CIRRUS 100
Cirrus 100 is identified by a unique zinc-plated 1-7/8 inch diameter tubular track. The conveyor chain can carry up to 50 pounds on a single load bearing. Load pendants, located on 6-inch centers, are integral with the vertical load chain links. A single caterpillar drive will handle up to 600 pounds of chain pull. If you have a tubular track system, be sure to call Cirrus for incredible savings on replacement chain!
Enclosed Track Conveyors
Enclosed Track conveyor systems are commonplace in manufacturing, materials processing and warehousing operations. Unlike their heavy-duty I-beam conveyor sibling, enclosed track systems utilize a chain that consists of vertical and horizontal guide bearings with steel side links. The chain assembly travels within a slotted, formed steel track. Typical track components include straight sections and horizontal and vertical curve sections. Depending on the particular style of system, product load centers vary from 6-inch centers to 8-inch centers and any combination thereof. Single point loads are typically from 50 to 75 pounds. Hanging from load bars over multiple chain pendants allow for heavier loads. All enclosed track systems can use multiple drives to move greater combined loads.
CIRRUS 150 & 200 Series
Cirrus 150 and 200 systems are recognised by a 1-1/2 inch pitch and 2-inch pitch chain respectively, that hangs below the conveyor track. Load bearing trolleys come with clevis attachments and are mounted on 6-inch multiples. Maximum chain pull capacity is 400 pounds. Because the conveyor chain is not contained within the track, sprockets known as traction wheels guide the chain around horizontal curves.
ClRRUS 800
Cirrus 800 uses a 2-13/16 inch by 2-11/16 inch rectangular track. The chain assembly consists of vertical and horizontal bearings providing 8-inch multiple hanging centers at a maximum single point load of 75 pounds. Maximum chain pull is 600 pounds.
ClRRUS FastTrack
Cirrus FastTrack systems are recognised by their thick, rectangular track. The chain assembly consists of vertical and horizontal bearings providing 6-inch multiple hanging centers at a maximum single point load of 75 pounds. This heavy-duty system is capable of 750 pounds chain pull.
