Chains of robust and simple construction that offer maximum reliability and extended service.
The technology applied is to produce a chain of the most simple and robust construction suitable for bark, chip and wood waste transport. The chain is therefore of an open and simple construction with square section as opposed to round section to maximise cross sectional area and contact surfaces to maximise interlink wear resistance and sliding surfaces within the conveyor. The casting techniques employed are unique with chains being cast in multiple link sections. John King offer two standard material grades which over time have proven to offer the best mechanical characteristics and consequentially service performance although the versatility of the casting process allows for a wide range of material grades to suit the customer’s specific requirements. More information can be found in the technical section 18.6 – John King irons and steels.
