For transverse transports the individual production lines are connected to each other, i.e. the medium is taken from one production line, moved across and fed to another line.

Transverse conveyors are commonly used in various areas of automotive production and connect individual production processes.

The interaction of these production steps and thus the operational and occupational safety of the system is guaranteed by our products.

Car bodies travel through several different production steps in an automotive plant such as grinding, pain- ting and drying. Usually the car bodies are moved lengthwise with skids or support frames. Depending on the requirements of the respective process, KettenWulf has developed special technologies such as:

• Chains provided with prism-shaped supports for ideal contact
• Chains with anti-stick coating
• Chains with welded support plates
• Lubrication-free chains
• Chains for operating temperatures up to 250°C

During prime coat application raw bodies from body construction are cleaned prior to coating. This takes place in a pretreatment zone through immersion in various consecutive baths. 

The first coating is done using cataphoretic dip painting.

From a chain technology perspective, there are two conveyor systems for these processes

• Rotary conveyor
• Pendulum conveyor

For this conveying technology KettenWulf supplies the most varied chains, tailored to the respective requirements of the conveying systems.

Slat conveyors are used to transport car bodies or vehicles on a skit through various production sections. To this end heavy duty and low maintenance transport chains are used. Slat conveyors are used e.g. in the following areas:

• Grinding in body construction
• Final assembly
• Finish and filling
• Leak test
• Preservation

At this point during the manufacturing process lubrication-free chains are mainly used which of

Sprockets are a decisive factor for the performance and service life of any chain system. KettenWulf therefore relies on manufacturing its own sprockets to guarantee the quality of all products, and our product range includes sprockets in all DIN/ISO/ANSI tooth systems as well as customized solutions with optimum tooth shapes and sprocket sizes.
