Pin Oven Chains
iwis offers a high-performance, long-lasting solution for the safe conveying of cans and thin-walled hollow containers. By combining high wear resistance, adaptable components and process-optimised design features, reliable systems are created for every 2-piece can application — especially in demanding industries such as metal can production.
The chains are specifically designed for challenging production environments with high speeds and temperatures. High-performance protective heads and individually adjustable transport pin lengths ensure maximum process reliability. Defined breaking points minimise collision damage, while a specially developed lubrication ensures clean, drip-free operation. Reliable, long-lasting and extremely wear-resistant.
The transport pins are easy to change without breaking the chain or removing it from the machine. There are two fixture versions to choose from (pins integrated in the outer chain plates, pins fixed using special nuts and split-pin fixture).
Users can also choose between two transport pin versions: flexible or snap-off. The flexible version can be bent back to its original position easily and by hand following an accidental impact resulting from a conveyor jam, for example. The advantage of the snap-off pin is that it will separate from the chain in the event of an accidental contact or impact during operation.
Two pin versions to cover all requirements
Bendable pin
These pins are manufactured to be tough yet bendable enough to withstand inadvertent impact during conveyor jams or accidental contact with the machine frame. These pins are easy to bend back into their original position by hand.
SnapOff pin
The material specification of these pins cause them to break off in the event of any accidental contact or impact during operation. The advantage for you: the hardness of the transport pin material is similar to that of the pins of the base chain, so the wear rate of both sets of pins is the same.
Highlights
- iwis precision roller chains are long-lasting, reliable and particularly wear-resistant.
- iwis can conveyor chains are initially lubricated with our special IPP lubrication for can manufacturing applications.
- Standard protective cap:
- High-performance material (PEEK), highly temperature-resistant (up to at least 260 °C, depending on the application).
- Transport pins
- Pin lengths can be customized according to your specifications.
- Easy to replace.
- Can be installed at defined intervals (e.g., on every 7th pin).
- iwis offers two fixing solutions for transport pins:
- POChain-I: Pins are integrated into the outer plates
- POChain-P: Cotter pin fixing
- Temperature range: 0 °C to +260 °C

Pin Oven Chains – a world of variety
iwis pin oven chains are based on JWIS precision roller chains with SL pins, so they are particularly durable, reliable and wear-resistant. The lubricant IPP was specially developed for the can-making industry and is ideal for the high temperatures involved. The length of the transport pins can be adapted to suit the requirements of individual applications. Three different fixture types ensure ideal conditions for all kinds of requirements. For example, predetermined breaking points prevent collisions during the passage of cans through the plant, and a quick-change system enables fast, easy replacement of pins without breaking the chain or removing it from the machine.
Protection heads in a variety of different materials and with different geometries ensure particularly gentle handling of the cans on the conveyor. Pin oven chains are particularly wear-resistant high-performance chains; they also feature specially adapted transport pins and high-quality protective heads – the right solution for every 2-piece can application!
