Description
Product Overview
The LBP882TAB-K375 is the 375 mm width variant of the LBP882TAB sideflexing roller accumulation chain — combining the tab-link sideflexing capability of the 882TAB series with POM low-noise rollers for back-pressure elimination in curved accumulation zones. At K375 width, this chain handles multi-file product accumulation on conveyor layouts that include horizontal curves, where standard straight accumulation roller chains cannot navigate the curve and standard sideflexing chains generate full sliding back-pressure during accumulation. The LBP882TAB-K375 resolves both constraints simultaneously. EverPower plastic chain Australia Pty Ltd supplies the LBP882TAB-K375 as a direct replacement for System Plast LBP882TAB at K375 width.
Working load 3,000 N (reinforced 882 link plate), minimum inner bend radius approximately 450–550 mm at K375 width, POM rollers, back-pressure CoF 0.01–0.02, maximum run 9 m (sideflexing constraint), maximum speed 60 m/min dry-run, operating temperature -40 C to +90 C, 25.4 mm pitch, packing 5 ft per box at 26 links per metre.

The Case for Curved Accumulation Buffer Layouts
In compact filling halls and multi-level distribution centres, the floor plan often cannot accommodate a straight accumulation buffer spur of the required length. A 12-metre straight buffer requires 12 metres of clear floor in a single direction — a layout constraint that conflicts with structural columns, adjacent process equipment, and wall offsets. The LBP882TAB-K375 allows the accumulation buffer to follow a curved path, fitting within the available floor space without requiring either a divert-spur-remerge layout or a structural modification.
At K375 width, a curved accumulation buffer using LBP882TAB can carry 2–3 files of standard beverage product through a 90-degree curve with a 450–550 mm inner radius — fitting within a corridor width of approximately 1275–1475 mm. A straight buffer of equivalent capacity would require approximately 3275 mm of corridor in the straight direction. The curved layout at this width saves approximately 2000 mm of floor corridor length.
Tab-Link Geometry at Wide Format
The 882TAB series uses alternating tab-link profile links that create flex relief zones allowing greater lateral deflection per link than the bevel-edge 882 can achieve. At K375 width, the LBP882TAB achieves approximately 30–40% tighter minimum bend radius than the equivalent bevel LF882. The tab-link geometry also maintains full roller function through the minimum bend radius — the rollers continue to rotate freely at the curve, providing the same back-pressure reduction on the curved section as on the straight sections of the accumulation zone.

What Our Customers Say
“LBP882TAB-K375 on our 90-degree curved accumulation buffer — 7.5 metres through the curve. The buffer fits within the floor space between a structural column and the filler. Straight buffer would have required relocating the column. Roller chain keeps back-pressure within spec around the curve.”
— Conveyor Systems Engineer, Beverage Production, Sydney NSW
“Roller function through the curve was the key requirement we needed to verify before specifying. EverPower confirmed the tab-link geometry maintains roller rotation at our minimum bend radius. Verified on installation — every roller in the curved section rotates freely. Zero flat-spotting at 9 months.”
— Process Engineer, Packaging Facility, Melbourne VIC
“The 3,000 N working load of the 882TAB gives us more design margin than the 2,250 N standard sideflexing chain. At our product load and run length, the tension calculation came in at 2,100 N — 30% below the rating. That safety margin on a sideflexing chain with combined accumulation function is reassuring.”
