For steel and plastic sideflexing chains Rexnord offers the corresponding curve profiles. Without a doubt Magnetflex® is worldwide seen as the superior curve system. The programme also includes curves and straight tracks for Bevel and TAB chains.
Magnetflex® System
The MCC Magnetflex system has become the worldwide standard in the beverage industry. The great advantages of this system have made it the choice of the worlds leading OEMs. It is a Combi system for both plastic and steel chains. Magnets underneath the track hold the chain down in a
reliable way. Magnetflex is the only system where two magnets cover almost the complete base of the curve instead of just the track. Because the magnets are connected by a steel plate, a very broad magnetic field is being formed.
Unlike other magnetic curves this results in a force that keeps down plastic chains with steel pins just as well as steel chains. Another advantage is that this magnet position only has a slight reduction in hold-down force when the chain is being lifted, in case of pollution or broken glass, without jumping from the track. Where in other systems the chains can block and jam in the curve profile due to pollution, in the Magnetflex system the chain simply lifts slightly and keeps on running. The magnets are placed in the curve at fixed angles instead of at fixed distances to make sure that no pulsation effect is being created by the magnets, when a chain is being pulled through the curve.
The magnets make sure that all chains lie perfectly flat in the curve without tilting. In other systems the chain tension is causing the chain to use up the play in the chain guidance, causing chain edges to lift. Especially in multiple-strand curves and with high-speed conveying this means product toppling.
Another big advantage of the Magnetflex® system is the easy installation of the chains and the perfect cleanability of the system. This is due to the open and rectangular track in the curve. The chains can easily be installed from above as if the curve was a straight part of the conveyor. Also the chains can easily be
lifted from the track for maintenance and cleaning, without breaking the chain or even removing it from the conveyor construction.
Magnetflex® curves can be installed in the conveyor frame in different ways. The upper and return part can be supplied bolted together and with inserts to mount the assembled curve into the conveyor frame. The option most often used in multiple track curves is to deliver the upper and return part separately. They are then mounted against a conveyor crossbar. In this case both upper part and return part are equipped with inserts and/or holes. In both build-in options
the hole and inserts can be standard or customer specific.
Most Magnetflex® curves are equipped with a return guide shoe. This machined shoe is meant to bring the chain at the right level to enter the return part of
the curve. The position of the return guide shoe is determined by the design of the return part (level or staggered) and by the chain type. A staggered design is used when the pitch between the tracks is too small to allow the chains to run at the same level in the return. In that case two levels of tracks are made in the return part: one level in which the uneven tracks (1, 3, 5 etc.) run and one in which the even tracks run. The height of a staggered return part (usually 63 mm) is always higher than that of a non-staggered return (usually 55 mm).

A special execution of a Magnetflex
curve is a CIP (Cleaning in Place) curve, equipped with spraying nozzles and tubes. It is opened up as much as possible to allow
good cleaning of the steel or plastic chain and curve profile from the inside of the curve. The CIP curve can be integrated in an existing CIP system.
Magnetflex® curves are available in five different materials. The standard material, Combi-A, is a high grade of polyethylene. It is suitable for most lubricated applications with steel and plastic chains. In clean environment and with low chain speeds Combi-A can also be used in dry running applications. For dry running applications with plastic TableTop chains Combi-L and Combi-S are recommended. These materials are able to work with higher chain speeds. Combi-S has the largest application field, where Combi-L offers better noise reduction. Rexnords calculation program determines the PV (pressure-velocity) load on the curve in a specific application and will advise in which application load and speed require Combi-L or Combi-S curves. For lubricated, abrasive applications (filler discharge) or abrasive, dry run- ning applications (glassworks) with (stainless) steel chains, Combi-G is most suitable. This ceramic reinforced polyethylene offers an extremely good wear resistance. New Generation Combi-X curves can be applied in high speed (dry running) applications.
Industry applications
For the most demanding bottling and container applications, there is no substitute for the performance and productivity of Rexnord TableTop and MatTop Chains. Since 1938, with the ground-breaking 815 TableTop stainless steel straight-running chain, Rexnord has pioneered innovation in beverage and food conveying that has inspired loyalty and driven specification for Rexnord conveyor chains from customers around the globe.
Line efficiency
Smooth container flow at high speeds is essential to increase line efficiency and preventing product damage. Especially when moving from multiple to single lanes or the reverse, the gentle slide of bottles across ultra-flat, highly polished stainless steel Rexnord chain can contribute significantly to the quality and efficiency of your beverage production line.
Applications in beverage
Rexnord products cover a wide variety of applications like: general conveying of glass bottles one-way and return, PET bottles and other plastic containers, jars, cans 2- and 3-piece, crates, plastic containers, boxes, shrink-wrapped packages.

Pack and case conveying that offers flexibility of line configurations and total system cost efficiencies can significantly improve productivity at the dry end of filling lines. At the same time, brand extensions, innovative packaging, and light weight packaging materials are driving more demanding performance in pack and case handling. Cases and packs must be protected from damage even as they move rapidly out of case packers and shrink wrap machines and into, around, and out of curves.
That’s why Rexnord’s case and package handling conveying chains come in our modular small pitch, lightduty 15mm 1500 Series to medium duty 25.4mm pitch 1000 Series to the heavy-duty 1 in pitch 1005 Series in both versions for general conveying and in Super Grip / RubberTop™ versions for metering, incline, decline and braking applications. Furthermore the programm includes a comprehensive portfolio of Sideflexing MatTop chains like the versatile 1200-series MatTop. For accumulating conveyor the LBP (Low Backline Pressure) chains offers a solution to a large variety of applications.
With the Rexnord original Heavy Duty TableTop chains for packaging conveying, no other company provides the breadth of conveying solutions for your case and package handling requirements.
Rexnord products are known for their reliable performance in though conditions and challenging applications due to their robustness in design and drive technology. In container making therefore Rexnord products are often the preferred choice for applications like vacuum elevators, high speed (magnetic) conveyors, UV applications, high temperature applications and inspection conveyors.
Rexnord Material innovation
On top Rexnord offers the most comprehensive material portfolio in the market to meet an extensive variety of application requirements. Several applications in glassworks and container making lines combine an abrasive environment with the need for smooth container handling. Often these applications can not be easily lubricated to neutralize the effect of the hard abrasive particles in the environment. Therefore specialized materials can be part of a custom made solution. This is why, besides several proven specialized high performance materials like WX, HP and PS, Rexnords material portfolio is now completed with DKA aramid reinforced material.
