Foshan Speed Chain Manufacturer Custom Guide Selection Points and Price Analysis

Basic Knowledge: What is a multiplier chain? Why do you need customisation?

Speed multiplier chain is a kind of conveyor system which achieves the pallet running speed higher than the chain itself through the structure of speed increasing roller, and its core value lies inEnhanced conveying efficiencyrespond in singingSupport for flexible production. Foshan, as a manufacturing town, localised customisation can accurately match the following needs:

1. ​Efficiency multiplier: The 3x speed chain enables line speeds of up to 9 metres per second, which is three times faster than conventional belt lines, dramatically compressing production cycle times.
2. ​Process AdaptationThe customisation can be optimised for: electronic assemblies requiring accumulation and release functions (blocker positioning accuracy ≤ 0.5mm), automotive components requiring heavy-duty chains (steel material load-bearing capacity > 50kg/m).
3. ​Space optimisation: Modular design supports back layout, saving plant area of more than 30%.

Scenarios in action: how to select the model and choose the manufacturer?

Four Steps to Selection (Avoiding Parameter Mistakes)

1. ​Environmental Confirmation: Temperature (-10°C to 80°C), speed (5-15m/min) and length (<15m) are the basic thresholds.
2. ​load calculation::
   WA(kg/m) = (Workpiece weight W1 + Pallet weight W2) / Pallet travelling distance PL
   Steel chains are required for light loads (30kg/m).
3. ​Tension Calibration::
   T = 9.8/1000 × [(Hw+Cw)L1-fc + Aw-L2-fa + (Aw+Cw)L2-fr + 1.1Cw(L1+L2)-fc]
   if the result isExceeding the permissible chain tensionIf you need to upgrade the specification or split the length of the body of the line, you can do so.
4. ​Functional additions: Servo motor for electrified conveyor (+2000RMB/m), jacking and transplanting mechanism required for high-precision positioning (synchronisation error ≤0.3mm).

Foshan manufacturers screening three elements

• ​Technical qualifications: Check the manufacturers with more than 16 years of experience (e.g. Yehao, Guanrui) and have the ability to plan the whole line.
• ​Case MatchingIn the home appliance/electronics industry, priority is given to Seito (Midea's supply chain co-operation), and in the automotive industry, look at Xinyi Guomao (heavy-duty chain patents).
• ​cost control: Local factory saves 15% shipping cost than overseas, and supports payment in stages (30% deposit + 70% acceptance).

Price analysis and guide to avoiding the pitfalls

Price stratification (quoted per metre)

cost-sensitive

• ​Material Premium: Stainless steel is 30% more expensive than carbon steel, but lasts three times longer.
• ​functional surcharge: Auto-tensioning + charged transport increases cost by 151 TP3T, but failure rate drops by 401 TP3T.
• ​Hidden costs: Neglecting to install and commission (accounting for 10% of the quote) or failing to allow for 1.5x line width space may result in rework.

Solution: Remedies for customisation failures

Problem 1: Broken chain or worn wear strips

​cause of formation: Miscalculation of loads or incorrect selection (e.g. light chains carrying heavy loads).
​remediation::

• Stop the machine immediately and review the actual load with a tensiometer;
• Replace the chain with a larger one (e.g. 2.5x speed up to 3x speed) and reinforce the bracket spacing to ≤ 1 metre.

Problem 2: Thread running or shaking

​cause of formation: Track level error >0.5mm/m or sprocket alignment deviation.
​remediation::

• Laser calibration of track joints (plug gauge test ≤ 0.05mm);
• Motor-gearbox calibration by double table method (radial deviation ≤ 0.08mm).

Issue 3: Excessive energy consumption

​cause of formation: Not equipped with a frequency converter or the motor is too powerful.
​optimisation::

• Add the intelligent start-stop module, automatic speed reduction when no load;
• Food grade lubricant is selected (molybdenum disulphide grease is prohibited) and the coefficient of friction is reduced by 15%.

Ultimate decision-making recommendations

1. ​Priority Local Services: Foshan manufacturer 2 hours response to failure, off-site maintenance delay ≥ 24 hours.
2. ​The contract specifies three::
   • Tension tolerance range (e.g. ±5%);
   • Full load test run 72 hours clause;
   • Wear parts are replaced free of charge during the warranty period.
3. ​Harnessing the policy dividend: Apply for the "Smart Manufacturing Upgrade Subsidy" and reimburse up to 60% for the equipment.

Customised speed chain is a systematic project, which requires closed-loop control from selection and calculation to manufacturer coordination. By grasping the three major lifelines of "load accuracy", "space compatibility" and "operation and maintenance cost", we can transform the efficiency improvement into real profit.
