Conveyor chain, like transmission roller chain, can be manufactured 
to a variety of international standards. The primary standards available are:
British Standard (BS)
This standard covers chain produced to suit the British market and markets where a strong British presence has dominated engineering design and purchasing. The standard is based on the original Ever-power Conveyor Chain design.
ISO Standard Chain
Chain produced to ISO Standard is not interchangeable with BS or DIN Regular Chain. This standard has a wide acceptance in the European marketplace, except in Germany. Chain manufactured to this standard is becoming more popular and are utilized extensively in the Scandinavian region.
Ever-power has comprehensive experience in the manufacture of conveyor chain. The Ever-power specification of conveyor chain offers taken many years in design and advancement to achieve the optimum product.
In order to ensure this is translated into product performance, we strictly control:

Ever-power Ultimate Reliability
The main element to Ever-power chain reliability is consistency in design and manufacture.
Maximum chain strength and resistance to wear are achieved by strict control of the materials specification and by using state of the artwork heat treatment processes.
The consistent overall tolerances of Ever-power chain make it ideal for conveying systems requiring precise alignment on multi-strand chain layouts.
Breaking loads go beyond the minimum international standards.
Appropriate chain selection is essential for the best performance. Ever-power's experienced design team are always available to Conveyor Chains freely advise on particular items and applications.
Standard and Deep Link conveyor chain is open to BS4116 Part 4 in addition to ISO 1977, with both Hollow and Solid Bearing Pins.
Extra Strength Standard Conveyor Chain
To check our standard selection of British Standard Conveyor Chain, this extra strength chain is more suitable for conveyor applications selected on ultimate tensile power (breaking load). Each chain may be the same dimensionally as its normal counterpart, for example an extra strength 24000 lbs chain has simply the same measurements as a normal 12000 pounds series chain. This chain is used extensively in the conveying of animal feed and bulk meals stuffs such as grain, maize, wheat and raw food mixtures.
Many of these applications make use of scraper type conveyor systems that as a rule have long center distances between sprockets. Such systems are sometimes slow moving with little or no shock loading. Get in touch with our technical sales staff for selection and applicational details.
