Bucket elevator chain
Renold has been successfully used in elevator applications for many years and has found that for most applications, chains derived from the standard product line are sufficient.
Fillet weld K attachments are included to provide additional attachment strength and are smaller than standard gear rollers to reduce weight, all of which are needed to produce wear-resistant and long-lasting chains. If the chain is to be used in abrasive and/or corrosive conditions, special heavy-duty chains can be produced.
Bucket elevator: The chain is equipped with a fillet weld K attachment for dynamic discharge (centrifugation) elevators and a G attachment for forced discharge elevators. The design details of each type of elevator can be found in the downloadable design guide.
When dealing with certain corrosive materials, it is sometimes necessary to modify the design, material, or heat treatment of the chain, and in these cases, we recommend consulting with a Renold application engineer before specifying the chain.
