Cement Industry Chains

Powerco can meet any special demand for material transport in the cement & asphalt industry. This refers to the majority of chains encountered, starting in the quarry with heavy duty plate feeder chains, stockpiling and reclaiming of raw materials including limestone, shale, coal, gypsum, hot clinker transport, elevators for various duties, ancillary equipment in precipitator dust handling, packaging and alternative fuel conveying.

The cast link chain production made of iron and steel of the highest qualities. Manganese steel or Hadfield steel is typical in clinker drags where the harsh environment encountered is well suited to this material which exhibits unique hardening characteristics.

The preference in newer equipment is to carry the clinker in buckets or pans using perimeter chains and outboard rollers.

Chains for the cement industry have particular strength in mill duty elevators. Drawn from long experience, this chain design is suitable for single strand centrifugal discharge elevators and for Crusader welded steel drag link which has been well received in both retrofit and new applications.

Powerco suggests the usage of conveyor chains in asphalt production where hot handling and abrasion where chains are a pre-requisite. The principal applications include hot stone elevating with chain and buckets from the dryer, drag slat for asphalt transport to heated bins, inclined pan systems typically seen in batch plants and various drag bar chains used in pavers.

The company is well placed to fulfil requirements for both American standards where drag slats are predominant, and European types where static plants with hot stone elevators are more typical.

The chains for the asphalt industry comply with the standard in chains which cover a range of crank link steel bush chains produced to a high specification. The chains produced by original equipment manufacturers over many years have demonstrated a proven performance.
