HEKO scraper bar attachments
■ The right solution for every
application
■ Several options to suit indivi-
dual requirements
■ Tempered and case hardened
■ Finish self-colour, galvanised
or other surface finishes
HEKO offers a wide spectrum of
cost effective and safe scraper bar
attachments. HEKO's attachments
are suitable for single or multi-strand
conveyors.
Heat treatment of the attachments
is tailored to suit individual require-
ments. We recommend the use of
tempered HEKO qualities for high
strength requirements, and case
hardened HEKO qualities for wear
resistant requirements. The conveyor
chains can be supplied as individual
components are pre-assembled to
form an endless chain.
Generally there are two categories of
attachments, those which connect
the chain links and those which are
inserted into the chain strands.
We will be pleased to assist you in
selecting the optimum attachment
for your application.

3.3 Chain shackle type TS and DIN 5699

HEKO shackles are fastened to the
scraper bar by two nuts and a
securing element. Shackle and
scraper bar form a stable, simple
form of connection. A wide range of
sizes and qualities is available to suit
most applications.
We recommend our shackle type TS TS-shackles can be used with wheels
for higher demands as the lip on the having projecting teeth and pocket
distance plate provides support on teeth. Plain wheels can be used as
the wheel rim. return idlers.
In addition the TS-shackle permits
a much higher breaking load
compared to the DIN-shackle.
