What is a 'Peg and Chain' conveyor?

A peg and chain conveyor uses a series of pegs attached to a chain to positively engage and transport individual products, ensuring precise spacing and orientation.

Can this conveyor handle different product sizes?

The ability to handle different product sizes depends on the pitch of the pegs and the adjustability of the conveyor. Some units offer adjustable peg configurations.

Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

Suitability for washdown depends on the specific construction materials and electrical enclosure ratings. Buyers should verify these details with the seller for this particular unit.

How is this conveyor integrated into an existing line?

Infeed conveyors typically require mechanical alignment with upstream and downstream equipment, and electrical integration for synchronisation and safety interlocks.

What maintenance is typically required for this type of conveyor?

Routine maintenance commonly includes lubrication of chains and bearings, inspection for wear on pegs and chain, and ensuring proper tension and alignment.
