Technical Data --Chain Variety

For Use in Circumstances Exposed to Water or Sea Water Drops
When chains are exposed to rainwater or sea water drops, lowering of power and brittleness by corrosion, sudden wear, bending failure by rusting and roller rotation failure etc. come about. In such instances, depending on the situation, stainless steel or substantial guard chains or chains with stainless steel components are recommended. The higher guard chains are remarkably rated by our prospects. For employing chains underneath water, see the next "For In-water Use".
For In-water Use
When working with chains in water or sea water, brittle fracture and corrosion should be taken into consideration in addition to the adverse disorders stated during the above section. For this goal, we manufacture Water Treatment Conveyor Chains which includes Traveling Water Display Transfer Chain, Rake Chain, Sewage Remedy Chain, BT Bushing Chain for Water Treatment method Drive Unit. Chains with stainless steel elements, with specially coated plates or stainless steel chains are recommended. In addition, as corrosion resistant bearings which might be applied in-water, stainless steel, Diesten and Diemec bearings can be found.
For Use in Acidic or Alkali Environments
In acidic or alkali environments, strain corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, intergranular corrosion, and so on. are induced in addition to frequent challenges encountered in other corrosive environments. Area "5-4 Corrosion Resistance Against Various Substances" lists the corrosion resistance of chain supplies to numerous substances.
Particularly, elements made of 13Cr stainless steel may perhaps rust depending on problems.
Lubrication
Chain daily life is extended by periodical lubrication. Lubrication also lowers the needed power. Nevertheless, note that, under some services disorders, lubrication may well adversely have an effect on the chain, or be regulated by law, etc.
?Lubrication intervals
It's a basic rule to lubricate about once a week, but depending on the problems during operation and also the state of lubricating oil, lubricate as needed.
As lubrication procedures, coating or drip lubrication is advised. As for that spots of lubrication, see the following illustration.
For helpful lubrication, clean the chain prior to lubrication. Decide on a lubrication method appropriate for the particular service issue.
?Automatic lubrication (oiling) gadget
We've several automated lubrication (oiling) units. Talk to us if you are making use of chains in the setup in which lubrication is tricky or in the event you plan to automate lubrication.
When Lubrication Will not be Doable
Lubrication is totally important for extending the daily life of the chain. On the other hand, below some problems, lubrication might not be sensible.
Keep away from lubrication in the following instances:
1) The chain is embedded during the loads (granular material, powder, etc.).
2) Granular materials and powder deposit about the chain when carried by pan or apron conveyors. Here, lubrication will work adversely.
3) The chain temperature becomes substantial.
4） Situations by which lubrication is prohibited by rules or laws.
When the chain can't be lubricated or is getting used to convey foods, we advise employing our resin, oilless or stainless steel bearings.
For Use with Food
When using chains for driving or conveying inside a foods processing machine, especially once the foods immediately contacts the chain, stainless steel is required by FDA laws.
Stainless steel chains (S3) manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel are advised. We also manufacture chains with neat physical appearance that give a clean impression created notably for use with meals solutions. Speak to us for extra information and facts.
