It is used inpractically every industry worldwide

18、. It can be installed to follow almost any path, changing directionvertically or horizontally. Using multiple drives, a single path can be miles (kilometers) in length.Beyond material transportation in ambient indoor or outdoor environments, typical industrial applicationsof trolley chain conveyors

19、for product processing include:Washing/cleaning/finishingPhosphatizing or similar treatmentsSolvent degreasingPaint strippingBaking/drying up to 525OF (270OC)Prime and finish paintingFreezingCoolingFood HandlingIn certain environments, humans cannot survive or human health is endangered, yet conveyi

20、ng meansare essential. Under many conditions, other types of conveyors are not practical or would not haveacceptable life expectancy. The overhead trolley chain conveyor combines its directional flexibility(horizontal and vertical curve movement) with its tolerance to adverse environments to broaden

21、 itsapplications to user requirements.Each product carrier is especially designed to suit secure handling while providing ease in loading andunloading, whether this is done manually, semi-automatically, or automatically. Further designconsiderations are required where the product is processed and no

22、t merely transported.With adequate part (or carrier) clearance within recommended allowable loading, any type of productmay be transported. Carriers may be in the form of hooks, slings, boxes, racks, trays, baskets, or one ofother numerous configurations to suit the application requirement.The prefe

23、rred conveyor system uses standard components wherever possible in the principal interest ofeconomics (minimum cost). Countless specially designed components are available and are used whererequired. In this event, it is recommended that the manufacturer be consulted.This standard provides basic eng

24、ineering guidelines to enable the proper selection of standard componentsand develop these into a functional conveyor layout. Content is confined to single drive systems ofaverage loading, path configuration, and length.CEMA Standard 601-1995 - PDF Version 20032SECTION IIDEFINITIONS FOR TROLLEY CHAI
