British Standard Chains
Engineered to BS4116 standards, these chains offer unmatched durability and corrosion resistance for industries like water treatment and automotive. Precision manufacturing ensures tight tolerances and smooth operation, reducing downtime. Customisable with specialised attachments to meet specific application requirements.
Metric Chains
Compliant with DIN 8187 and ISO 1977 specifications, these chains provide reliable power transmission in demanding environments. Designed for easy maintenance with end-softened pins and optimised stress distribution for enhanced longevity.
Cast Chains
Manufactured from cast steel with heat-treated pins, these chains excel in multistrand conveyors handling crates and gas bottles. Features include corrosion-resistant materials and optional zinc plating for spark prevention in explosive environments.
Sprockets
Precision-engineered sprockets designed for seamless compatibility with all chain types. Available in cast, welded, or forged variants up to 3 metres in diameter, ensuring optimal performance in heavy-duty industrial applications.
Welded Steel Chains
High-strength chains with induction-hardened components for grain handling and bulk material conveyors. Available in multiple configurations with polyethylene flights for reduced wear in high-duty applications.
