Selection table and design data for twisterchain guide troughs

New generation twisterchain guide troughs

Save installation time, costs - increase service life

With the type 01 Twister trough, complex adjustment work is kept to a minimum, reducing assembly time 6 hours to 2 hours. It also reduces noise, whilst travel speed and service life can be increased, thanks to its nearly all-plastic design. Available for all twisterchains from the new and original product range.
  • Suitable for high dynamics thanks to full guidance of the upper run
  • Much smoother and quieter motion of the twisterchain in the trough due to continuous guidance of upper run
  • Upper run guided in the plastic trough and supported over the full length
  • Fully harnessed delivery possible
  • Easy adjustment, alignment and handling
  • Assembly time reduced from 6 hours to 2 hours
