For over thirty years, the BAT system has supported food & pharma production lines with reliable, modular, and flexible solutions.
Among them, the BAT Buffer has become a benchmark: a compact, pressureless accumulation system designed to ensure continuity and efficiency even during microstops. This year, at FachPack 2025, the BAT Buffer comes with an important upgrade: the new USC – Ultimate Safety Chain.
Why is USC different?
It is the evolution of the well-established 879 chain, used and recognized throughout the industry for more than three decades. It maintains full backward compatibility with existing systems, while introducing unique features:
- Quieter operation, even at high speeds
- Improved sprocket engagement
- Integrated Safety Finger to reduce operator risks
More safety, without sacrificing performance or reliability.
A simple upgrade for existing plants
With USC, upgrading a system is easy: just replace chain and sprockets to instantly gain a stronger, quieter, and safer solution.
See it live at FachPack
From September 23 to 25 in Nuremberg, you will find the new USC running on the BAT Buffer at our booth. It will be the perfect chance to see up close how this innovation can make your lines safer and more efficient.
