ChainCon®
ChainCon® shows its strength where other chain belt conveyors reach their limits. Designed for demanding bulk materials and high loads, its robust construction reduces wear, protects the chain and ensures high plant availability even under harsh operating conditions.
-
Extremely robust
and durable- Impact loads are kept away from the chain and chain guide by design and transferred directly into the supports.
-
High level of
chain protection- Solid chain guides, plastic wear elements and the sealing system reduce contamination and wear.
-
Exceptionally easy to maintain
- Folding covers, easily accessible components and a fully replaceable chain guide simplify maintenance and overhauls.
-
Automatic chain lubrication
- An active pump, 30-litre tank and level warning support a longer chain service life without additional manual effort.
-
Modular and quickly available
- Thanks to the WeKea® system with standardised components, flexible configurations and customised options.

What makes ChainCon®
so special?
ChainCon® stands for robust, durable and maintenance-friendly conveying under demanding conditions. Its sophisticated design safely absorbs high loads, reduces wear on the chain and components and ensures easy access for maintenance. From force transfer and chain guidance to the sealing system, all components work together precisely – for reliable and economical plant operation.
Maximum robustness. No compromises.
Absorb impact loads where they occur.
Forces are transferred directly into the supports – not into the chain guide
No deformation of the chain guide – significantly reducing wear on the chain and guide
The centre crossbeam absorbs impact loads and transfers the forces directly into the supports
Solid hold-down devices secure the chain position and prevent the chain links from tilting
Westeria forged components ensure high rigidity and lasting structural stability
Robust chain-and-belt system with replaceable components
Solid chain-and-belt system
• Free access to the belt and chain for quick and easy replacement
• High chain breaking force for extreme mechanical loads during conveying
• Oil- and grease-resistant conveyor belt for reliable continuous operation
Replaceable chain guide
Effective sealing system
• Quickly adjustable side seal for reliable sealing of the conveying area
• Continuous T-cleat on the conveyor belt effectively keeps trickling material away from the chain
• Large clearance between seal and chain reduces material ingress and protects the chain against contamination
Maximum freedom in plant layout.
Flexible inclines and downward bends
Bend designs up to 60° reduce transfer points
Downward bend for horizontal or slightly descending material transfer
Integration without compromises
Precise pre-dosing thanks to the TumbleBack principle
In the transition to an incline, particularly high forces act on the chain belt conveyor. ChainCon® therefore reinforces this area specifically. The solid chain guide remains dimensionally stable even under high loads and prevents impact and lateral forces from being transferred to the chain in an uncontrolled manner. This keeps ChainCon® running smoothly and with low wear even in demanding steep conveying applications.
For conveying angles up to 60°, the TumbleBack version is used. Solid flame-cut components reliably absorb the loads and stabilise the chain guide even under extreme operating conditions. This reduces chain wear and supports high plant availability.
Flexibility taken further
The flexibility of ChainCon® continues consistently with PlateCon®. The robust plate conveyor adopts the design advantages of ChainCon® and extends them specifically for heavy, abrasive or demanding bulk materials. Solid plate segments ensure stable material conveying and high plant availability even under high loads.
The 8 mm thick plate segments are designed for particularly demanding applications. The sophisticated segment design reduces material jamming and enables individual elements to be replaced quickly. PlateCon® thus combines high load capacity with easy maintenance and durable conveying technology.
“Only equipment that is easy to maintain will be maintained regularly.”
Thought through to the last detail:
Easy access. Fast replacement
SmartLube® – automatic chain lubrication
• 30-litre oil tank with integrated level monitoring
• Audible warning when the oil level is low
• Optimised lubrication point directly at the chain links
• Precise lubricant metering through individually programmed time control
Easy access
Tensioning and drive station
• Folding side panels and covers that can be removed without tools
• Sprocket replaceable from the side or from above
• Quick access for maintenance and service
• Smooth, low-wear operation thanks to the optimised sprocket and stress-free bearing arrangement
