Introduction to Engineered Chains

There are many different chain products available to consumers but engineered chain is designed specifically to give the highest quality performance with extreme durability that is capable of withstanding very severe conditions. This type of chain is designed to stand the test of time and wear and tear through incredibly tough conditions.   Engineered class chain will provide optimal performance to the user in a wide variety of machinery applications.  Engineered chain is ideal for clients who need the peace of mind that their chain will be reliable and productivity will never be compromised because of chain problems.

What sets engineered chain apart is that all components of the chain are specifically manufactured to exact tolerances which give an improved fit and finish.  The chain is capable of withstanding a great deal of fatigue and wear while still maintaining great functionality.  Further, engineered chain has been heat treated to provide a longer chain life.  Also, things like the pins, bushings and rollers are all manufactured to exact tolerances. Engineered chain can perform in a wide variety of environments including exceptionally cold or hot environments.  Because of the versatility and durability of engineered chain, it is used in many industrial applications including agriculture, heavy industries, paper mills, steel mills, asphalt, construction, food and beverage, cement mill, wastewater, sugar mill, mining, automotive, material handling, power generation, quarry, and more.  As a true work horse, engineered chain is particularly well-suited to material handling.  Engineered class chain is available as engineered steel chain with rollers, engineered steel chain without rollers, engineered steel chain with attachments, roller conveyor chains, steel bushed chains, welded steel chains, and other specialty chains to accommodate the various needs of clients and their wide range of applications.  Engineered chains will increase a business’ productivity and efficiency and the investment is sure to be long-lasting which means that there will be reduced replacement costs and a decrease in manufacturing downtime. For the most dependable and long-wearing chains in applications where reliability and durability are necessary, engineered class chains are the best choice.
