As one of the most popular material handling solutions in current warehouses, gravity conveyors are used in all areas of the warehouse, as well as being ideal for use on shipping docks and in warehouse pick & pack operations. They are available in skate wheel conveyor or gravity roller conveyor parts configurations. Both types can be used with a combination of gravity and powered conveyors to form a complete conveyor system.

Advice on replacing conveyor chain

so, over the past 3 weeks i have been running into a serious problem that is only getting worse day by day. i am having rollers jam at the entry up. typically, being i am front wheel pull, my timing is set up to load 2 rollers up for the front wheel, then skip a roller, then load 2 more for the rear wheel. what's happening is the roller that is suppose to be skipped is slightly coming up then twisting to the right and jamming into the track. I then have to back the vehicle out over the first 2 rollers and use a crowbar to pull the chain back into place and reset the third roller. this is now happening anywhere from 2-10 times a day.

I am using a log chain currently, and have been told its not the ideal chain for this conveyor. So any thoughts on the SC78 chains? anyone running them, or having issues with them?

i have had 3 different companies in to look at the system and they are all telling me to replace the chain...it was just replaced in march. Adjustment looks good, tension is good, and the chain doesnt look twisted anywhere. ive also tried adjusting the timing so i only have 1 roller up in the front but then the second roller will jam. this isnt happening when the rear rollers come up, only the fronts. its very odd to me.
