MatTop chain on this kind of conveyor is the 2-inch pitch food grade execution, like the Rexnord 2010 series. Rexnord is introducing a new type of side rail, the Integrated SideRail. This is a side rail that retains product, travels with the chain and is an integral part of the chain design.
CURRENT SYSTEMS 1.2 WHY CHANGE? In processing lines currently several system are being used in combination with 2- inch pitch food grade Modular belting/MatTop chains: Flighted chains with static side guides Flighted chains with conventional sidegaurds (Loose ele ments to the chain) Fligthed chains in combination with Integrated (or Molded-In) side-gaurds Although the functionality of all these systems should be the same;...

CURRENT SYSTEMS • Cleaning of the inclined conveyor is often not easy because of their height. The chain rotates and passes the lowest point in the conveyor and therefore can be cleaned. However, the static guides at the top of the conveyor cannot be reached easily.

CURRENT SYSTEMS • The conventional sideguards are available up to 4-inch high and therefore can not be combined with 6-inch tall pusher fl ight, limiting the capacity of the inclined conveyor. • However, because the sideguards located in an angled overlapped position they cannot be properly reached for cleaning and large surface areas remain unexposed.
REXNORD INTEGRATED SIDERAIL Integrated Side Rail (ISR) Based on feedback from the market Rexnord has designed the new Integrated SideRail to address the defi ciencies of most conventional systems. The system consists of 2 integrated staggered blades per end module that interact together when the chain operates;...
fl avouring. NEW SYSTEMS Obviously the Rexnord 2010 ISR system can be used on new equipment as well. In this case you will experience the easy and simple conveyor design needed for the 2010 ISR. Details about new conveyor design can be found in our engineering manual, section inclined conveyors.

• If the current chain is not a Rexnord 2010-series chain, the drive sprockets need to be changed. If sprockets are being used on the idler shaft, these need to be replaced as well. Discs (or other systems not interacting with the chain...
