Applications
These chains have been designed specifically for chain conveyor belts systems. It consists of a series of journal bearings that are held together by constraining link plates. Each bearing consists of a pin and a bush on which the chain roller revolves. Good uses for a conveyor chain are: Mining, Food processing, Sewage treatment, Timber harvesting, Agriculture, Textile machinery, Automobile plants, Cement works, and Material handling.
For industries requiring durability, heavy duty roller chain conveyors are often preferred to handle demanding loads. In automotive manufacturing, facilities increasingly rely on custom automotive conveyor belting solutions to streamline production. Many operations benefit from retrofit-friendly belts and chains, allowing existing systems to upgrade without full replacement. For recycling plants, implementing a conveyor belt for efficient recycling throughput can significantly improve processing speed and material flow.
You can find chains being used in the following industries:
