K&W Transmissies has, with its own and external R&D engineering departments, many years of experience when it comes to mechanical drive systems and conveyor systems for the automotive industry.
Specifically for the automotive industry, we deal with reliability of the employability of the chain in connection with the fully continuous production in the automotive industry, where failure of the production process is disastrous. Chains must have a high wear resistance, long life and reliable strength. 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 the body conveyor chains for the body construction, overhead conveyor chains for the painting area or floor conveyor chains of the final assembly of the cars. High-profile projects in the south of Limburg and Brabant are the proof of this. K&W Transmissies is thus always a strong and reliable contact for the installers of these kinds of conveyor systems.
Other industrial applications
The technical product specialists at K&W Transmissies, with their years of accumulated experience and knowledge, are capable of providing appropriate advice regarding the correct application of the various conveyor systems.
Together with the customer, they can come up with a solution concept. Internal and external R&D and engineering departments develop this concept further to reach a customized solution. The specialists at K&W Transmissies then work with the customer to choose the right producer, based on an optimal and comparable price-quality ratio. Partly because of the years of knowledge and experience, K&W Transmissies has built an intensive and extensive network with renowned European conveyor chain factories. The knowledge of application and materials they have accumulated over the years enables K&W Transmissies to respond directly to developments and therefore it has successfully become a leading provider of large and high-profile projects.
Insulating material industry
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 the insulating material industry.
As an expert partner of the industry, K&W Transmissies has a great deal of specific experience and knowledge. K&W Transmissies is thus always a strong and reliable contact for the installers of these kinds of conveyor systems.
In the production of insulation materials, the conveyor chains are inter alia used in collecting chambers, curing ovens, and chutes. Extreme conditions with aggressive and corrosive products, temperatures of up to 300°C as well as high transport speeds require special chain designs of an optimal production quality.
Passenger transportation
K&W Transmissies has a wide range of chains and sprockets for the application of mechanical drives in escalators and moving walkways/travelators for passenger transportation
Together with the engineering departments of renowned European chain factories, K&W Transmissies designs and develops quality conveyor chains that meet high safety requirements. During the production process there is optimal control of quality and delivery time.
Specific quality characteristics of these chains involve the extremely narrow dimensional tolerances of the chain parts. High precision and electronic measurement systems used during the production of the chain ensure smooth movement of the people.
Service and maintenance of the chains must be kept to a minimum, since these can only be carried out when the escalator is not in use. For this reason, quality and reliability are paramount for K&W Transmissies.
Machine and plant industry
K&W Transmissies is a supplier of conveyor chains to the machine and plant industry in a variety of different sectors, such as food, hydropower, steel industry, offshore, recycling, automotive etc.
The engineers of K&W Transmissies are familiar with the extensive market of the machine and plant industry, both project-wise and the serial-wise. Technological developments are being closely monitored. Of course, K&W Transmissies also has standard chains in stock, but often orders involve a special application developed with the external R&D engineering departments. Due to the large European network of chain factories, K&W Transmissies is able to deliver the right chain for the right application at the right quality-price ratio.
K&W Transmissies is thus a strong partner in the inventory management of the specific chain and can provide the just-in-time delivery of the goods on site according to the client’s wishes. For larger volumes, it is not unusual to place the OEM’s brand name or logo on the chain to protect the product.
One of the unique advantages of K&W Transmissies is that it has its own sprocket factory. Sprockets or gears can be modified from a standard or produced from solid materials based on drawings. For the machine builder it is just as economical in small quantities. Moreover, the company’s workshop is located on its own site, keeping communication lines short, prices attractive and delivery times short.
Asphalt industry
K&W Transmissies has a great deal of specific experience and knowledge related to the asphalt industry.
K&W Transmissies has, with its own and external R&D engineering departments, built up many years of experience when it comes to mechanical drive systems and conveyor systems for the asphalt industry. As an expert partner of the industry, K&W Transmissies has a great deal of specific experience and knowledge related to the asphalt industry. Therefore K&W Transmissies is always a strong and reliable contact for the installers of these kinds of conveyor systems. The chains are under the influence of great temperature variations, such as in the hot loader. Furthermore, we have to deal with large amounts of pollution, such as in the elevator and the filler loader, and high tensile strength. Specifically for this industry, K&W Transmissies takes into account the specific circumstances to develop appropriate solutions. An example is chains with highly refined materials and custom tolerances.
