Industries We Serve

Frost has made overhead conveyor chain, trolleys and conveyor components in Grand Rapids, Michigan since 1915. The industries we serve include automotive paint shops and continuous bakeries. Heavy truck and agricultural equipment plants, aerospace finishing lines, food processors and general manufacturers also run on Frost parts. Because each industry loads a conveyor differently, each page below covers the chain, trolleys and parts built for that work.

All Industries

Automotive

Paint shops, e-coat ovens and assembly lines run on Frost X-type chain and forged-bracket trolleys. High temperature roller turn rollers are rated to 800°F continuous, while sealed trolley wheels keep overspray out of the bearing.

Bakery

For over 40 years, Frost has made proofer and oven chain for continuous bakery systems. That includes AMF BakeTech, Lanham Next Generation and Stewart style lines. Every chain is also heat treated, plated, assembled in the USA and quality checked before it ships.

Heavy Truck

Frames, cabs and axles are heavy, and they swing. That is why Frost builds X-458 and X-678 chain and 4 and 6 in trolleys with full ball wheels for heavy truck paint and assembly. Frost also makes Webb, Acco, Fata and Rapid style free trolleys.

Aerospace

Aerospace parts move through wash, coating and cure, where heat and contamination destroy standard bearings. Frost sealed trolleys ship grease packed, so oil stays off the parts below. High temperature roller turn rollers are also rated to 800°F.

Agriculture

Tractors, combines and implements are painted and assembled on long overhead lines with big, uneven loads. Frost X-458 and X-678 chain, forged-bracket trolleys and free trolleys are built for that duty. Every strand of chain is also proof loaded.

Industrial

General manufacturing lines change product, not conveyors. That is why Frost supplies X-type and enclosed track chain, including Zig-Zag and Eisenmann compatible styles. Trolleys, wheels, rollers and replacement parts are also available for systems old and new.

Food Processing

Poultry, meat and packaged food plants run overhead conveyors through washdown and caustic cleaning every day. So Frost and Frost Links make stainless X-type chain, food processing trolleys and Splashproof® sealed wheels built for it.
