I Renold Cement Chain

Cement industry
Conveyor chain value through quality
Renold cement chain

Key features

Function

Supreme performance under high and

shock loads

Consistent overall tolerances make it

ideal for conveying systems requiring
precise alignment

Renold cement chains are used on:

Major suppliers to many original

equipment manufacturers
All Renold Chains manufacturing and
assembly processes are monitored by
Statistical Process Control (SPC) in
conformance with ISO 9000 (BS 5750)
Quality Systems
Renold chain has proven reliability in
cement works around the world
Excellent value for money
Product description
As applications are often specific, Renold
offers a full bespoke design to customers'
requirements.
As standard, Renold provides:
Excellent fatigue life
Consistent reliability
Full technical service
Options available on request include:
Lubrication options
Wide range of attachments

Maximum chain strength and resistance

to wear are achieved by strict control of
the material specification, and by using
state of the art heat treatment processes
Special materials selected for the unique
combination of demands from the
cement industry

Bucket elevators
Reclaim conveyors
Apron feeders
Hot clinker conveyors
Scrapers
Crusher feeders
Drying kilns

Fatigue life is improved by maintaining

precise fits and tolerances between the
pins, bushes and side plates

In fact, wherever chains are required in

cement works.

Chain and sprocket life are optimised

by the rigid control of pitch accuracy,
resulting in excellent gearing, lower
friction and reduced wear

This range of products represents a broad

overview of the solutions we can supply
into the Cement industry.

Bush and roller life are maximised by

controlling the concentricity of these
components and careful selection and
control of the heat treatment process

Your Renold sales team can provide more

details for any enquiry you may have.

Breaking loads exceed the minimum

international standards
Strict control of inner and outer plate
clearances ensures effective lubricant
penetration

Wide range of pin fixing methods

Experience

Wear resistance

Fatigue life

With over 100 years experience in designing

and manufacturing chain products for
tough industrial applications, you can be
assured that Renold chains have optimum
design features.

Pins and bushes (knuckles) are made from

alloy steel for maximum wear life and
toughness. Pins are through hardened and
induction hardened to provide maximum
wear resistance. The pins and bushes are
also centerless ground to improve wear life
and provide ideal fit between mating parts.

Plates are through-hardened for

maximum strength. The full round
pin and bush design maximises fatigue
life and plate hole accuracy ensures
optimum press fit.
