Pennine secures patent for Swiftlink head protector link

Published 23rd June, 2020 by Greg Morris

Pennine Industrial Equipment has recently been granted a European Patent (EP 3348497) for its Swiftlink head protector link.

This follows on from its US patent which has already been granted (US 10,358,293 B2).

The Swiftlink was designed to provide a new style of head protector that not only creates an uninterrupted transfer surface but also provides the ability to rapidly connect a chain when combined with its Pennlock system.

This type of chain is well designed to deal with the ware handling requirements of all types of glass containers and allows for reductions in maintenance time due to the rapid connection system.
