Cable Carrier copes with dirty, harsh environments.
System E4/4 Energy Chain® family has contoured side links that seal out dirt, ice, snow, and other debris, preventing binding in outdoor or gritty situations. Applications include limestone conveyor belts, stone-cutting machinery, concrete plants, and steel mill equipment. Side links create overlapping grip which increases stability of carrier so it can handle greater side loads and still run...
