Rivetless Conveyor Chains
Rivetless conveyor chains are drop forged from carbon steel, normalised, heat treated and quenched. This very simple chain design allows for tool free assembly or disassembly at any pitch in the chain. The standard chain allows for general applications such as twin strand scraper conveying, whereas the X-Series is extensively used for overhead trolley conveyors.
- Heat-treated components & smooth bearing areas to extend service life
- Robust simple construction, maximum strength without excessive weight
- Ease of assembly & disassembly of chain

Features
Styles
Available in standard/original or X-style. Standard is used for general applications such as bulk conveying & the X-style is used for overhead trolley conveyors. The design allows both horizontal & vertical operation. Compatible with most global conveyor systems.
Size & Materials
Pitch sizes of 3, 4, 6 & 9" available for both standard/original or X-style types. Precise pitch control ensures consistency & reliability for automated systems. Available in drop-forged carbon steel, also stainless steel & other materials on request at time of order.
Wear Resistance
Drop forged from carbon steel, normalised, heat treated and quenched. Rivetless conveyor chains are manufactured for strength and heat treated for increased wear resistance, providing a longer service life. Smooth bearing pin surfaces reduces the break-in period.
No Tools Required
Rivetless conveyor chains require no tools for assembly. The chain is assembled by hand & consists for 3 main components: the side links, the centre links & chain pins. No bolts or rivets to deal with. Ideal chain for onsite installation or repairs.
Attachments
A range of attachments is available to suit the vast array of conveying applications. The most common attachments being: S & F2 type attachments, both with three different styles to choose from. Filler blocks are also available. Attachments available in malleable iron and/or cast steel.

Suppliers
Connector Links & Rivets
A comprehensive range of chain rivets, pins & connecting links to support our chain range & customer requirements.
Conveyor Chain Sprockets
Most semi-precision conveyor chains only require sprockets that have a flame cut profile. Supply Services Ltd will generally cut the profile to carefully match the chain, attachments and application it is being used for. Common materials are mild steel, Hardox 400 abrasion resistant steel or induction hardened C1045.
Machined & Fabricated Parts
We manufacture a wide variety of custom parts from steel or engineering plastics for our customers. Nationwide CAD design and CNC machining services. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Drop Forged Conveyor Chains
Drop Forged Conveyor Chains are also known as En-Masse chains: versatile and simple chains with high strength and high wear resistance. Capable of conveying a multitude of products on inclines up to vertical and at temperatures of up to 1000 °C (depending on the chain alloy selected). The conveyor design can be totally enclosed and very compact. Available pitches are 102mm, 142mm and 260mm.
Metric Conveyor Chains
Metric conveyor chains are made according to 3 different European styles: DIN8167, DIN 8165 and SMS 1698. They are multi-purpose straight side bar conveyor chains useful for a multitude of applications. Pitches vary from 40mm to 500mm and ultimate tensile strengths from 40kN to 900kN.
Long Link Conveyor Chains
Long link conveyor chains in imperial & metric configurations available in a range of pitch sizes. Round, oval & square link to suit different applications. Available in alloy steels, manganese, with through or case hardened options. High hardness, reduced elongation, resistant to shock loading.
