Key Considerations When Choosing a Power Cord

This white paper provides an overview of key considerations when choosing a power cord.

Flat Top Chain Magnetic Curves help convey products smoothly.

Flexon magnetic curves are plastic single- or multi-track guides that hold flat top chains while flexing around radius by acting upon chain pins with magnets placed around bend. Alignment of magnetic fluxes throughout tracks results in near pulsation-free running, reducing tension and noise in conveying products for beverage, food, and packaging industries. Offered in all standard sizes and for...
