Stainless chain for packaging
'RexPlus' is one of the new generation chains from Rexnord.
It is available in a number of different design configurations, all of which can be customised on site to fit machinery.
The design options and adaptability of the guards ensure all the problems associated with custom fabricated alternatives - such as preparing drawings, time delays and cost - are eliminated, said Rexnord.
Manufactured in either polyethylene or aluminium, the guards can be easily trimmed to size following pre-formed cutting guides in the body and projecting shaft sleeves.
This permits accurate adjustments to be made to both height and width.
Further flexibility is provided by bolt-on pedestal risers that allow height to be increased.
In addition to this all this versatility, another major feature of the Orange Peel guard is the easy access it permits.
Rexnord told manufacturingtalk that access for lubrication, inspection and maintenance is achieved simply by 'peeling' away the guard's panels which can be hinged either at the top or at the base of the assembly.
