Plastic Flat Top Chain 820 is one of the most common and widely used plastic conveyor chain series globally, especially in industries requiring high standards of hygiene, speed, and stability, such as food processing, beverages, dairy, and bottling/labeling machines. This chain series is a superior replacement for traditional stainless steel chains due to its extremely quiet, durable operation, and minimal noise reduction during continuous operation.

Flat Top Chain 820 Surface Variants and Mandatory Accessories
820 Plastic Chain Variants for various special applications:
- Rubber Top Plastic Conveyor Chain: Chain plates are fitted with rubber friction inserts (NBR/EPDM/Elastomer). For Incline Applications, the rubber layer creates high grip, preventing products from sliding or rolling backward when conveying up/down slopes or carrying trays, boxes, and cartons.
- Flighted Plastic Conveyor Chain: An 820 plastic chain type with flights (cleats) on the chain surface for automated packaging line applications. These flights form a small pocket that runs according to a PLC program step for products to be packed into boxes or PET bags.
Drive and Idler Sprockets are mandatory drive components, and the correct specifications must be chosen to synchronize with the 820 chain.
- Material: Nylon PA6 (Milling/Machining – White or Injection Molding – Black)
- Number of Teeth: Available sprockets: Z15, Z17, Z19, Z21, Z23, Z25
- Bore Diameter (Bore Dia.): Standard sizes: 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 (plain bore or bore with keyway and square shaft hole)
- Chain Wear Strips/Guides must be correctly selected.
Calculating 820 Plastic Conveyor Chain Load (Simple Formula): To estimate the actual load for the 820 plastic chain line, you can refer to the formula: [Length of 01 conveyor line (mm) / Bottle base diameter (mm)] x Weight of one unit of loaded product.
