What are the plans to improve the anti-wear capabilities of Flow Conveyor Chain?
Within the Flow Conveyor Chains used to transport cement, etc., the BT Series was developed with innovations to the materials for the pin, bush and roller as well as the heat treatment process which allowed for an increase in the anti-wear capabilities of the individual parts. However, for the conveyance of the highly abrasive fly ash (one base material of cement) an even higher level of anti-wear was demanded. So, in June of 2000, Tsubaki introduced the Fly Ash Conveyor Chain (FA Series) which implements a special hardening treatment to the outer surface of bushes and rollers, greatly increasing the anti-wear properties and wear life of the chain.
