The 700 Series Conveyor Flange Adapter from Boston Gear (Quincy, Mass.) is designed for increased control and lower maintenance costs on material handling

The 700 Series Conveyor Flange Adapter from Boston Gear (Quincy, Mass.) is designed for increased control and lower maintenance costs on material handling conveyors. The direct-mount worm gear speed reducer replaces costly and heavy chain drive mounted on many material handling conveyors. Fewer moving parts that traditional chain and sprocket drives means the system costs less to operate. The adapter is easy to install because it attaches to existing conveyor side rails with standard two- and four-bolt mounted bearings.

CFA 700 Series

The CFA700 Series is the newest addition to the 700 Series family of products specially designed and manufactured for material handling conveyors. This patent pending technology makes it simple to mount the speed reducer directly to the conveyor frame using a uniquely designed integral output shaft flange. This state of the art OEM friendly product will dramatically increase productivity and decrease maintenance expenditures.
