Sprockets, Idler Wheels and Chains

Movex are a world-renowned manufacturer with a comprehensive range of conveyor components, but at the heart of any build is the conveyor chain or belt. Their range of conveyor chains includes straight-running and side-flexing types, with steel or thermoplastic flights, covering every application (tab, magnetic, bevel, gripper, vacuum, neck steriliser, rubber top, roller and crate chains).

Constantly improving their tried and tested designs, most thermoplastic chains are now also available in premium-grade PFX material, which has a much reduced coefficient of friction. This ensures longer belt life whilst requiring less driving power, creating less wear and producing less dust. A strong chain that is resistant to most cleaning processes, can be run dry without any lubricants and has a high PV strength, allowing faster running lines with heavier loads than standard acetal variants.

With technical engineer support through SL Plastics, programs to help calculate the PV for any application and chain, and the industry-accredited quality that ensures maximum life, uninterrupted running and minimum service requirements, whether you are building conveyors or replacing an existing chain, you can be assured that fitting a Movex chain is the right way to go. Many chains are direct equivalents of industry standards, so just let SL Plastics know the belt you are currently using, and we will do the rest.
