Depending on the application, the Navis PlanaTex brand will recommend different chain and rail configurations.

A. X-3000 - The Navis PlanaTex X-3000 Horizontal Tenter Rail and Clip incorporate a center-pull, monorail design. Fabric pull load and speed are increased, while reducing maintenance.

Other features include:

  • Higher Pull Capacity than other manufacturers
  • Higher Speed than others, in excess of 300 yard/min (275 m/m) have been achieved in normal operation
  • Continuous Monorail System on Tenter Rail
  • Bearings pull against monorail and are not part of transport chain, eliminating impact of turnaround sprockets
  • Durable stainless steel jaw insert and cloth plate are perfectly matched by a proprietary machining process insuring long life between repairs
  • Increased area behind jaw facilitates easier clipping
  • State-of-the-art self-lubricating transport chain bushing reduces maintenance requirements
  • The ball bearings can be re-lubricated when necessary without removing the chain from the rail
  • Long-life carbon graphite surface supports weight of chain and clips

B. TM-2000 - The Navis PlanaTex TM-2000 Horizontal Chain and Rail Assembly is a roller chain with pre-lubricated ball bearings. Designed for a nominal 8,000 hour mean time relubrication. The TM-2000 has a Precision, Die-Cast Aluminum top. The TM-2000 two piece chain is designed for speeds up to 200 yards/min. (180 m/m). A Proprietary Machining process is used to assure an even and long-life clip surface. Chain design allows for Clip, Pin, and Clip/Pin Combinations.

The Rail is fabricated steel with hardened steel wear plates and graphite wear surfaces.

C. TM-300 - The Navis PlanaTex TM-300 Horizontal Chain and Rail Assembly is continuously lubricated. The TM-300 has a Precision, Die-Cast Aluminum top. The TM-300 two piece chain is designed for speeds up to 200 yards/min. (180 m/m). A Proprietary Machining process is used to assure an even and long-life clip surface. Chain design allows for Clip, Pin, and Clip/Pin Combinations.

The Rail is fabricated steel with Ampco wear surfaces.

D. #44 - The Navis PlanaTex No. 44 Horizontal Chain and Rail Assembly is continuously lubricated. The No. 44 is designed for speeds up to 150 yards/min. (140 m/m). Chain design allows for Clip or Pin.

The Rail is fabricated steel with Ampco wear surfaces.

E. Mercerizing Tenter - The Navis PlanaTex No.48 Mercerizer Horizontal Chain and Rail Assembly is continuously lubricated and designed for the heavy pulls associated with mercerizing. The self-lubricating chain bushing reduces maintenance. The chain is lubricated by the caustic solution. The No.48 Mercerizer, a two-piece chain, is designed for speeds up to 150 yards/min. (140 m/m). Chain is designed for Clip.

The Rail is a steel with hardened wear surfaces.
