INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Inclined conveyors are one of the areas subject to product loss and dif-
fi cult cleaning. Inclined conveyors are a necessary means of bringing
product to a higher level for processing or packaging. The most used
type of MatTop chain on this kind of conveyor is the 2-inch pitch food
grade execution, like the Rexnord 2010 series.

Rexnord is introducing a new type of side rail, the Integrated SideRail.
This is a side rail that retains product, travels with the chain and is an
integral part of the chain design. However, this system is very different
from current two piece assembled or one piece molded side guard ex-
ecutions.

This manual describes the easy steps for converting your current sys-
tem to the new effi ciency improving Rexnord 2010 Integrated

SideRail
