The right accumulation chain for each conveying system

The new b.smart accumulation chain

For logistics and material handling applications, Munich-based chain specialist iwis offers a complete range of accumulation chains. Accumulation chains from iwis feature special low-friction rollers that ensure an extremely efficient operation of the chain and therefore the entire conveying system. The low-friction rollers also allow easy positioning of the transported material at any point along the transport path and remove the need to start and stop the chain, which could influence product orientation and agitate content. They are available in different versions, including versions with offset accumulation rollers for optimised load distribution, maintenance-free MEGAlife accumulation chains with nickel-plated plates and pins for lubricant-free operation, accumulation chains with protection for fingers and small parts for increased machine and personal safety, and side-bow accumulation chains with offset accumulation rollers for conveying systems with extremely small bend radii.

The new b.smart accumulation chain from iwis

A special design with nickel-plated plates and pins and low-friction sintered metal rollers are the main features of the maintenance-fee MEGAlife accumulation chains. These components negate the need for lubrication and help to further reduce maintenance costs while exhibiting excellent wear resistance under extreme running conditions. These chains are widely used in applications where lubrication is either not possible or could cause contamination, for example food or medical products, electronics, glass, ceramics and many other industries.
