Understanding F801 (MCC-30) Conveyor Chains for LPG Cylinder Transport
In the LPG industry, conveyor systems operate under demanding conditions—heavy loads, continuous operation, frequent impacts from steel cylinders, and constant start–stop cycles. Whether in filling stations, testing lines, painting shops, or logistics areas, the conveyor chain is one of the most critical elements for ensuring stable production.
Industry research shows:
👉 The F801 chain is the same as the MCC-30 chain. They are identical in structure and performance, only different in name.
This heavy-duty cast chain is widely used as the standard chain for LPG cylinder handling systems worldwide.
CamelConvey supplies F801/MCC-30 chains, CC600 chains, and a full range of conveyor components, delivering reliable solutions for LPG cylinder production and industrial conveying systems.
What Is the MCC-30 (F801) Conveyor Chain?
The MCC-30 / F801 chain is a heavy-duty cast conveyor chain engineered for harsh, high-impact environments. It has become the preferred choice in LPG filling plants globally.
1. Cast Alloy Construction
Each link is manufactured from high-strength cast alloy steel, providing:
● Excellent crack resistance
● Uniform internal structure
● Outstanding impact absorption
2. High Load Capacity
Typical working load: 2800–3500 kgf, depending on material and manufacturing process.
This makes it ideal for transporting full LPG cylinders and absorbing repetitive shock loads.
3. Designed for Tough Industrial Conditions
The chain performs reliably in:
● Dusty environments
● Humid or oily areas
● Frequent stop-and-start operations
Why F801 (MCC-30) Is the Best Choice for LPG Cylinder Conveyors
1. Exceptional Impact Resistance
When cylinders enter the conveyor, heavy shock loads are common.
The F801 chain absorbs impact energy effectively, reducing:
● Link cracking
● Pin bending
● Rapid pitch elongation
2. High Wear Resistance
Suitable for 24/7 operations, the chain withstands:
● Heavy friction
● Continuous sliding
● Repeated contact with steel cylinders
This ensures long service life and minimizes downtime.
3. Fully Compatible with Industry Standards
The F801 / MCC-30 chain matches most LPG cylinder production line specifications, offering:
● Easy replacement in existing systems
● Compatibility with standard sprockets
● Stable spare parts availability
CamelConvey provides matching sprockets, wear strips, guides, and other components specifically for F801 conveyor systems.
F801 (MCC-30) vs CC600 Chain
Model | Chain Type | Typical Application | Key Features |
F801 / MCC-30 chain | Heavy-duty cast chain | LPG cylinder conveyors | Highest impact and wear resistance; industry standard |
CC600 chain | Cast combination chain | Packaging & medium-load conveyors | Strong, but not designed for cylinder impact |
Summary:
✔️ LPG cylinder handling → F801 / MCC-30 chain (best choice)
✔️ Medium-load conveying → CC600 chain
Key Conveyor Components for F801 (MCC-30) Systems
A reliable conveyor system requires more than just a strong chain. Essential components include:
🔶 Sprockets
Accurate tooth geometry ensures smooth chain engagement.
Worn sprockets may cause:
● Chain jumping
● Excessive chain wear
● Reduced conveying efficiency
🔶 UHMWPE Wear Strips and Guides
These components help:
● Reduce friction
● Lower noise levels
● Maintain chain alignment
🔶 Chain Guards and Side Plates
Used to:
● Prevent cylinder shifting
● Protect the chain from lateral impact
CamelConvey offers a complete range of compatible accessories for F801 systems.
Maintenance Tips to Extend F801 (MCC-30) Chain Life
✔ Use proper lubrication – high-viscosity, anti-wear oil is recommended
✔ Monitor pitch elongation – replace chain if elongation exceeds 1.8%–2%
✔ Check pin and bushing wear – rapid wear may indicate lubrication or contamination issues
✔ Ensure guide alignment – misalignment accelerates wear
