Patz Model 166-A Conveyor - Overview & Features

Performance Strong As Steel

Popular, versatile conveyor

The Model 166-A can be used as a one-way unit or, equipped with reversing motor, as a two-way system with a spout at each end.

  • The heart of your system with one-way or two-way conveying.
  • No more worries about conveyor chain with double-hook links welded to steel flites.
  • Install easily with custom-built lengths. Add 2-1/2-, 5- or 10-foot (.8-,1.5- or 3-m) sections as needed up to 100 feet (30 m). Center sections can be field cut. Coupler brackets are available to weld to cut end.
  • Replaceable elbow pans add extra life. All pans are bolted in place and replaceable.
  • Bearings are long-life, sealed, prelubricated, and greaseable for reliable, continuous duty.
  • Cover sections are available to bolt on trough to keep out rain and other contaminants.
  • 22-1/2° elbow provides a 5" per foot (127 mm per 305 mm) pitch.




Motor conveniently mounts on top or bottom of conveyor for installation versatility. The 166-A uses a single V-Belt with roller chain reduction. (Guards removed for viewing.)

Heat-forged, heavy-duty, double-hook links are welded to 2-inch by 15-1/2-inch steel flites. Flite spacing is 14-1/2-inches. Links are detachable without tools for easy service.



Bolt-together coupler brackets provide reinforcement for extra strength and allow up to 30-foot (9 m) spans between supports. A 100-foot (30 m) conveyor weighs more than 3,100 pounds (1,406 kg) with rugged construction.

Spouts are available as optional equipment to deliver material where you need it.
