Standard Attachments

Description

Standard attachments are parts fitted to a base chain to adapt it for a particular purpose as a conveying medium. Attachments may form an integral part of the link plate or may be built into the chain as a replacement of the normal link. Other attachments (according to type) are fixed to the chain plates by projection or fillet welding, to either one or both sides of the chain.

F Attachments
Outer or Inner Links

F Attachments provide a flat surface at right angles to the chain plate. They are used for securing pushers, scraper bars, etc.

K Attachments
Outer or Inner Links

K Attachments provide a platform parallel to the chain line and bearing pin axis. They are used for securing slats, scrapers, buckets etc. to the chain.

L Attachments

L Attachments are integral with the chain outer plates. Normally they have one or two holes (L2 preferred), but for use on scraper applications they can be supplied without holes and with various box widths (LO Type).
