Conveyor chain, like tranny roller chain, can be manufactured to a variety of international standards. The primary standards available are:
Conveyor Chain British Standard (BS)
This standard covers chain produced to match the British market and markets where a strong British presence has dominated engineering design and purchasing. The typical is centered on the original Ever-power Conveyor Chain design.
ISO Standard Chain
Chain produced to ISO Standard isn’t interchangeable with BS or DIN Regular Chain. This standard includes a wide acceptance in the European marketplace, except in Germany. Chain produced to this standard is now more popular and are used extensively in the Scandinavian area.
Ever-power has comprehensive experience in the manufacture of conveyor chain. The Ever-power specification of conveyor chain provides taken a long time in design and development to achieve the optimum product.
To be able to ensure that is translated into product performance, we strictly control:

Ever-power Ultimate Reliability
The key 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 material specification and through the use of state of the art heat treatment processes.
The constant overall tolerances of Ever-power chain make it perfect for conveying systems requiring precise alignment on multi-strand chain layouts.
Breaking loads go beyond the minimum international standards.
Appropriate chain selection is vital for maximum performance. Ever-power’s experienced design team are always open to freely advise on particular products and applications.
Standard and Deep Link conveyor chain is available to BS4116 Part 4 and also ISO 1977, with both Hollow and Solid Bearing Pins.
Extra Strength Standard Conveyor Chain
To check our standard range 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 basically the same sizes as a standard 12000 lbs series chain. This chain is used extensively in the conveying of pet feed and bulk meals stuffs such as for example grain, maize, wheat and raw food mixtures.
Most of these applications make use of scraper type conveyor systems that as a rule have long centre distances between sprockets. Such systems are sometimes gradual moving with little if any shock loading. Contact our technical sales personnel for selection and applicational details.
