BUCKET PLASTIC CHAIN 20FT

Product Description

The Kito Chain Container Food Grade is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito ER2 Series electric chain hoists at a maximum lift height of 20 ft, identified by part number BP2-C2-FG. The food grade chain container — also referred to as a food grade chain bucket or chain bag — is the plastic receptacle attached to the hoist body that collects and stores the slack load chain as it accumulates during lifting operations in food processing, food manufacturing, beverage production, and other hygiene-critical industrial environments where standard chain containers do not meet the material and contamination control requirements of the application.

The food grade designation confirms this chain container is manufactured from a plastic material that meets food contact safety standards, making it suitable for use in environments where incidental contact between the chain container and food products, food packaging, or food contact surfaces must not introduce contamination risk. In food processing and beverage production facilities, all equipment components operating above open food, open packaging, or food contact surfaces — including hoist chain containers — are typically required to meet food grade material specifications as part of the facility's HACCP plan, food safety management system, and regulatory compliance obligations. Using a non-food-grade chain container in these environments creates a contamination risk and may constitute a non-compliance with applicable food safety regulations and facility standards.

As the hoist raises a load, the slack load chain feeds into the chain container in a controlled manner, and as the hoist lowers the load, the chain is drawn back out of the container and through the hoist body. The chain container must be large enough to contain the full length of slack chain generated at the maximum lift height of the hoist without overflowing or becoming jammed, and must be securely attached to the hoist body to prevent it from detaching under the weight of a full chain load. The 20 ft maximum lift specification for part number BP2-C2-FG confirms this container is sized for the volume of slack chain generated at up to 20 ft of lift for the ER2 Series, consistent with the standard 20 ft BP2-D2 container but manufactured to food grade material specifications for hygiene-critical applications.

The food grade chain container is subject to cracking, deformation, and mechanical damage over its service life through the repeated impact and abrasion of the load chain feeding in and out during each lift cycle, accidental impact from loads and rigging hardware, and exposure to food processing environments including washdown, cleaning chemicals, and temperature cycling. Conditions requiring chain container replacement include cracks or holes in the container body that allow chain to escape or create contamination risk, deformation that prevents the chain from feeding correctly, damage to the container mounting hardware or attachment points, and any condition that compromises the container's ability to safely contain the full slack chain load or maintain the hygiene integrity required by the operating environment.

Note: Confirm the correct food grade chain container part number for the specific ER2 Series model and lift height with your Kito distributor before ordering. Verify that part number BP2-C2-FG meets the specific food grade material and regulatory requirements of your facility and jurisdiction before installation. Chain container replacement should be performed by a qualified hoist technician. The hoist must be function tested before returning to service following chain container replacement.
