REXNORD INTEGRATED SIDERAIL
Integrated Side Rail (ISR)
Based on feedback from the market Rexnord
has designed the new Integrated SideRail to
address the defi ciencies of most conventional
systems. The system consists of 2 integrated
staggered blades per end module that interact
together when the chain operates; this system
provides the following advantages and features:
•
The blades overlap in such a way that allows the Integrated SideRail to al
ways stay fully closed through out the chain cycle. This includes when fl exing
over a sprocket and through all angled transitions. The orientation of the Inte
grated SideRail blades is such that the product is always guided to the inside
of the chain when travelling up the incline. These features result in minimizing
product loss and increasing throughput.
•
Due to rigid design of the Integrated SideRail, the system is very stable and
can work in accurately designed conveyors. This also minimizes any gap
between the pusher fl ight and the side rail system as they can be positioned
virtually against each other. This reduces product loss, damage and elimi-
nates adjustment issues associated with other side rail systems.
•
The Integrated SideRail can be used with a back-fl ex radius as small as 12-
inch
[305mm]
, meeting the industry standard for existing and new conveyors.
•
The side indent is a fi xed 2-inch [50,8mm] from the edge of the chain to the
outboard side of the blade. This allows for an optimum chain support through
out the return way. Also this side indent maximizes upgrade possibilities in
existing conveyors [see paragraph 1.4].
•
The Integrated SideRail remains overlapped through out the incline and when
for-fl exing around the sprocket. The minimum sprocket diameter for this is
6.5-inch
[165mm, 10 teeth]
. This optimizes the unloading of the conveyor with-
out any product loss.
•
Integrated SideRail maximizes the conveyor capacity due to the availability of
a 4-inch
[101,6mm]
(ISR4)
and 6-inch
[152,6mm]
(ISR6)
high execution. This
makes it possible to combine the system with any straight or curved pusher
attachments when utilized with the 2-inch pitch 2010-series MatTop® chain.
