Technical Information –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 dress in, bending failure by rusting and roller rotation failure and so forth. come about. In this kind of situations, based on the predicament, stainless steel or high guard chains or chains with stainless steel components are advised. The substantial guard chains are really rated by our prospects. For working with chains under water, see the next “For In-water Use”.
For In-water Use
When making use of chains in water or sea water, brittle fracture and corrosion must be taken into consideration as well as the adverse ailments stated within the over part. For this purpose, we manufacture Water Therapy Conveyor Chains which include Traveling Water Display Transfer Chain, Rake Chain, Sewage Remedy Chain, BT Bushing Chain for Water Therapy Drive Unit. Chains with stainless steel elements, with specially coated plates or stainless steel chains are advised. Moreover, as corrosion resistant bearings which could be utilised in-water, stainless steel, Diesten and Diemec bearings can be found.
For Use in Acidic or Alkali Environments
In acidic or alkali environments, pressure corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, intergranular corrosion, and so forth. are caused as well as popular challenges encountered in other corrosive environments. Section “5-4 Corrosion Resistance Against A variety of Substances” lists the corrosion resistance of chain products to different substances.
Especially, components made from 13Cr stainless steel may well rust depending on situations.

Chain life is extended by periodical lubrication. Lubrication also minimizes the expected electrical power. Nevertheless, note that, below some support situations, lubrication could adversely influence the chain, or be regulated by law, and so on.
?Lubrication intervals
It is a general rule to lubricate about once a week, but depending on the ailments all through operation as well as state of lubricating oil, lubricate as essential.
As lubrication procedures, coating or drip lubrication is encouraged. As for the locations of lubrication, see the following illustration.
For effective lubrication, clean the chain just before lubrication. Decide on a lubrication system appropriate for the specific services condition.
?Automatic lubrication (oiling) device
We’ve many automatic lubrication (oiling) units. Check with us if you’re making use of chains within a setup exactly where lubrication is hard or in the event you prepare to automate lubrication.
When Lubrication Is not really Achievable
Lubrication is absolutely essential for extending the life in the chain. However, beneath some circumstances, lubrication may not be sensible.
Keep away from lubrication from the following cases:
1) The chain is embedded inside the loads (granular materials, powder, and so forth.).
2) Granular material and powder deposit about the chain when carried by pan or apron conveyors. Right here, lubrication functions adversely.
3) The chain temperature gets substantial.
4） Ailments by which lubrication is prohibited by regulations or laws.
When the chain cannot be lubricated or is being used to convey food, we recommend utilizing our resin, oilless or stainless steel bearings.
For Use with Meals
When using chains for driving or conveying within a meals processing machine, particularly when the food immediately contacts the chain, stainless steel is required by FDA rules.
Stainless steel chains (S3) manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel are advised. We also manufacture chains with neat appearance that give a clean impression made especially for use with food items. Speak to us for much more info.
