Many factories are building longer conveyor systems to transport parts, packages and bulk goods. Cost control for long transmission routes becomes a key point for mechanical designers. ANSI double pitch conveyor chain becomes a preferred option for these projects.
In the past, some engineers used standard short pitch roller chain for long conveyors. But the full chain weight is high, and the total purchase cost is higher. Double pitch chain solves this problem. With doubled pitch, the total chain weight drops, while all single component dimensions still comply with ANSI standards. No need to redesign sprockets.
Buyers from packaging, agriculture and light assembly industries send more inquiries for C2040, C2050, C2080 and other common models. They care about consistent heat treatment quality and stable delivery cycle, not only low price.
Chain manufacturers keep optimizing plate stamping and heat treatment processes. They also provide customized surface treatment to resist rust in humid workshops. Industry insiders expect that demand for ANSI double pitch conveyor chain will keep steady growth, as more small and medium factories upgrade their automatic conveying systems.
