Cirrus Enclosed Track Conveyors
Enclosed track conveyor systems are commonplace in manufacturing, materials processing and warehousing operations.
Unlike their heavy-duty I-beam conveyor siblings, 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, horizontal and vertical curve sections, chain installation gates and expansion track sections.
Depending on the particular style of system, product load centres vary from 6 to 8-inch centres and any combination thereof. Single point loads are typically from 50 to 125 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 provides parts and complete systems for all common enclosed track conveyors. See the selection below.

Cirrus 100 Series is identified by a unique zinc-plated 1-7/8 inch diameter tubular track. The conveyor chain can carry up to 50 pounds (23 kg) on a single load bearing. Load pendants, located on 6-inch centres, are integral with the vertical load chain links. A single caterpillar drive will handle up to 600 pounds (272 kg) of chain pull.
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 centres with a maximum single point load of 125 pounds (57 kg). Heavier loads can be carried by suspending between two load bearings with a load bar attachment. Maximum chain pull for a single drive is 750 pounds (341 kg).
Cirrus FastTrack systems are recognized by their thick, rectangular track. The chain assembly consists of vertical and horizontal bearings providing 6-inch multiple hanging centres at a maximum single point load of 75 pounds (34 kg). Heavier loads can be carried by suspending between two load bearings with a load bar attachment.This heavy-duty enclosed track system is capable of 750 pounds (341 kg) chain pull.
