DON'T
BE FOOLED! Important Conveyor Chain Information
|
|
We've seen imported
chain with a very-low tensile strength being
marketed. The tensile strength on 667H imported chain we
had tested
was only 5,500# versus 9,500# on the domestic chain that
we sell.
Avoid the "horror-stories"
of premature chain-failure and accelerated, sprocket wear from
imported, low-tensile chain. We offer domestic,
high-tensile chain... and at a lower price!

-
Heavier-gauge,
rust-resistant galvanized-steel construction resists forage acids
for longer life
- Sturdy, detachable or
pintle conveyor chain is tempered hard for longer wear
-
High-grade,
corded-rubber 'plow contour' flights are reinforced with rugged
steel brackets - flights are closer spaced for faster, higher-capacity
feed delivery with minimum rideup
-
Conveyor-chain
take-up (bolt type) located at discharge end. Fast and
simple to adjust - up to 2" adjustment - few turns of two nuts
are all that is required. Doesn't affect roller-chain drive adjustment
-
Enclosed,
lower trough for clean, chain return and extra strength
-
Heavy
cast-iron, drive and idler shaft, conveyor-chain sprockets – sprocket
design helps prevent material buildup between chain and sprocket
-
Bronze,
pillow-block bearings with grease fittings - resist forage acids
for longer life. Two bearings, not just one, on each idler,
drive and cross shaft to reduce wear on sprockets, shafts and
bearings.
- Heavy-gauge steel fixed
boot - equipped with water drain holes to help prevent freeze-up
in cold weather
-
Sliding
motor mount may be set at any point along top elevator flange
(underslung mounts also available)
-
Replacement
pan or trough easily slips over existing pan or outside bottom
trough, without having to replace sides of trough (pop rivet
or tack weld to existing pan or trough)
- Wider choice of accessories
to custom-make a one-man feeding system. Available with transports,
motors, declines, covers, special hoppers, hoods, downspouts and
diverters

CONNECTING
JOINTS
|
|
|
- Simple but sturdy
angle iron connecting joint used for longer lengths - strongest
structural design available.
- Furnished on elevator
lengths over 14' (for ease of delivery). Factory installed
at any point along elevator - specify location (usually at
midpoint for easiest handling). Also furnished on shorter
length elevators, at no charge, if requested.
- Joints constructed
of sturdier angle iron - prevents bowing, twisting and
bending - eliminates stretching. Stronger than flat connector
plates.
- Simple to connect
- joints bolt to each other quickly.
