The Spring-loaded Line Tensioner from Dutch Poultry Tech is designed to maintain correct and consistent tension in overhead conveyor systems used in poultry processing lines. Proper line tension is essential to ensure smooth product flow, prevent interruptions, and support reliable operation throughout the entire processing process.
The system uses a manual spring-loaded mechanism that can be adjusted using a spanner, making it a simple and effective solution for conveyor tension control. It is available in different configurations and can be adapted to various line layouts, including tube and T-track systems. The tensioner is suitable for corner wheel sizes of 291 mm, 485 mm, or 680 mm, allowing full compatibility with different conveyor setups.

The Spring-loaded Line Tensioner from Dutch Poultry Tech is an important component in overhead conveyor systems used in poultry processing plants. Its main function is to maintain correct and consistent tension in the line, ensuring stable and uninterrupted movement of shackles and carcasses throughout the processing stages.
Proper tensioning is essential for preventing operational issues such as chain slack, uneven movement, or unnecessary wear on system components. By keeping the conveyor line correctly tensioned, the system helps maintain smooth product flow from live bird handling through to evisceration, chilling, and packing.
The tensioner operates using a spring-loaded manual adjustment system, which can be tightened using a standard spanner. This makes it a simple, durable, and cost-effective solution that does not rely on pneumatic or electrical components. It is especially suitable for installations where reliability and low maintenance are key priorities.
The system is designed for flexibility and can be used in different overhead conveyor configurations. It is compatible with both tube and T-track systems and supports multiple corner wheel sizes, including 291 mm, 485 mm, and 680 mm. This allows the tensioner to be integrated into a wide range of existing or new processing lines without major modifications.
