Overhead Conveyor Rail with Plastic Insert

A low-friction rail component for overhead conveyor systems
 
The HOCKER Overhead Conveyor Rail with Plastic Insert is a grooved heavy-wall tubular rail, hot-dip galvanized and fitted with a durable plastic insert designed to reduce friction during the movement of sliding hooks. It is an integral component of overhead conveyor systems used in slaughterhouses, meat cutting plants, food processing facilities and cold storage rooms.
 
The low-friction plastic insert significantly reduces resistance between the sliding hook and the conveyor rail, ensuring smoother product movement while minimizing wear on both the conveyor components and the rail itself.
 
Rails with plastic inserts are particularly suitable for overhead conveyor systems operating continuously under demanding industrial conditions. Reduced friction results in quieter operation, lower pulling forces and extended service life of the entire conveyor system.
 
The rail is designed for use with sliding hooks transporting carcasses, half carcasses, quarters and other food products. Precision manufacturing ensures smooth hook travel, reliable guidance and long-term performance even in harsh operating environments typical of the meat processing industry.
 
The rail can be incorporated into new conveyor installations or used to upgrade existing overhead conveyor systems. Its modular design allows easy integration with bends, switches, junctions and other conveyor track components.

Manufacturer
 
HOCKER designs and manufactures complete overhead conveyor systems for the meat, food and fish processing industries. Our product portfolio includes conveyor rails, rails with plastic inserts, bends, switches, junctions, sliding hooks, roller hooks, transport trolleys and supporting steel structures. All components are engineered for reliable operation, long service life and full system compatibility. We also manufacture custom components according to customer drawings and specific process requirements.Overhead rail for meat are ideal for meat processing plants, enabling easy and efficient transport of half carcasses in the plant and for cold storage. Our recessed tubes ensure less friction during transport, resulting in lower operating costs. Thanks to the use of sliding or roller hooks, the transport of carcasses along the queue is smooth and trouble-free. In addition, ergonomic turnouts facilitate the connection and manipulation of the queues, ensuring an optimised workflow. With our in-plant queuing systems, plants can enjoy increased transport efficiency and optimised storage of half carcasses.
