Default Food conveying needle chain

Gang,
Just posted a text file and some pictures to the dropbox.
bizerba0.txt
bizerba1.jpg through bizerba9.jpg
which are pictures of a "needle" chain used on slicer/stackers as seen
sometimes in the deli department of grocery stores for slicing ham,
cheese, etc. These chains are used to convey the sliced product
around to a position for "stacking". These particular chains have a
little needle welded to the center of the link and at right angles to
direction of travel. The newer chains simply make the ends of the
links longer and form the needles from that - however the newer style
chain won't work on the older machines and we are now starting to run
out of replacement chains for the older machines. I'm just looking
for a source for this chain - I know SOME company made these chains
for Bizerba, but I'm coming up dry in my searches. Any help would be
appreciated. Post replies here or to kws(two zero zero nine)a at
windstream dot net.
Thanks.
