Since the launch of Werner's new PSU component palletiser late last year, demand for the system has been considerable.
Included in the range is the new Orient Chain Tightener that can be swivelled in any direction, both before and after assembly, allowing the belt or chain to be re-tensioned to compensate for stretching.
The teeth on both the base and the lever of the device permit this adjustment, ensuring contact every 15 throughout the entire 360 revolution.
As a result, the Orient provides 24 tightening increments.
As the Orient operates as a fixed device, it has no need for helical springs or elastomers, therefore offering the advantage of simple design and light weight.
It has a two-part construction, both elements being made from high resistance aluminium alloy, and is designed for easy mounting onto the conveyor structure.
The wide range of fixed positions it provides makes the Orient adaptable to a broad variety of applications.
Four models complete the range - the basic Orient design, the Orient-R with toothed reel, Orient-PU with pulley and the Orient-P with polyethylene head for applications where hygiene is an important consideration.
Thanks to the absence of synthetic materials, the Orient tighteners can operate at temperatures above 100degC.
The Orient is ideal for those who need a simple, space-saving means of manual adjustment with a high degree of flexibility.
However, if the customer's requirement is for automatic chain tightening, the Zetassasi range from R.
A.
Rodriquez can accommodate that need as well.
