The Challenge

In a critical dry milling operation, one major agricultural processor experienced frequent, continuing failure of the application’s drive chain due to grain dust abrasion. With a short wear life and continuous need for replacement, the operator sought a new drive chain solution.

The Solution

The agricultural processor made the switch to Drives® Extended Life CHP® roller chain, featuring a harder wear surface ideal for dry, abrasive environments. This chain features chrome-hardened pins that provide an extremely hard, durable surface to decrease the wear between the pin and bushing. After switching to Drives chain, the agricultural customer saw double the wear life of the previous chain, resulting in $19,000 in annual savings.

The Result

• Doubled wear life in drive chain
• Minimized replacement and maintenance needs
• Major annual cost savings
