Agriculture Machine Casting Steel Parts
Conveyor Chain
Cast steel chains used in conveyors on agricultural machinery are a type of conveyor chain, primarily used for material transport. The following is a detailed description:
Type and Structure
This type of chain is typically made of cast steel and is a leaf chain or double-speed chain structure within the conveyor chain. It features high strength, wear resistance, and impact resistance. The chain plates are constructed of manganese steel with a single arc lap joint for stable operation. Guide plates are installed on both sides of the chain plates for positioning. Bolts securely connect the chain to the track chain, effectively preventing material leakage.
Applications
It is primarily used for material transport in agricultural machinery, such as horizontal or inclined conveying of solid materials such as lump coal, raw coal, and stone. It can also be used to transport industrial waste such as castings and boiler slag. Designed to withstand high impact loads, it is suitable for use in environments subject to dust and noise.
Material Characteristics
Cast steel chains, due to their high strength and wear resistance, are suitable for long-term, high-load operation. Compared to conventional chains, cast steel is more suitable for harsh operating conditions, such as high temperatures, humidity, and corrosive environments. However, rust prevention treatment is required to extend the service life.
