1. Product Definition
Single Rounded End Oil Catch Plate, also named single arc oil shield or transition anti-drip baffle, is a standard accessory matched with QXG series overhead hanging conveyor systems. It features one curved rounded end and one straight flat end, specially designed for the transition zones where straight tracks connect curved bend tracks. Installed beneath conveyor trolleys and hanging chains, it collects dripping lubricant, grease, paint residue and metal dust falling from chain pins, bearings and trolley rollers. It effectively prevents finished workpieces from oil stain contamination during powder coating, liquid painting, electroplating and electrophoresis production lines.

2. Structural Design & Functional Advantages
2.1 Single Rounded Arc End
The smooth curved edge eliminates sharp corners. When trolleys pass through small bends, slopes and transition turns, it avoids scratching, jamming or scraping the conveyor chain and trolley wheels, reducing abnormal noise and wear of conveyor moving parts. It fits mild curved transition sections perfectly.
2.2 Straight Flat End
The flat square edge fits tightly with straight track sections. It can seamlessly connect straight-type oil catch plates, forming a continuous full-length oil-receiving barrier without gaps along the whole conveyor line. No oil leakage blind spots exist at track joints.
2.2 Slotted Adjustable Mounting Holes
Two long oval mounting slots are pre-punched on the plate. Customers can adjust the front-back installation distance freely to match QXG trolleys with 150mm, 200mm, 250mm chain pitches, offering high installation tolerance for different conveyor specifications.
2.3 One-piece Flat Plate Construction
Integrated flat sheet structure without bending or splicing. It provides a smooth flat surface to hold waste oil and paint slag, easy for daily cleaning. Light weight will not add extra load to hanging trolleys and overhead tracks.
3. Application Classification Compared With Other Oil Catch Plates
| Product Model | Matching Track Type | Core Working Scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Single Rounded End Oil Catch Plate | Straight-curve transition track, small slope climbing track, bend inlet & outlet | Connection zones between linear main tracks and curved turning tracks |
| Straight End Oil Catch Plate | Pure straight overhead conveyor track | Long straight painting main lines with no bends |
| Double Rounded End Oil Catch Plate | 90° / 180° sharp bends, full circular loop conveyor | Continuous curved circular production lines, full turning sections |
4. Main Material Options & Performance
4.1 Galvanized Steel (Economical Grade)
Advantages: Low cost, basic rust resistance, lightweight, mass production supply
Suitable for: General dry powder coating lines, short-cycle small-batch production workshops
Limitation: Not resistant to long-term chemical corrosion from electrophoresis liquid
4.2 304 Stainless Steel (Premium Industrial Grade)
Advantages: Superior anti-rust & anti-corrosion performance, resistant to paint solvent, acid and alkaline liquid splash, long service life
Suitable for: Electroplating, electrophoresis, wet paint spraying lines, high-humidity heavy-duty continuous production factories
Limitation: Higher cost than galvanized sheet
5. Installation Standard & Working Principle
Mount the plate under conveyor trolleys via the long slots, align the rounded end toward the curved track side, and the straight end toward linear track side.
All dripping oil and paint waste from chain moving parts falls onto the flat surface of the catch plate, instead of dropping onto workpieces below.
Staff can take down the plates regularly to clear accumulated grease and residue, keeping the conveyor line and finished products clean.
6. Core Industry Benefits for Manufacturers
Reduce workpiece rejection rate caused by oil spots and paint stains, lower production waste cost.
Protect conveyor chains and trolleys: collected waste oil will not stick to track surfaces to cause adhesion and blockage.
Universal compatibility with all QXG overhead hanging conveyor systems, one plate covers transition track demands to simplify spare part inventory.
Simple installation and maintenance, no special tools required for replacement and cleaning.
