MonoSpan Plastic Chain

MonoSpan® is the perfect narrow track plastic chain system, available in a fixed 95.5mm (3.76") width. It is the right choice for a wide variety of products that fit the human hand, and is used extensively in packaging and product handling applications involving small parts. MonoSpan® plastic chain has a 51% open design, allowing the chain to be easily washed down while on the conveyor.

Stain resistance and durability are standard features of the entire Designer System® family of plastic chain conveyors, due to the use of standard chain links made from white Acetal plastic.

MonoSpan® plastic chain has a pitch of 25mm (0.98") and a width of 95.5mm (3.76"). Its minimum centerline turning radius is 457.2mm (18") for aluminum framing and 533.4mm (21") for stainless steel framing.

Application flexibility is the key to the Designer System® line, offering the ability to incorporate multiple curves and elevation changes in one continuous plastic chain conveyor. With its all-plastic assembly, MonoSpan® chain is also ideal for running through metal detectors.

MonoSpan® plastic chain is available in materials resistant to most chemicals and constant temperatures ranging from -40°C (-40°F) to 104.4°C (220°F). As a rule of thumb, MonoSpan® plain chain has a weight of 0.6 lbs. per linear foot, and a load carrying capacity of 15 lbs. per linear foot.

MultiSpan Plastic Chain

MultiSpan® plastic chain is the strongest and most versatile among the Designer System® family of conveyors. It comes in a variety of configurations to accommodate almost any product handling application in the industry.

MultiSpan® plastic chain offers exceptional accumulation capabilities due to its edgeless design. This means lower back pressure during accumulation, reducing the likelihood of product damage.

Small parts transport well on MultiSpan® plastic chain because of its 25mm (0.98") pitch and compact profile, but its 42% open design still allows for the natural flow-through of liquids and debris.

The unique flexibility of the chain means that combining horizontal curves and elevation changes is no problem for the Designer System® family of conveyors.

MultiSpan® plastic chain has a pitch of 25mm (0.98") and is available in widths ranging from 125.5mm (4.94") to 1219mm (48") and beyond, in 30mm (1.18") increments.

MultiSpan® plastic chain is available in materials resistant to most chemicals and constant temperatures ranging from -40°C (-40°F) to 104.4°C (220°F).

SuperTight Plastic Chain

SuperTight plastic chain is a variation of SpanTech's proven MultiSpan® plastic conveyor chain. SuperTight is lighter in weight than MultiSpan® yet is just as strong, and offers the tightest turning radius in the Designer System® conveyor line.

Initially developed for use with SpanTech's spiral conveyors, SuperTight works equally well for standard applications, and is ideal when a smaller horizontal turning radius is needed. In many cases SuperTight plastic chain can also be the most economical choice, especially when dealing with chain widths greater than 275.6mm (10.85").

SuperTight plastic chain has a pitch of 25mm (0.98") and is available in widths ranging from 95.5mm (3.76") to 1175.5mm (46.28") and beyond.

SuperTight plastic chain is available in materials resistant to most chemicals and constant temperatures ranging from -40°C (-40°F) to 104.4°C (220°F).

MaxiSpan Plastic Chain

Providing a 75% open design, MaxiSpan® plastic chain offers excellent product cooling capabilities. Liquids and debris are able to fall through, generating increased production by minimizing downtime for conveyor cleaning. The open design also means less material is used, resulting in cost savings.

A major advantage of the Designer System® product line is the ability to combine horizontal curves, inclines, declines, and straight sections in one continuous plastic chain conveyor, often eliminating transfers. Service and maintenance is simple because the plastic chain can be easily opened in a matter of seconds at any point along the conveyor.

The all-plastic construction of MaxiSpan® chain makes it perfect for running through metal detectors.

MaxiSpan® plastic chain has a pitch of 50mm (1.97") and is available in widths ranging from 209.3mm (8.24") to 1219mm (48") and beyond, in 100mm (3.94") increments. As a rule of thumb, MaxiSpan® plain chain has a weight of 1.3 lbs. per square foot, and a load carrying capacity of 25 lbs. per square foot.

MaxiSpan® plastic chain is available in materials resistant to most chemicals and constant temperatures ranging from -40°C (-40°F) to 104.4°C (220°F).

Closed Top Plastic Chain

The open designs of SpanTech's MonoSpan®, MultiSpan®, and MaxiSpan® plastic chain types have many advantages in the areas of product cooling and cleanliness, and the fact that less material is used makes them lightweight and economical. But sometimes you need a conveyor chain with a smooth, closed carrying surface, and that's when SpanTech's Closed Top plastic chain can be the ideal choice.
