To increase the protection against corrosion, chain parts can be chemically nickel-plated, nickel-plated or zinc-plated.

The use of functional coatings significantly increases the number of possible applications of conveyor chains. To increase the protection against corrosion, chain parts can be chemically nickel-plated, nickel-plated or zinc-plated. In order to reduce the wear on these chain bolts, they can be chemically nickel-plated or nitrided.

The conveyor chains can be produced in a reinforced version

Basic versions of conveyor chains are produced according to a basic standard. However, these conveyor chains can also be produced in a reinforced version. For example, chains can be made with an increased tensile strength and carrying capacity. This increase in strength can be obtained by using a higher grade steel and/or special heat treatments.

Polluted conveyor chains chain hinges can lead to increased wear and tear or prevent the chain from being lubricated effectively

When a conveyor chain must operate in a dirty environment, it is often undesirable that this dirt also enters into the hinges of the chain. Polluted chain hinges can lead to increased wear and tear or prevent the chain from being lubricated effectively. A possibility to prevent this debris from entering the hinge of the chain is the application of a seal between the inner and the outer plates. There are various possibilities, such as an O or X-ring seal, possibly in combination with a labyrinth seal. These chains are often designed with an internal lubrication channel.
