Drop Forged Rivetless Chain for Overhead Conveying Systems X Type X348 X458 X658 X678
X Type drop forged rivetless chain(Bar Loop Chains X Type), also referred as drop forged trolley chain. Designed to flex transversely on shorter radius and assembled and disassembled without the use of tool for easy installation and maintenance. The outer links are consisted of panels to increase strength of sidebars and the special pitch prevents materials from falling off the links. Drop forged rivetless chains are commonly used for overhead conveyors, trolleys, automobile industry, meat processing industry, assembly lines and so on. They can be assembled and applied with related chains products and accessories including trolleys, side-link pushers, drive dog and caterpillar dog chain.

Types of Drop-Forged Chain
There are three types of drop-forged chains:
(1) H-Type drop-forged chain is furnished with heat-treated pins that are symmetrical and may be reversed when one side is worn. Standard drop forged chain can be furnished in carbon steel or high-strength alloy steel materials.
(2) X-Type drop-forged chain is furnished with all chain components heat treated and is designed to have increased flexibility and overall, better performance. X-type drop forged chain can be furnished in carbon steel or high-strength alloy steel materials.
(3) S-Type drop-forged chain manufactured with standard, forged block links and fabricated steel sidebars. This chain offers the advantage of a flat steel sidebar for welding attachments. The pins are a riveted style to keep the sidebars locked in place, eliminating the chance of the chain coming apart when slack is present. This also reduces unnecessary wear between the pins and inner links.
Drop Forged Chains Manufacturing Process
Drop forging: Conveyor chains belong to closed die drop forging, so forging dies will make first; our in-house die workshop will supply you high precision forging dies and then drop the forged conveyor chain with the next shape.
Machining: Our advanced CNC machining centers guarantee superior and permanent quality. Machining will ensure perfect assembling and working. These machining operations include milling, drilling, boring, etc.
Heat treatment: Heat treatment can ensure uniform surface hardness and depth. Heat treatment is the heart process for making drop-forged conveyor chains. With many years of experience, we will know how to treat heat to achieve the best operating performance.
Quality testing: Checked and tested in our testing room, especially for hardness. And the testing result will be placed in our well-organized database so that it can be checked at any time.
Applications of Drop-Forged Rivetless Chain
Drop forged rivetless chain is a high-strength-to-weight ratio chain that can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled without the use of tools. The loose link designs help to prevent material from packing into the joints therefore offering some self-cleaning ability. Typical applications include overheard conveyors, twin-strand conveyors, flight conveyors, washing lines and trolley conveyors. It is often found being used in compacting or sticky material applications, paint lines, heavy-duty swarf conveyors, sugar mill conveyors, meat processing and appliance assembly lines to name a few.

Side Link Pusher Dog
Side link pusher dogs are forged components and are used for drop forged rivetless chains. Their main function is to engage with the Front Flopper Dog of the leading free trolley on the lower track of the Power and Free Conveyor System.
Center Link Pusher DogThis products main function is to connect Pusher Dogs in the conveyor system. It can connect with one Pusher Dog or one on both sides of the Center Link.
Center Link Attachment
This series of forged or casted parts are mounted on the center link of the rivetless conveyor chain, adding a variety of different functions and applications to the center link.
Extended Pin
This product is a forged part. Its function is to connect the side link and the center link to fixed chains. It can also be combined with different types of trolleys, hangers, and pusher dog extensions to provide alternative conveying functions.
H Attachment
This is a universal auxiliary hanger accessory. It is made of a combination of two metal plates and which is suitable for most types of hooks, racks, and trays.Side Link Pusher Dog Center Link Attachment Extended Pin H Attachment

Hanger Hanger
A variety of hanger styles and accessories are available to suit the design of the conveyor chain equipment. Hangers do not affect the operation of the chain. They are used where vertical lifting of weight is required, and the load must be directly above or below the trolley wheel set. If the load is heavy, we can use the load bar to connect more than 2 sets of trolley wheels, and equally distribute the load over the pair of trolleys. This will suspend the load at the center of the load bar to equalize the loading distribution over the trolley wheels.
Swivel Hook
The swivel hook can be forged or casted. It allows the load to be positioned at a 90-degree angle. And it allows operators to move the product in a full 360 degrees while on the conveyor system. It is used with H attachments.Forged Bracket
The strength of the forged bracket indirectly determines the lifespan of the conveyor system. To ensure that the chain runs according to the track design route, the forged bracket is pulled by the chain and runs along the track. It needs to bear the combined force of the chain tension when turning vertically and horizontally. The hanger is made of high-strength carbon steel and can be divided into two types: overhead and ground. Our forged brackets are forged from high-strength carbon steel. The brackets are divided into two types: Overhead and Inverted.
Power Trolley
Power trolleys are an important option during the design phase of the conveyor equipment. The main function of a power trolley is to support the chain, bear the weight of hangers and the conveyor equipment parts such as pieces in work. Bearings, hangers, and forged brackets are the main components of a power trolley.Power&Free conveyor system Power Trolley
