RETHINK THE LINK!

• Famous for its unique Hook-&-Eye design, the Patz link is engineered for uniform pitch length and precision contours on all load bearing surfaces to ensure smooth operation and longevity.
• Every Patz 400 link begins with superior raw materials—proprietary alloy steels for stronger, tougher, and more wear resistant chain.
• Not a casting, each link is produced in a state-of-the-art, closed-die hammer forged process in which the metal is compressed, condensing the grain structure to make a stronger link, with longer service life.
• Heat treated through this advanced true forging process maximizes impact tolerance, fracture strength, and fatigue resistance.
• Patz 12-Point inspection completes the manufacturing processes and quality assurance procedures to ensure the ultimate in product performance.
• Finally, Patz premium powder-coat seals the superior surface finish of improved forging to reduce break-in wear.

WHY BUY GENUINE PATZ FLITES?

• Flites consist of three components: the link, paddle, and wear shoe.
• Patz specialized welding techniques increase strength and provide reliability of the link-paddle-shoe. Paddles are cut and welded to the link at an exact angle to prevent binding in the gutter or trough while allowing close tolerance for clean material flow.
  • As material is discharged, the flite angle pushes material to the outside, away from the center beam, chain linkage, and drive sprocket.
• Patz one-of-a-kind wear shoe at 2-inch-wide x 3-1/4-inch-long and 1/2-inch-thick provides maximum strength and durability and is key to longer service life.
  • The expanded wear shoe delivers greater load support on the channel floor, requiring less pressure per square inch—reducing concrete gutter grooving and steel trough floor wear, while providing optimal flite stability in corner movement.
