1. Presentation Pasteruizer Chain for Glass Bottles

2. Fortrex Pasteurizer chain

3. Fortrex Pasteurizer Chain

4. Fortrex Pasteurizer Chain
Breakthrough development for Tunnel pasteurizers
3 year development time
For High end application:
Long machines (Plan for 90 Meter long ongoing)
Heavy Loads
High % glass breakage
High reliability of the tunnel pasteurizer
Superior service cycle

5. Fortrex Applications
Products:
Glass Bottles
Glass Jars
Steel Cans

6. Chain Features
10 year life expected (needs to be approved and checked from case to case)
Stainless steel modular chain
No thermal elongation (same as pasteurizer construction)
Very little elastic elongation / catenary
High chemical resistance

7. Chain Features
Positrack guiding option suitable for DTS-C self clearing transfers

8. Chain Features
Positrack® Guiding System

9. Chain features
Rolling friction reduces chain load by 60%

10. Chain Parts and Assembly

11. Chain Properties Pitch 2.25” Link Thickness – 1.04”
Link Material – SS 304
Pin Material – 204Cu
Roller Material – Special Polyamid (Not water absorbing)
Rollers connected to link when pins are removed
Pin Keeper Construction – SS304 metal gate with SS rivets

12. Rod retention

13. Sprocket features Follows Rexnord drive design
allows elongation >3% Follows Rexnord
does not need a large catenary or tensioners
Wide tooth profile: low contact pressure
Idler drums/wheels preferred for return shaft

14. Idler design Option of static large diameter return ‘shaft’
The belt runs on the rollers
Minimum diameter 6¼”/159mm

15. Design information Carryway options: Return way options:

Chevron wearstrips (rollers in every bracket)
Positrack® guiding system
Return way options:
Flat bed with 1 catenary (2 rollers)
Rollers (stainless steel with roller or slide bearing)
Self cleaning guide shoe
with rolling friction

17. USP Material
What‘s new????

18. USP Material – What do we know?
Life of plastic belts in pasteurizers is getting shorter:
Legislation more tough (legionnaires disease in UK)
Chlorine levels chosen too high by end-user
No joint cooperation OEM ↔ Rexnord ↔ End user ↔ water treatment chemicals suppliers : results in wrong chemicals chosen

19. USP Material – What do we know?
Chemical degradation is identical to aging of plastics:
Analogy: UV-light ages plastic window frames
Happens to all plastics always: only the speed can be influenced
Many factors have an influence on the speed of the degradation:
Temperature
Type of chemicals used
Time of exposure
Concentration levels
Combination of chemicals
Load on the chain
and you can never control all of them

20. USP Material – What’s new???
