chain and premium reinforced engineering thermoplastics with high-friction inserts, Hangzhou Ocean Industry's 1873TG-SGS chains provide maximum pull-out resistance and zero-slip performance. Every chain is produced under ISO9001-certified quality management, ensuring extreme pitch accuracy, long-term gripper durability, and reliable operation in severe-duty industrial production environments.

Key Features

• Advanced TG Gripper Technology: the top plates are embedded with high-friction rubber or soft-plastic grippers that securely hold products of various shapes, enabling steep incline and vertical conveying without slippage or damage

• Integrated SGS Side Guard System: the specialized plate profile includes raised side guards that act as a protective barrier, keeping products centered on the chain and preventing them from rubbing against the conveyor side rails or falling off

• Ultra-High Tensile 60P Steel Base: features a reinforced steel roller chain drive core that supports massive operating tensions, making it ideal for tall vertical elevators and long-distance high-load conveyors where plastic chains would fail

• Precision Side-Flexing & Curve Stability: the unique articulation allows for smooth, vibration-free transitions through horizontal and vertical curves, maintaining a constant grip and perfect alignment even under significant lateral stress

• Hybrid Dual-Material Performance: combines the rigid load-bearing capacity of hardened steel with the impact absorption, chemical resistance, and high-friction grip of specialized engineering thermoplastics

• Soft Handling & Product Protection: the flexible gripper fingers and side guards are designed to provide a gentle but firm hold, protecting delicate labels and preventing surface scratching on glass, plastic, and polished metal containers

• Modular and Customizable Design: plates can be easily snapped onto the steel base for rapid maintenance, with options for different gripper hardness levels, guard heights, and material grades to match your specific production environment

Application Range

• Beverage and Bottling — vertical elevators and high-speed lowerators for glass bottles, large jugs, and heavy plastic crates

• Canning Industry — secure inclined conveying of aluminum and steel cans through multi-level rinsing, filling, and packaging stages

• Pharmaceutical Production — gentle vertical transfer and side-protected routing for fragile medicine bottles and sterile containers

• Household Chemicals — vertical transport for large-format detergent bottles and uniquely shaped plastic containers in tight layouts

• Automotive & Heavy Parts — inclined transfer of heavy components, fasteners, and sub-assemblies requiring high-friction securement

• Logistics & Sorting — vertical routing and steep elevation changes for parcel sorting where product containment is critical

• Rinsing & Sterilization Systems — inverted product handling for cleaning processes where products must be gripped and shielded from the frame

• General Heavy-Duty Incline — any industrial application requiring the strength of steel combined with high-friction grip and side protection
