STEP 2
Low Temperature Application
Chain Contraction Expected
Figure 27 Comb Transfer Plate Mounting (Low Temperature)
1. Secure the 2 center most transfer plates
as shown.
2. Position fasteners in the remaining
transfer plates to the corresponding right
side or left side of the slots to allow for
contraction at low temperatures.
High Temperature Application
Chain Expansion Expected
Figure 28 Comb Transfer Plate Mounting (High Temperature)
1. Secure the 2 center most transfer plates
as shown. These will track the chain.
2. On transfer plates to the left of center,
position fasteners to the left side of the
slot. On the right hand transfer plates,
position fasteners to the right side of the
slot. This arrangement will allow these
transfer plates to move as required to
accommodate changes in chain width
up to 1 - 1.2" (38.1)
For Room Temperature Applications
1. Secure the 2 center most transfer plates
as shown above.
2. The transfer plates to the left and right
should have fasteners centered in the
mounting slots.
