CC600 Conveyor Chain: A Durable Solution for the Bottling Industry

The CC600 series chain is a proven and trusted solution in the gas bottling sector, specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) bottling operations. With its superior durability and wear resistance, this chain continues to be the preferred choice for distributors and end users who require a dependable product — right the first time, every time.

Designed for Reliability in Harsh Environments

The CC600 chain was engineered with a focus on strength, flexibility, and longevity. Ideal for multi-strand conveyors, it is particularly well-suited for handling individual loads in environments that experience mild corrosion. Supported within guide channels, the chain exhibits excellent flexibility, allowing for smooth and fluid movement across varied layouts and applications.

Key Applications

While the chain's construction allows it to be applied in a range of heavy-duty conveyor systems, its primary use remains in the bottling industry. It is specially tailored to transport crates and gas bottles — operations where stability, wear resistance, and reliable movement are essential.

Key Features of the CC600 Conveyor Chain

1. Flush Stud Ends

• Description: The chain is designed with stud ends that are flush with the outer surface of the links.

• Benefit: This feature eliminates protrusions that can catch or wear unevenly, enabling smoother operation and reducing the risk of damage to both the chain and the products being transported.

2. Large Top and Bottom Rubbing Areas

• Description: The chain links offer a broad surface area on both the upper and lower sides.

• Benefit: These larger contact zones reduce localized stress and wear, enhancing the chain’s load-bearing capacity and service life. It also helps in distributing friction more evenly across the conveyor support surfaces.

3. Iron Link Construction (Softer Than the Track)

• Description: The CC600 uses ductile or malleable iron links that are deliberately softer than the track.

• Benefit: This intentional design minimizes track wear and allows the chain to act as a self-lubricating component, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and lowering operational costs.

4. Corrosion-Resistant Properties

• Description: Though not stainless, the iron material and surface treatments offer resilience to mild corrosive environments.

• Benefit: Ideal for use in semi-humid or corrosive settings like LPG bottling plants, the chain maintains performance without rapid degradation.

5. High Flexibility

• Description: The chain is constructed to be highly flexible when supported in channels.

• Benefit: This ensures it can follow curved or complex conveyor paths with ease, which is crucial in high-throughput bottling lines or compact industrial setups.

6. Self-Lubricating Action

• Description: The interaction between the softer iron link and harder track provides a natural lubricating effect.

• Benefit: Less external lubrication is needed, reducing maintenance time and contamination risks in sensitive production environments.

7. Versatile Application Design

• Description: Although engineered for the gas bottling industry, its performance characteristics suit various heavy-duty uses.

• Benefit: The CC600 can handle crates, gas bottles, bins, and industrial loads, making it suitable for food & beverage, petrochemical, and other material handling sectors.
  
  
  

Conclusion

The CC600 series conveyor chain stands out for its robust performance, longevity, and application-specific design. Whether transporting gas bottles or crates, its combination of structural reliability and low-maintenance performance makes it an indispensable component in bottling and material handling systems.
