Standard Chain Types

	PLN chain: The WhisperTrax HO-PLN horizontal offset conveyor with plain chain is ideal for transporting packaged items around a curving layout. The tight knit of the chain lattice provides a smooth base for large or small products and offers the tightest turning radius in the industry. The chain can support products as small as 1 inch (25.4mm).

	MSG chain: The WhisperTrax HO-MSG horizontal offset conveyor features 75mm left and right guides molded into the side links. These “Moving Side Guides” provide positive retention of products during transportation. This chain style is often indicated where the product to be moved might get tangled in conventional guide rails.

	RAS chain: The WhisperTrax HO-RAS horizontal offset conveyor with raised chain can transfer products as small as 1.5 inches (38.1mm) in diameter, when used with a finger transfer. Raised top chain can also be used to reduce the area of contact between chain and product, increasing airflow.
