Double Pitch Top Roller Conveyor Chain

What Is a Double Pitch Top Roller Conveyor Chain?

Our Double Pitch Top Roller Conveyor Chain is a lightweight, cost‑effective conveying chain featuring free‑rotating top rollers mounted above the chain’s base rollers, with pitch twice that of standard roller chain. This design provides a stable, low‑friction product support surface while reducing overall chain weight and cost, making it ideal for longer conveyor runs. Manufactured in accordance with ISO 606 and ANSI B29.1 standards for double pitch chains, this chain enables smooth accumulation, zero‑pressure conveying, and minimal product marking without complex control systems.

Key Features of Double Pitch Top Roller Conveyor Chain

• Free‑rotating top rollers (steel or engineered plastic) that minimize product friction and wear

• Double pitch construction (pitch twice standard) reduces weight and drive requirements

• Heat‑treated pins and bushings for extended wear life

• Open‑link design facilitates cleaning and debris shedding

• Pre‑stressed assembly to minimize initial elongation and maintain consistent pitch accuracy

• Top rollers available on every link or at selected intervals

Technical Specifications of Double Pitch Top Roller Conveyor Chain
