Agriculture Conveyor Chains

Introduction

Agricultural conveyor chains are rugged, heavy-duty roller or flat-link chains built to withstand the harsh demands of farming environments. They are employed in equipment like grain conveyors, seed transport systems, manure spreaders, combine harvesters, bale elevators, and irrigation machinery—designed for high strength, corrosion resistance, and dust resilience.

Specifications

Parameter	Details
Chain Types	Roller (ANSI & ASME standards), Flat-link, Hollow-pin, Detachable plate variants
Pitch	Common sizes: 30–42 mm (1.18–1.65"); double-pitch versions reduce parts and cost
Material	Carbon steel (standard), alloy steel (enhanced), stainless steel for corrosion resistance
Pin/Bush Diameter	7–22 mm typical (e.g., CA-type ~8 mm bushes)
Roller Diameter	Around 16–25 mm; heavy-duty models vary
Tensile Strength	Typical ~40–56 kN (CA-series); heavy-duty ~95 kN+
Temperature Range	Standard (-20 °C to +80 °C); self-lubricating and alloy variants suit more extreme environments

Ideal Industries & Use Cases

• Grain & Seed Conveyors: Ensure gentle bulk material handling in bins, silos, and harvesters
• Combine Harvesters: High strength and wear tolerance under dust and load
• Manure Spreader Chains & Hay Baler Systems: Corrosion-resistant, robust under compaction and exposure
• Irrigation & Sprayer Equipment: Reliable actuation under water and environmental wear
• Bucket Elevators & Bale Transporters: Custom attachments and reinforced flat chains for vertical lift

Materials & Construction

• Link Plates & Pins: Cold-drawn carbon/alloy steel or stainless steel; hardened/chrome-plated for durability
• Rollers & Bushings: Sealed precision rollers with sintered self-lubricating bushings available
• Chain Attachments: Hollow-pin or extended attachments for paddles and flights
• Heat-Treatment & Traceability: Shot-peened and induction-hardened per ISO9001 quality standards

Key Features

• High Load Capacity: Tensile strengths up to 95 kN+ sustain heavy duty field operations
• Corrosion & Abrasion Resistance: Alloy and stainless options withstand corrosive/muddy environments
• Self-Lubricating Options: Oil-infused sintered bushings reduce upkeep and improve lifespan
• Field-Serviceable Design: Flat-detachable and cottered chains can be repaired without special tools
• Customization: Multiple strands, attachment types for bespoke equipment configurations
