Precision Engineering, Reliable Solutions
From detailing and customized design to emergency repairs and long-term maintenance, Klockner Group delivers engineering solutions for maximum uptime.
Floor Chain Conveyors
From the smallest spare parts to complete rebuilds, Klockner Group can supply all components required to repair or rebuild any roll-handling conveyor. Our proprietary parts come from the top US manufacturer, ensuring the highest quality. Our sprockets are US-manufactured from hardened steel (1045 up to T1 and AR500) to suit the application. We shelf stock most rotating components and chain parts for manufacturers to minimize your downtime.
We detail and customize design for floor chain conveyors used in pulp & paper, corrugated, tissue, and converting plants. Typical scopes include chain and rail replacements, wear strip upgrades, shaft and bearing changeouts, and alignment checks to reduce tracking issues and extend chain life.
- Roll-handling conveyor rebuilds, line extensions, and transfers
- New chains, matched sprockets, wear bars, and guides
- On-site surveys and engineered improvements for uptime
- Integration with drives, guards, and safety interlocks
