CONVEYOR CHAIN EQUIPPED WITH CLEATS

摘要

In a chain conveyor (1) provided with cleats (2) to withdraw containers (4) and feed them to a rotary seamer (7) in a substantially horizontal plane of conveyance, the actuating chain (3) is positioned on a plane that is inclined relative to the plane of conveyance but not orthogonal thereto. In prior art solutions for chain conveyors with cleats, the chain is positioned In a vertical plane, this entailing problems linked to the size of the cleats, or in a horizontal plane, this entailing mechanical problems related to the sliding and lubrication of the chain.
