Sprocket Flexibility matched with power and durability is the essence of The Designer System drives. The conveyor chain flexes around the end of the conveyor, over the drive sprockets and continues underneath without ever leaving the frame. There is no loose catenary to contend with - the chain is under control at all times.
Drive sprockets are two-piece units making maintenance and repair quick and simple.
The drive shaft does not have to be removed for sprocket replacement. Sprockets are also protected by a shear pin making an expensive friction clutch unnecessary. One end of this drive shaft can extend out whichever side of the conveyor is preferred. Drives and idlers are identical in design and are offered in durable polypropylene. The conveyor drive is always positioned at one end of the conveyor with the idler, or return, at the other end.
