ABSTRACT
Overhead chain conveyors offer advantages not found in traditional roller or belt conveyors. Overhead chain conveyors leave valuable floor space free. Also, many of the products that can be handled by an overhead chain system would be considered non-conveyable on a traditional conveyor. The three types of overhead chain conveyors are free, power, and power and free (P&F). The names refer to how the carriers on the conveyors are moved. Also, inverted power and free are covered.
