For Use in Situations Exposed to Water or Sea Water Drops
When chains are exposed to rainwater or sea water drops, lowering of power and brittleness by corrosion, sudden wear, bending failure by rusting and roller rotation failure etc. occur. In this kind of scenarios, depending on the situation, stainless steel or large guard chains or chains with stainless steel parts are advised. The large guard chains are hugely rated by our shoppers. For using chains under water, see the following “For In-water Use”.
For In-water Use
When employing chains in water or sea water, brittle fracture and corrosion need to be taken into consideration in addition to the adverse ailments stated inside the over segment. For this objective, we manufacture Water Treatment method Conveyor Chains together with Traveling Water Display Transfer Chain, Rake Chain, Sewage Therapy Chain, 
BT Bushing Chain for Water Treatment Drive Unit. Chains with stainless steel parts, with specially coated plates or stainless steel chains are suggested. Moreover, as corrosion resistant bearings which can be made use of in-water, stainless steel, Diesten and Diemec bearings are available.
For Use in Acidic or Alkali Environments
In acidic or alkali environments, pressure corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, intergranular corrosion, etc. are brought about in addition to typical issues encountered in other corrosive environments. Section “5-4 Corrosion Resistance Towards Various Substances” lists the corrosion resistance of chain elements to different substances.
Especially, components made from 13Cr stainless steel could rust depending on situations.
Lubrication
Chain existence is extended by periodical lubrication. Lubrication also minimizes the needed power. On the other hand, note that, below some support disorders, lubrication might adversely have an impact on the chain, or be regulated by law, etc.
?Lubrication intervals
It is actually a general rule to lubricate about when a week, but depending on the conditions for the duration of operation as well as the state of lubricating oil, lubricate as desired.
As lubrication techniques, coating or drip lubrication is encouraged. As for that destinations of lubrication, see the following illustration.
For effective lubrication, clean the chain prior to lubrication. Decide on a lubrication system suitable for the specific support ailment.
?Automatic lubrication (oiling) gadget
We have many automated lubrication (oiling) gadgets. Seek advice from us should you be employing chains within a setup exactly where lubrication is tough or should you approach to automate lubrication.
When Lubrication Isn’t Feasible
Lubrication is totally needed for extending the existence in the chain. Having said that, under some conditions, lubrication might not be sensible.
Stay away from lubrication during the following circumstances:
1) The chain is embedded from the loads (granular materials, powder, and so on.).
two) Granular material and powder deposit on the chain when carried by pan or apron conveyors. Right here, lubrication works adversely.
3) The chain temperature turns into high.
4） Problems by which lubrication is prohibited by laws or laws.
Once the chain cannot be lubricated or is getting used to convey meals, we propose working with our resin, oilless or stainless steel bearings.
For Use with Food
When employing chains for driving or conveying within a foods processing machine, primarily when the meals immediately contacts the chain, stainless steel is required by FDA rules.
Stainless steel chains (S3) made of 18-8 stainless steel are advisable. We also manufacture chains with neat look that give a clean impression built particularly for use with meals products. Contact us for much more information.
