The Challenge

In animal feed production environments, dry and dusty conditions can prove challenging for conveyor chain operation. One major feed producer experienced numerous operational issues related to contamination and frequent lubrication challenges. Along with its need for unorthodox chain lengths when replacement was required, the producer sought a solution for this expensive, ongoing hassle.

The Solution

Diamond-Drives service engineers identified Drives® Extended Life CHP® as an ideal chain replacement for the dusty environment. This chain features chrome-hardened pins that provide an extremely hard, durable surface to decrease the wear between the pin and bushing. The Drives chain solution actively fights against wear and elongation in harsh conditions leading to reduced downtime and significant savings.

The Result

  • $19,651 in annual savings
  • Reduced maintenance and lubrication requirements
  • Eliminated regular maintenance requirements
  • Major reduction in downtime
