Apron conveyors are commonly used in industries for handling bulk materials.
Apron Chains are constructed with interconnected links & pans attached on top. These pans absorb impact, making them suitable for challenging operating conditions. Sidebars and pins are typically made of alloy steel for wear resistance. Bushings are case-hardened steel, and rollers are often made of low carbon alloy steel.
Apron conveyor chains are used to handle materials like cement, clinker, ore, sand, gravel, coal, and industrial refuse for moving the materials horizontally and up inclines. These chains are versatile for their application in varied material handling systems.
High strength chain links:
These chains are usually manufactured from high quality alloy malleable iron as per international specifications.
Due to the severity of corrosive attack on rotating chain parts, GEE ESS have developed a range of chains to meet these conditions. A selection of which are shown below.
The majority of elevator chains are available with the sealed feature. The sealing method both seals in lubricants and seals out debris.
All chains are designed with press fit pins to allow greater pin loading and to prevent movement. All chain parts are heat treated. All chain supplied with coupling pin and cotter assembled. HS suffix indicates hard facing of plates, face plates and wings. Hard facing is recommended. Maximum recommending opertaing temperature is 530 degree Celsius.
All chains have induction hardened pins. All heavy duty chains are also available in high manganese steel to operate at higher loads and give minimum wear resistance.
