AMC's Modu-Flex 83 has six transport media styles available that support various load ratings and applications. The new generation chain material which is used in the manufacture of this chain, has reduced contamination from powdering associated with other chain manufacturers. Choose the media that best suits your needs or integrate them together for your specific requirements.

Each transport media has seven different types of chain material from which to choose. When selecting your transport media, it is important to keep in mind what type of material would best suit your application.

Chain may be purchased in 3 meter increments pre-assembled by AMC. It is also possible to purchase chain as individual links to use in any combination available. Chain links may be purchased and assembled as one continuous chain by AMC or they may be assembled yourself. When having AMC assemble your chain, it is necessary to specify the spacing interval of each link needed. This would apply when using Grip-Top and Cleated Chain.

Low Back Pressure and Side-Grip Chain are normally assembled as continuous links, although they may be used periodically along the length of the chain.

Flat-Top Chain is used for general conveyance of pallets or products. The chain was designed exclusively by AMC to minimize gaps between links and provide a smooth, continuous surface. Stainless steel connecting pins are used for greater strength and corrosion resistance. Flat-Top Chain can be used in horizontal conveyors and inclined conveyors up to 5 degrees.

Flat-Top Chain has an operating temperature range of -40° C to 82° C. (-40° F to 18°0 F)

Grip-Top Chain is used in applications where the conveyor is on a 5 degree incline/decline or more. It prevents product or pallet slippage on the chain by using high friction elastomeric strips that are molded into the chain links.

Grip-Top Chain can be used in every link of chain, or spaced as the application requires. Inclines up to 45° can be accommodated depending on the pallet length or product center of gravity.

Grip-Top Chain has an operating temperature range of -40° C to 82°C. (-40°F to 180°F)

Side-Grip Chain incorporates "D" shaped gripper attachments on each chain link. This chain provides the ability to elevate or lower products from directly vertical to horizontal, or any angle in between. This is done by using two conveyors on edge, side by side, with grippers facing each other.

Side-Grip Chain grippers gently hold the product without crushing it. The gripper attachments are made from a specially formulated black elastomer to a durometer of 45 Shore A. For applications requiring a harder gripper, 60 Shore A is also available. Side-Grip Chain has an operating temperature range of -40° C to 82° C. (-40°F to 180°F)

Low Back Pressure Chain is used only in horizontal, or nearly horizontal conveyors where accumulation of the product is done.

This type of chain incorporates a flat surface of free spinning rollers. The chain offers the lowest possible friction between the pallets or product and the chain. The extremely low friction coefficient of 0.07 protects the product by reducing backline pressure while accumulating. Low Back Pressure Chain has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 82°C. (-40°F to 180°F)

Cleated Chain can be used for elevating product on a very steep incline (45 degrees or more). It can also be used to maintain separation between the products being conveyed. Cleated chain cannot be used with the Carousel or Combo Drive systems.

Cleated Chain has integrally molded "cleats". The cleated links can be placed every link, or spaced at intervals with other chain types as the application requires. The cleats are available in 15mm or 30mm heights.

Cleated Chain has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 82°C. (40°F to 180°F)
