STATE PATENT PRODUCT

The Chain Text Conveyor Belt is a registered state patent product — engineered and exclusively manufactured by Alumax International for large-tonnage extrusion press applications.

Belt Configurations

Two Teeth Spacing Options

12.7mm Pitch
🌡 480°C–280°C · Standard Drive
Teeth Space: 12.7mm · Min. Inner Arc: 300mm
Standard pitch for most large-tonnage aluminium extrusion presses. Suited for 2500T–6000T press configurations with standard drive sprockets.
15.87mm Pitch
🌡 480°C–280°C · Heavy Duty Drive
Teeth Space: 15.87mm · Min. Inner Arc: 330mm
Larger pitch for very heavy 6000T–10000T press applications. Greater tooth engagement for maximum pull force and slip-free operation.

Applications

Where the Chain Belt Is Used

🏗️

Large Tonnage Presses (2500T–10000T)

Specifically engineered for the heaviest aluminium extrusion presses where conventional belts fail to provide adequate pull force.

🔥

High Temperature Run-Out

Rated to 480°C — handles the extreme temperature zone immediately after large-tonnage press exits with no performance degradation.

🚫

Anti-Slip Critical Applications

Chain tooth engagement eliminates the belt slipping problem common in conventional conveyor systems on high-tonnage lines.

🎯

Smooth Profile Delivery

Positive drive ensures profiles are delivered at a consistent, controlled speed — critical for accurate cut-to-length and minimal end waste.

Key Features

Why the Chain Belt Outperforms Conventional Belts

⛓️
Strong Pull — No Slipping

Chain tooth engagement with the drive sprocket provides positive, slip-free drive — solving the most common failure mode of conventional felt belts on large presses.

🔥
480°C Rated

Felt surface on the chain belt withstands temperatures up to 480°C — one of the highest ratings available for extrusion conveyor products.

🏅
State Patent Technology

Proprietary design protected by state patent — not available from other manufacturers. Guarantees authentic Alumax engineering and quality.

📐
Custom Felt Surface (5mm)

Felt surface effective range of 5mm can be customised to customer specifications for optimal profile protection.
