K&W Transmissies has, with its own and external R&D engineering departments, many years of experience when it comes to mechanical drive systems for hydropower projects.
As an expert partner of the industry, K&W Transmissies has a great deal of specific experience and knowledge when it comes to the application of locks. High-profile projects in Eefde and Delden are proof of this. K&W Transmissies is thus always a strong and reliable contact for the installers of these kinds of conveyor systems.
Sugar industry
K&W Transmissies has extensive knowledge and experience regarding increasing the service life of chains for the sugar industrie
The Netherlands has a number of sugar-producing companies. Sugar is manufactured from sugar beets. The sugar beets are brought to the factory in trucks. Here the sugar beets are conveyed from the feed point to the factory. This is done with a conveyor system, using very heavy conveyor chains. These chains are sometimes refurbished instead of replaced. The pins and bushings of the chain are worn down by the filthy environment. K&W Transmissies has extensive knowledge and experience regarding increasing the service life of these chains.
Bulk material handling industry
K&W Transmissies supplies conveyor chains to transport all kinds of bulk materials, such as sand, stone, construction waste, coal, salt, grain, fertilizers and soil.
Many of these chains run in installations, which are arranged in the air. Partly as a result of this, high demands are placed on the chain’s corrosion and wear resistance. K&W Transmissies has extensive experience in the handling of sugar beets, coal and grain conveyance. Each product has its own specific characteristics and associated conveyor chains. The knowledge and experience that K&W Transmissies has gained in many different projects adds great value for troubleshooting and optimization of these chains.
Stone industry
The chains used in the stone industry require a high degree of wear resistance.
The conveyor system, where the stones are lying directly on the chains, becomes very heavily loaded, shortening the lifespan. The quality of the steel of the link plates and the rollers determines the lifespan of the chain. Here the correct choice regarding quality and price is important for finding the most economic solution. Further, the chains that are used in the stone elevators are made of special materials with high-quality hardened. K&W Transmissies is a major supplier of these chains and therefore has several types in stock.
Steel industry
The harsh environmental factors in the steel industry ensure that there are high demands placed on the conveyor chains.
Each application requires different constructions, taking into account the weight of what is conveyed, the speed at which it is conveyed and the extremely hot or dusty environmental conditions. The chains of K&W Transmissies are suitable for most of the processes in the steel industry. Special sliding and roller bearing techniques are used as well as curing techniques. The chains that transport the coils from the production area to the warehouse are very heavily burdened. These chains, with a pitch of 500 or 630 mm, often have outer ball bearing flange rollers. These bearings require specific technical qualities, whereby the price element is an important factor. K&W Transmissies has extensive experience in the industry.
Environment
The application of chains in the environmental technology sector is very diverse.
Many installations, which are used for example for the cleaning of paint cans, operate in a highly aggressive environment. For example, they are exposed to chemicals, extremely high or low temperatures, and high speeds. The development of these often unique installations requires a lot of knowledge of materials and chemical properties. K&W Transmissies’ practical experience and knowledge of technology make it the ideal sparring partner. It is important for the realization of the set requirements to maintain an understanding of the costs which determine the success of a finished concept.
