Grip Chains (Film Gripper Chains)

Gripper Chain Clamping Types

Our gripper chains are compatible with a wide range of clamp types, each designed to suit different application needs:

• Simple Frame Clamp (Type A): Opens vertically with slight lateral movement to follow the cam shape, providing easy engagement.

• Standard Frame Clamp (Type B): Allows a combination of vertical movement and horizontal rotation for efficient film engagement and scrap release.

• Teeth Frame Clamp (Type C): Offers superior clamping performance, especially for thicker and stronger films.

• Clamp with Extra Plastic (Type D): Features a combination of steel and plastic plates, ensuring optimal wear resistance and longevity.

• Tip Clamp (Type E/F): The clamping force depends on the material being transported and the spring’s coil and diameter, offering flexibility for different materials.

• Button Clamp (Type G/H): Enables symmetrical rotation with a holding force determined by the material being transported. This clamp does not swivel outward when opened.

• Horizontal Clamp (Type I): Equipped with two 30N springs for uniform film clamping, it enhances film retention and ensures smooth operation.

Grip chains are available in a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel-plated steel. They can also be lubricated with food-grade lubricants for use in food processing applications.

After several years of research and development, HZPT Gripper Chain has adopted a more reliable clamping mechanism design, M type, resulting in improved chain performance.

Film Gripper Chains Design

Here are some of the advantages of film gripper chains:

1. Corrosion resistance: Film gripper chains are available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel and nickel-plated steel. These materials are resistant to corrosion, which is important in applications where the chain may be exposed to moisture or chemicals.

2. Strength and wear resistance: Film gripper chains are made from strong materials that can withstand the forces of the conveyor belt. The chains are also designed to minimize wear, which can extend their lifespan.

3. Precision handling: Film gripper chains can handle a wide variety of materials with precision. The clamps on the chain grip the material securely, preventing it from slipping or falling.

4. Ease of installation and maintenance: Film gripper chains are easy to install and maintain. The chains are typically pre-stretched and matched, which makes it easy to set up the conveyor system. The chains are also lubricated at the factory, which helps to extend their lifespan.

Gripper Chain Sprockets for Gripper Chains

Gripper chain sprockets are typically made from steel or aluminum, and they have a series of teeth that engage with the links of the gripper chain. The number of teeth on the sprocket determines the speed of the gripper chain, and the size of the teeth determines the amount of force that the sprocket can apply to the chain.

Gripper chains are typically made from stainless steel or nickel-plated steel. The material of the gripper chain must be able to withstand the forces of the conveyor belt and the material being conveyed. The gripper chain also needs to be corrosion resistant, as it may be exposed to moisture or chemicals in some applications.

The gripper chain is designed to grip the material securely. The gripper chain usually has a series of clamps or jaws that grip the material. The clamps or jaws are typically made from stainless steel or nickel-plated steel, and they are designed to grip a variety of materials without damaging them.

Gripper chain sprockets and gripper chains are a versatile and reliable solution for a variety of material handling applications. They are strong, durable, and easy to maintain. If you are looking for a way to convey plastic film or other materials securely and efficiently, gripper chain sprockets and gripper chains are a good option to consider.
