Product Info Top chain
Top chain is a conveyor chain in which the top plate and chain section are integrated and connected by a joint pin.
There are Plastic top chain, which has plastic plates that prevent scratches on the transported objects, and Stainless Steel Top chain which has stainless steel plates that are highly corrosion-resistant and suitable for transporting heavy objects.
Our lineup also includes Snap top chain, which are steel chains with plastic plates attached, and accumulation chains, which have rollers built into the top plate.

Features of Plastic Top Chain and Stainless Steel Top chain
Prevents scratches on transported items
This conveyor chain is made by molding the chain and plastic plate, which prevents scratches on the transported items, into one piece and connecting them with joint pins.
The self-lubricating properties of the plastic mean that it can be used without oiling, helping to keep the work site clean.
It can be used in a wide range of applications, such as in environments where oil is undesirable and to prevent scratches on products, and is used in a wide range of industries.
We have a wide range of chain specifications (materials) available, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your usage environment.
Other Plastic top Chains
Snap Top Chain
- - It consists of a main chain and a top plate, and the legs of the top plate are snapped onto outer link of the main chain.
- - Large allowable tension makes it ideal for conveyors with large transport capacity (excluding SS Series and PC specifications)
- ・Only the top plate can be replaced
- ・A lineup of chain specifications suited to corrosion conditions
Plastic Universal Chain
- ・The small bending radius allows for effective use of narrow spaces
- ・The structure minimizes gaps between chain links, making it ideal for stable transport of transported items.
Gripper Chain
- - It consists of a main chain, top plate, and grip rubber, and the top plate and grip rubber are replaceable.
- - Grips the transported item from both sides, making it ideal for lifting and lowering the transported item.
- ・Grip rubber shape and material can be selected
Plastic Crescent Chain
- ・Ideal for horizontal circulation transport
- ・The gap between the chain links is constant, allowing for more stable transport of transported goods.
Accumulation Chain
- - Rolling of the rollers on the chain surface prevents scratches on transported items
- ・Ideal for reducing scratches on the bottom of transported items and line pressure in applications with accumulation
Plastic Roller Table
- ・Free-flow chain that can be directly loaded without a pallet
- ・The rolling of the rollers prevents scratches on the transported items.
- ・ Plastic Rollers are attached to the chain pitch line, so the spacing of Plastic Rollers does not change even when the chain is bent.
- For straight running
- For curved transport
