Oil-Filled Chain And Belt Guides
A full line of FDA-approved chain and belt guides for use in unit handling conveyors that feature oil-filled UHMW to permit faster operating speeds is being introduced by Slideways, Inc.

The guides are fully impregnated with an FDA-approved lubricant and can eliminate the need for external lubrication in many applications, depending upon the load and curve radius. Permitting chains to run at up to 400 FPM, twice the speed of virgin UHMW, these chain and belt guides are available in a variety of configurations.

Featuring one- and two-piece curves in standard 18", 24", and 30" radii and as straight wear strips from 2" to 16" wide, the chain and belt guides provide a 0.16 coefficient of friction. They can accommodate stainless steel and plastic side flexing chain and thermoplastic belts. Custom configurations and sizes can also be provided.
