Aluminium Can Filler Chain Guide Upgrade — CT-K Profile

Application

An aluminium can filler running a Sidel-style slat-chain conveyor was getting cans tipping at the upstream side of accumulation tables because the side guidance on the existing flat chain guide was insufficient when the conveyor backed up.

Solution Spec

• Profile: CT-K — chain pocket plus 18 mm side guidance wall
• Material: UHMWPE GUR1020 virgin, white
• Cross Section: 32 × 18 mm
• Length: 3 m bars, 28 bars per first order
• Compatible Chain: ISO 12B roller chain
• Mounting: M6 countersunk, 150 mm centers

Why CT-K Over Standard T-A

The T-A flat-top profile is fine for non-accumulating chain conveyors. As soon as the conveyor accumulates (cans push against each other when downstream stops), the side load goes up and you need a guidance wall or you tip cans. CT-K delivers that wall without retooling the conveyor frame — the wall is part of the polymer guide, not the steel structure.
