Specifications
Drop forged conveyor chains are widely used in bulk material handling of products such as grain, coal and ash. Also known as drop forged scraper chains they are typically fitted with flights or special attachments. The chain links themselves are forged from specially selected alloy steel and then precision machined to close tolerances.
When you require a continuous flow (en-masse or drag conveying) and the material is being moved slowly within the casing, then a drop forged conveyor chain with attachments matched to the materials being moved will be a good choice for you.
Our drop forged conveyor chains are manufactured from a high grade alloy steel such as 42CrMo. Of course we can also make custom forgings according to your specific requirements by using other materials and heat treatments for achieving high strength and wear resistance of our chains. Our drop forged conveyor chains have standard type, double type and triple link type.
Manufacturing Process of Drop Forged Conveyor Chains
Drop Forging: Conveyor chains belong to the closed die drop forging group of products. Therefore, the forging dies must first be made before the final conveyor chains can be forged. Our in-house die workshop is fully capable of supplying our clients with high precision forging dies and of course completing the process of forging the conveyor chains according to our clients’ expectations and requirements.
Machining: Our advanced CNC machining centers guarantee a superior and permanent quality of our products such as conveyor chains. These machining operations include milling, drilling, boring, etc. Machining ensures perfect assembling and working.
Heat Treatment: Heat treatment ensures a uniform surface hardness and depth of the conveyor chains. Heat treatment is the main process for making drop forged conveyor chains. With our long years of drop forged conveyor chains manufacturing experience, we have obtained an excellent knowledge and are thus very proficient in executing the heat treatment process in order to achieve only the best work performance and output.
Quality Testing: Each chain link is checked and tested in our testing room after they have been manufactured. We especially emphasize our tests of the chain links for their strength and hardness. The testing results are then stored in our well organised database so that anything can be checked at any time.
