Are you struggling with foreign matter contamination in the transportation process of food (bread) and metal trays? The plastic modular chain, being made of plastic, suppresses the generation of metal wear powder. Additionally, the plastic chain for the baking industry has a thick structure that is less prone to chipping, thereby reducing the risk of foreign matter contamination and ensuring food safety. ■Features - The magnets are available in strong magnetic and low magnetic types. The strong magnetic type can transport trays and products in processes where butter and other substances are applied, even on inclined surfaces where trays and products are likely to slip off. The low magnetic type has 60% of the magnetic force of the strong magnetic type. It softens the impact when the transported items separate from the chain while moving from an inclined conveyor to a horizontal conveyor, reducing damage to the transported items and the chain. The low magnetic type uses cylindrical magnets to prevent the magnets from protruding during sliding wear. *This does not guarantee the use of magnets in a protruding state. - Customizable magnet arrangement. You can specify the desired spacing for the magnets to be inserted on the right, left, both sides, or in a staggered arrangement relative to the direction of travel. ■Applications - Transportation of metal trays - Processes for applying edible oils - Inclined transportation
