In conveyor and material handling systems, the gentle yet firm handling of individual goods is often a critical challenge. That’s where pusher dog chains from Wippermann come into play – offering a positive‑locking, accurate transport solution.
🚀 What makes our pusher dog chains stand out: – The pusher dog is a multi‑part linkage that can be attached at any point along the chain strand, enabling flexible positioning. – During transport, the dog remains upright and “pushes” the item in front of it with a positive grip. – Around sprockets, the pusher dog submerges downward to avoid contact with the goods, preserving exact positioning without damaging sensitive products. – Thanks to this kinematic behavior, engineers benefit from smooth handoff to subsequent conveyor stages and optimized transitions.
🔧 We also supply custom designs: single‑arm pushers and stainless steel versions for challenging environments.
📈 Why this matters for you: – Precise handling of sensitive or individual goods – Reduced risk of damage during transport – Smooth transfers between conveyor segments – Adaptability to specific layouts or constraints
