But before we get into why you should choose John King Chains as your conveyor chain supplier, let’s take a closer look at some welded chain applications.
Welded steel chains, also called welded chains, are a type of heavy-duty conveyor chain designed for superior strength, shock resistance, and resilience in tough industrial environments. Unlike many other conveyor chain types, they are constructed with welded steel components to create a robust structure. This design allows the chain to manage both heavy loads and abrasive conditions.
Their rugged build and adaptability make welded steel chains perfect for medium to high-tension conveying applications where lighter chains may simply be unable to withstand the operational demands.
Welded chains are used across a wide variety of industries. Their characteristics offer several durability and performance benefits. Common welded chain applications include:
Welded steel chains’ strength makes them ideal for log decks, transfer conveyors, chipper feeders and other timber processing equipment. Their ability to withstand exposure to dust, debris, and heavy shock loading makes them a leading choice in the timber and forestry industries.
This chain type excels in handling bulk materials in the agricultural industry, including grain and animal feed. They are consistently used to carry products across elevators, scrapers, and horizontal conveying systems.
Chains used in recycling and waste processing must be resistant to moisture, as well as abrasive and corrosive substances. Welded steel chains are routinely used in these settings due to their superior reliability in such environments.
These chains are designed to withstand severe conditions and handle substantial loads, making them suitable for a range of construction and aggregate-handling applications, from conveyors to asphalt production.
In addition to the specific industries mentioned above, welded steel chains are used in a wide range of manufacturing environments. They are commonplace in the transportation of components, materials, and waste within countless production lines.
