Chainweave Conveyor Belts for positive drive conveying

Positive Drive Conveyor Belting

Mesh with Chain attached to each edge of conveyor belt.

Chain Weave belts assure positive, true forward movement under the most difficult conditions. Rugged and durable Conveyor Belts. They are used in heat treating, metalworking, food processing, snack food, ceramics and various other applications. They are efficient in any conveying application where the advantages to positive drive contribute to a more effecient operation. Conveyor belt tracking and conveyor belt aligntment are simplified with this belt style. The conveying application range is greatly increased by using an Audubon Chainweave Conveyor Belt.

Under moderate temperatures chain drives are very desireable and actually do the driving, the belt itself being used as a conveying medium only. For high temperature work where chain drive is desirable the belt is constructed with a chain of special heat resistant alloy. Practically any link chain or roller chain may be used.

Standard or Extended Pitch Roller Chain Conveyor belts are used primarily for handling light and medium loads. Among typical uses for these positive drive conveyor belts are removal of heat treated parts from quench baths, washing and drying applications and the handling of products in the food processing industry. Listed below are the Roller Chains available for Audubon's Roller Chain Series of Chainweave conveyor Belts.

The Engineering Series Roller Chain conveyor belt is similar to the extended pitch roller chain but is of heavier construction and greater strength. It has greater clearances then precision roller chain and is specifically engineered for use in applications or environments where dirt accumulation or inadequate lubrication may occur. It is typically used in handling heavy loads in washing and drying, for quench bath operations, for handling heavy stampings and forgings and similar work.

The Pintle Chainweave conveyor belt is used in applications involving product conveyance at moderate speeds in a wide range of process equipments. It is adaptable to operation at elevated temperatures with miniumum maintenance and for use where dirt or insufficient lubrication may cause problems with other types of chain. Typical applications for light duty pintle chain include conveying paper ,food products, and light metal parts. Heavy pintle chain is used in continuous draw furnaces and for conveying heavy product loads.

Audubon Chainweave belts are constructed by attaching any of the chain listed below (From our Roller Series, Engineering Roller Series or Pintle Series) to the sides of any Audubon metal mesh Conveyor Belt.

Bars, angles, channels, rods, pipe or tubing may be passed through or attached to the spiral and fixed to the chain by means of chain accessories or by acting as pins of the chain.

Edges, Dividers and Flights may also be added.

Audubon Chainweave belts are manufactured in house to exacting standards, perfected by over 100 years of experience in manufacturing Audubon Chainweave Conveyor Belts. Audubon engineers can assist in establishing specifications and can recommend a chain conveyor belt best suited for your specific application.

Above roller chains can be combined with any Audubon metal wire mesh to create an Audubon Chain Weave Conveyor Belt. Standard construction on the roller series has Audubon Mesh, with a rod inserted through the mesh and the eye of the chain. If a cordweave mesh (which is a very tightly woven mesh is used) then attachments are put on the chain, and bars are connected to the chain underneath the mesh, rather than a rod through the mesh.

The Engineering series roller chains to the right can be combined with any Audubon wire mesh to create an Audubon Chainweave Conveyor Belt. Standard construction on the engineering roller series uses Audubon Mesh, with a rod inserted through the mesh and the eye of the chain. If a cordweave mesh (which is a very tightly woven mesh) is used, then attachments are put on the chain, and bars are connected to the chain underneath the mesh, rather than a rod through the mesh construction.

Any of the above Pintle Chains can be combined with any Audubon wire mesh to create an Audubon Pintle Chainweave Conveyor Belt. Attachments are used quite often in the Pintle Chainweave Series Conveyor Belt.
