Profile: Midland Handling Equipment Ltd. specializes in producing conveyors and handling equipment. Our overhead conveyor systems are used in numerous applications from shop displays, assembly lines, to paint finishing plants. Belt, slat, power & roller conveyors are ideal for warehouse logistics, storage solutions and recycling. Trakmaster 152 is fully bi-planer and assembled in our works from hardened steel side links, rivets and hardened ball bearing wheels. The chain is immersed in protective lubricant after assembly, and has a breaking strain of 3000 lbs (1340 kg), safe load of 30 lbs 13.4 kg per pendant at 6 inches (152 mm), and pitch of 60 lbs (26.8 kg) with coupled pendant. Plate link conveyors are normally used in arduous applications to move bulk items like waste material, swarf and scrap metal. The belt is constructed from heavy duty steel links connected by steel rods. This makes the belt strong but flexible. The links are fixed to conveyor chains on either side that run in steel guides over sprockets at each end. The length of the conveyor and width of the plate link belt is variable depending on the product being carried. The conveyor can be level or inclined to feed material into hoppers or skips.
