Description
This page covers the joint detail of the ice cream cold chain conveyor chain: a white cylindrical roller carried on a stainless steel side plate, closed by a pin and hinge joint, with an attachment pin end available where something has to be mounted on the chain. Because the four parts are made to work together, a joint stays located and free-moving even after the chain has been through many cold and warm cycles.
Product Features
- Pin and hinge joint that closes the link and lets it articulate
- White cylindrical roller seated on the stainless steel side plate
- Attachment pin end available where flights or brackets have to be fitted
- Stainless steel side plates on both sides of the link
- Joint parts formed as a matched set so the hinge stays located in service
- Replacement pins and rollers supplied for joint repair
- Chain supplied made up, or as loose links for workshop assembly
Product Advantages
- A properly matched joint keeps the chain articulating after repeated cold and warm cycles
- Joint repair with new pins and rollers costs far less than a new chain run
- Attachment pin ends remove the need for a separate carrier system
- Stainless steel and white roller surfaces suit food-area cold conveying
- One supplier for links, pins, rollers and sprockets keeps spares simple
- Joint parts produced with over 40 years of chain manufacturing experience

Application Scenarios
The joint detail matters most where a chain has to work through many cycles or carry an attachment. Typical applications include:
- Freezer tunnels where the chain sees repeated cold and warm cycles
- Conveying sections fitted with flights on attachment pin ends
- Cold store lines where joints have to stay free-moving over long shifts
- Repair work where pins and rollers are replaced on an existing run
- Multi-lane frozen conveying where every joint has to match
- Lines where a joint failure would stop production
