A competitor’s stainless steel gripper chain was being used to elevate different sized glass bottles (round, square, reverse taper) to a high-level palletizer in the plant. This manufacturer operates nonstop, year-round, making it important to have a trouble-free operation and a well-designed gripper style chain to handle the variety of bottle shapes. The manufacturer was facing a high power consumption and wear on the wear strips. The competitor’s gripper was not meeting the customer’s expectations.
System Plast® Solution
The System Plast 1873 chain with GS1 style grippers made it happen. The product handling ability is excellent with the different bottles. Also, the power consumption was reduced by 60%. After 6 months of nonstop dry running, no noticeable wear was found. At the same time, the noise level was reduced significantly.

System Plast® Chain with GS1 Style Grippers - 1873 Series
Features and Benefits
Gripper chains are mainly used for elevators, lowerators, rinsers, and washers for bottles, jars, cans, crates, and boxes. In the food and beverage industry, hygiene plays an important role. The use of chemicals for cleaning and sanitizing is increasing. This calls for chains that are suitable for applications with chemical washdowns. System Plast has developed a range of chemical resistant gripper chains, a full plastic version, and a snap-on-top-plate version.
