conveyor wear parts · UHMWPE CHAIN GUIDE RAILS (T / CT / CK SERIES)

UHMWPE Chain Guide Rails (T / CT / CK Series)

Our chain guide range covers the three families used across packaging, food, automotive and bulk-handling chain conveyors. T-Series is the classic flat-top with chain pocket. CT-Series adds a side-guidance wall for higher cornering loads. CK-Series uses a UHMWPE wear face on an aluminium back rail so the wear face can be replaced in the field without taking the entire guide assembly off. We hold 127 SKU profiles in CAD; 65 are already published with downloadable DXF on our engineering-plastics sister site — see the cross-link below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a profile catalog I can send to my engineer?

Yes — 65 chain-guide profiles are live with downloadable DXF on jslt-engplastics.com/chain-guides/. The remaining 62 (CK and CKG composite series) are being published progressively. If you don't see the profile you need, send your existing chain-guide drawing and we'll match or create the tooling within 35 days.

Can you co-extrude the green color through the full thickness?

Yes — green master batch is mixed at the resin stage so the UV-stabilized green color goes through the full guide thickness, not just surface. As the guide wears, you don't see a different color underneath.

MOQ for a custom CT profile that needs new tooling?

200 m total (combined any colors / lengths) once the tooling is amortized. Tooling lead time 35 days, then standard 18 days for production. After the first run, MOQ drops to 10 m for repeat orders.

Are your guides FDA / EU food-contact compliant?

Standard guides are industrial. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 / EU 10/2011 compliant grade is available — please specify food-contact in the inquiry and we'll quote the food-grade resin.
