Functions and Benefits of Rubber Glove Conveying Roller Chains
High temperature resistance: Glove dipping lines require multiple ovens to dry and cure the latex/nitrile coating. These chains are designed to operate continuously in high temperature zones (often up to 180°C / 350°F or higher) without deformation, loss of strength, or rapid aging. To ensure smooth operation under these conditions, specialized lubricants or bearing designs (such as high-temperature greases or ceramic bearings) are often used.
Chemical resistance: During the dipping, leaching, and washing stages, the chains are exposed to a variety of chemicals, including latex/nitrile compounds, coagulants, leachates, and detergents. Chain materials (usually special alloys or treated steels) are carefully selected to resist corrosion and degradation from these chemicals.
Smooth and consistent motion: Precise and smooth motion of the chain is essential to maintaining quality glove production. Jerky motion can cause uneven dipping, defects, and even damage to delicate molds. Bearings are often incorporated into the chain design to ensure smooth operation.
Durability and wear resistance: Given the long and continuous nature of glove production lines (which can be over a kilometer in length) and the constant movement between different areas, these chains must be extremely durable and wear-resistant to ensure a long service life and minimize downtime.
Containment of molds: The chains are designed to securely hold and transport ceramic molds. This typically involves specific attachments or "mold holders" integrated into or on the chain links to ensure that the molds remain stable and correctly positioned throughout the process.
Fatigue resistance: These chains operate continuously under load and experience multiple temperature cycles and must have high fatigue resistance to prevent premature failure.
Increased production efficiency: By ensuring continuous, smooth, and reliable conveying of glove molds, these chains directly contribute to the high-volume, efficient, and economical production of rubber gloves.
Applications of Rubber Glove Conveyor Roller Chains
Dipping lines: The core application is an automated conveying system that transports porcelain or ceramic glove molds to various dipping tanks (e.g., coagulant, latex/nitrile compound, leaching agent).
Drying and Curing Oven: After dipping, chains transport glove molds to large ovens where the glove material is dried and cured.
Washing and Leaching Station: Glove molds are transported to dipping tanks to leach excess chemicals from the gloves.
Hemming and Demolding Section: Glove molds are transported to the section where the edges of the gloves are hemmed and the finished gloves are demolded from the mold.
Mold Cleaning and Preparation: In the system, molds need to be cleaned and prepared for the next dipping cycle.
