*The minimum load spacing is also the nominal chain pitch for each type system. Loads may be spaced on any increment of this chain pitch, depending on your requirement and any additional clearance needed for your product to maneuver the selected turns and vertical curves. Larger radius turns require less clearance.
**Increase capacity by use of load-bars, but keep in mind it is often less expensive to go to the larger conveyor, unless they are spaced far apart.
***A quick idea on your drive pull requirement may be determined by multiplying the total live load by .035 (monoplane systems only). Elevation changes add "lift pull" to your total. Lift pull is calculated by multiplying the total elevation change of inclines only (no declines) by the product weight per foot of conveyor.
Note: Should this method result in any more than half of the rated system capacity, give us a call to consider your chain pull more closely. Adequate drive pull capacity is an important factor in your decision. Save by selecting the correct drive arrangement up front, rather than making corrections later.
