Conveyor chain, like transmission roller chain, could be manufactured to a variety of international standards. The main standards available are:
British Standard (BS)
This standard covers chain produced to suit the British market and markets in which a strong British presence has dominated engineering design and purchasing. The standard is centered on the original Ever-power Conveyor Chain design.
ISO Standard Chain
Chain manufactured to ISO Standard is not interchangeable with BS or DIN Regular Chain. This standard includes a wide acceptance in the European marketplace, except in Germany. Chain produced to this regular is now more popular and so are used extensively in the Scandinavian region.
Ever-power has considerable experience in the produce of conveyor chain. The Ever-power specification of conveyor chain provides taken many years in design and advancement to achieve the optimum product.
To be able to ensure this is translated into product performance, we strictly control:

Ever-power Ultimate Reliability
The main element to Ever-power chain reliability is consistency in design and manufacture.
Maximum chain power and resistance to wear are achieved by strict control of the material specification and through the use of state of the artwork heat treatment processes.
The constant overall tolerances of Ever-power chain make it perfect for conveying systems requiring precise alignment on multi-strand chain layouts.
Conveyor Chain breaking loads go beyond the minimum international standards.
Correct chain selection is essential for optimum performance. Ever-power’s experienced style team are always available to freely recommend on particular items and applications.
Standard and Deep Hyperlink conveyor chain is open to BS4116 Part 4 along with ISO 1977, with both Hollow and Solid Bearing Pins.
Extra Strength Standard Conveyor Chain
To complement our standard selection of British Standard Conveyor Chain, this extra power chain is more ideal for conveyor applications chosen on ultimate tensile power (breaking load). Each chain may be the same dimensionally as its regular counterpart, for example an extra strength 24000 pounds chain has simply the same sizes as a normal 12000 pounds series chain. This chain is used extensively in the conveying of animal feed and bulk meals stuffs such as grain, maize, wheat and raw food mixtures.
Many of these applications use scraper type conveyor systems that normally have long center distances between sprockets. This kind of systems are sometimes slower moving with little if any shock loading. Get in touch with our technical sales personnel for selection and applicational details.
