Magnetic System chains ae secuely etained in the cuve by the small emanent magnets, located unde the hinge of the chain in the ue at of the cuve. The M seies chains un in the same Dual Magnetic System cuves as the M and 7 M lastic chains.they have 4 wide hinges, the same as 5 seies, staight un chain, so use standad 5 seies sockets. The 57 M chains, both stainless steel and lastic un in the new, heavy duty Dual Magnetic System cuves. The Novoflex MO (Otimal Seies Chain) is a futhe develoment of the Magnetic System Chain. The standad adius fo most cuves is 0. The MO chain has a diffeent shae which altes the minimum sideflex adius of the between the links. The smalle ga ensues geate oduct stability and less ossibility fo debis to become taed between the links. Seies 57 Stainless steel chains have a wide hinge, 57 to match the hinge of the heavy duty F chains. The wide hinge on the SS 57 M 7 chain means a 5% incease in the tensile stength of this chain comaed to the nomal 4 hinge wide chains. SS 57 M 7, F 57 M 7 and NG 57 M 7 chains have the same hinge width, and will un in the MD 57 Dual Magnetic System cuves.ide sockets ae also available.

Acetal Plastic (POM) Acetal is an engineeing Polyme with an outstanding ange of mechanical oeties. These ae: igh stength and stiffness. Anhydous (will not absob wate). xcellent fatigue esistance. xcellent sliding oeties. xhibits low fiction coefficients. xteme temeatue anges fom to + F ( to C). Acetal chains ae available in two basic gades:. Delin Acetal This is the oiginal basic comound intoduced in the s and contains no self lubicating additives which educe fiction, heat build u, noise and the slistick effect. Fo these easons D Acetal is now aely used as a side-flexing mateial.. ow Fiction Acetal This mateial was develoed in the 70s and contains a small ecentage of PTF which educes its fiction coefficient substantially. F has since become the industy standad fo lastic conveyo chains and is the ideal choice fo most alications. oweve, as industial demands become eve toughe F has cetain limitations unde dy conditions: lack owde oxidation, esecially on high seed aluminum can lines. ea and tea at fast seeds, esecially against UM P weastis. Noise when side-flexing. Stess coosion cacking when conveyos ae washed down with such cleaning agents as ydogen Peoxide. These factos have been edominant in the develoment of ou latest mateial, ceated fo the demands of the next centuy: New Geneation.. New Geneation xclusively develoed in conjunction with DuPont, this mateial looks to the futue equiements of conveying chains: highe seeds, educed lubication, less wea, less tea. The benefits ae clea: igh ea esistance Offes damatically sueio wea life against UM P o Stainless wea stis as well as educing wea between chain and oduct. Imoved Coefficient of Fiction Due to the addition of secial disesed lubicants. Imoved Flatness Offes a new suface finish fo moe accuate conveying. Imoved Chemical esistance Against such cleaning agents as ydogen Peoxide. Imoved Duability asts longe than standad Acetal conveyo chain and can ove moe economical in the long un. igh UV esistance Due to the secial chemical comound a high level of esistance to UV ays is ossible. owe Noise Noise is a facto of the PV atio (Pessue/Velocity) when chains ae foced to un in cuves. The chemical comound of NG vitually eliminates squeaking unde dy conditions. ighe Temeatue imits The highe temeatue ange of u to 0 F ( C) means that NG can often be utilized without going to the exense of a secial and costly igh Temeatue lastic gade.. Secial Puose s (Made to Ode) igh Temeatue Polyme Fo alications exceeding 0 F ( C), a high temeatue gade should be used (fo examle in heat shink tunnels o ovens). In each case lease consult Flexon. Anti-Static This mateial utilizes an Acetal base containing secial additives (including Cabon) which ovide use otection against static chage build u. Often used in the automotive and electonics industies. xta ow Fiction This mateial can be used fo aeas whee an exteme low fiction coefficient is equied. Although extemely slidable the mateial is vey soft due to the amount of additives contained and will wea aidly if weight o essue become too high. * Delin is a egisteed tademak of DuPont.

20 NVIONMNTA ISSUS & FICTIONA VAUS Coefficient of Fiction µ The values fo coefficient of fiction, between chain and weasti and between chain and oduct being conveyed, ae emiical data gained unde laboatoy conditions. The actual coefficient of fiction fo any secific installation can vay significantly and is deendent on factos such as lubication, suface condition of the chain, weasti and oduct, on the cleanliness of the suface, on the consistency of suface finish, etc. These figues should theefoe be used as a guide and alied with exeience and knowledge of the actual alication and installation. Choice of eastis The two most coonly used weastis ae stainless steel and UM P. The chat on the evious age indicates the coefficient of fiction fo both. Flat To chains will oeate effectively on these and on many othe weasti mateials. The uose of the weasti is to event wea to the conveyo fame, to educe fiction and to educe wea on the chain. The mateial of the chain and of the weasti must theefoe be comatible. If stainless steel is used as a weasti unde lastic chain, it should have sufficient hadness and coosion esistance to event oxides being dawn fom the steel which can cause acceleated wea to the lastic chain. ubication Coect lubication is imotant to olong the life of any conveyo chain and weasti. ubication will also ovide a smoothe unning conveyo with less maintenance. Develoments within the conveyo industy itself in ecent yeas has bought the intoduction of synthetic comounds to elace the taditional soa/wate solutions. Synthetic lubicants ae usually envionmentally fiendly as they tend to dilute moe efficiently in sewage teatment. Moden conveyo chain technology data must now addess the issue of synthetic lubicants. Today s comlete list of Flat To chain lubicants can be geneally listed as follows: a) ight Oil b) Soa/ate Mix c) ate Only d) ate with cleaning agent e) Synthetic Synthetic lubicants sometimes include a built-in cleaning agent which can also lead to chemical attack, aticulaly with standad lastics. Fo futhe infomation you should consult the conveyo manufactue concened. Cleaning If the conveyo system is cleaned on a egula basis then wea will be consideably educed. Steam o soa-based cleaning agents ae most coonly used. Standad Plastic chains must only be cleaned with liquids ossessing a value of between 4.5 and.0. It should be noted that with both steel and lastic chains it is often the cleaning agent which causes the most chemical attack. unning Dy If lubication is not desiable, o it has been decided fo cost easons to educe o emove lubication, Flexon offes cetain lastic mateials to coe with these conditions. F mateial will enable dy unning on a limited basis but New Geneation mateial will ovide imoved efomance unde dy conditions. oweve, it should be noted that even if the conveyo uns dy, cleaning should still occu on a egula basis. ate with a disinfectant agent geatly educes the damaging build u of oxides and dit. Dit and oxidation ae the majo causes of fictional inceases, theefoe the key to unning a conveyo at its most efficient and with less down time is to kee the fiction coefficient factos as low as ossible. oweve, the seach fo the lowest fiction coefficient is often a tade off fo a mateials esistance to wea. A satisfactoy medium is always advised. Flat To Chain mateials ae caable of efoming unde extemely aduous conditions. Obviously ime consideation in chain alication is the ambient temeatue faced by the conveyo and its consequent ability to efom within the mateials aametes. Flat To mateials offe wide temeatue anges as given in this table and these mateials will cove most conveyo alications.
