Part Code: RS40-1B-10T
Part Name: Simplex Sprocket for Glass Conveyor
Part Name: Simplex Sprocket for Glass Conveyor
Part Code: RS40-1B-10T
Usage: This sprocket is used in glass manufacturing conveyors for transporting glass panels.
Application of Glass Conveyor Sprocket
Engineered for Smooth Glass Handling:
Purpose-built for glass manufacturing conveyor lines, this sprocket ensures controlled, gentle movement of glass panels through production stages such as cutting, washing, tempering, inspection, and final assembly.
Optimized for Fragile Material Transfer:
Its low-vibration motion and stable chain engagement make it ideal for transporting delicate auto glass and architectural glass panels without scratches, stress marks, or micro-cracks.
Adopted Across Modern Glass Plants:
Widely used in facilities like Asahi India Glass, Saint-Gobain, Gold Plus Glass, AIS, and by system integrators who develop automated glass conveying and processing solutions.
Summary
A precision-engineered sprocket designed for glass conveyor systems, delivering smooth, gentle handling and reliable performance for automotive and architectural glass manufacturing environments.
