and reliable system operation.
When installed on roller chain conveyors, ASCE rails enhance functionality and operational safety.
Durable mounting options: The wide base design of ASCE rails allows for welding to various conveyor frame designs.
Simple maintenance: The low-friction, hardened running surface of light rail sections minimizes roller wear and enables consistent, smooth movement.
Extreme load-bearing capacity: The tee-rail profile of railroad rail distributes weight across the vertical web and horizontal flanges, preventing warping even under extreme pressure.
Enhanced durability and longevity: ASCE 85 steel rail is crafted from high-carbon steel to endure years of continuous heavy loads. Their exceptional wear resistance extends equipment service life in the most demanding industrial environments.
The American Society of Civil Engineers established ASCE ratings for railroad rails as standardized specifications for rail dimensions and load capacities. These numerical designations (like ASCE 25, 60, and 85) indicate the weight per yard of the rail in pounds, directly correlating to its load-bearing capacity and structural strength. Higher ASCE numbers signify heavier rails capable of supporting greater loads.
Remove accumulated debris from rail surfaces so signs of wear are easy to see.
Regularly check rail joint bar connections to ensure they maintain proper alignment and spacing at expansion joints.
Inspect all mounting hardware, welds, and splice bars for signs of loosening or metal fatigue that could compromise rail fastening system integrity.
We recommend routine maintenance and inspection of your railroad rail reinforcements as part of your standard conveyor system care schedule. Check the following inspection points for reliable operation:
Your ASCE 85 rail will only perform in impact loading zones when properly installed. Our teams use the following techniques for long-term performance and essential site functionality.
Beyond ASCE 85, we also carry ASCE 25 and ASCE 60 rails for heavy-duty conveyors. The ASCE 25 rail supports the belt on heavy-duty roller chain conveyors. And our ASCE 60 rail supports the belt on extreme heavy-duty roller chain conveyors.
Contact Fluent Conveyors today to discuss how ASCE 60 railroad rails can enhance your roller chain conveyor system. Our engineering team can evaluate your current system and recommend the rail solutions for your application requirements.
Whether you're looking to increase load capacity, improve durability, or design a custom conveyor, we have the expertise and experience to improve your operation.
