Definition
Mining chains are specialized heavy-duty chains designed for the harsh, abrasive and high-load environments found in mining operations. They are key components of a wide range of mining machinery, providing rugged and reliable performance for material handling, excavation and transportation.Collaborates with mining technology pioneers to provide customized cutter drive chains, sprockets, and belly conveyor chains, enhancing productivity with tailored solutions.
Working Environment: Mining chains often work in dusty, abrasive, wet, or corrosive environments, often in hot or extremely cold conditions, so their robustness and reliability are essential.
Main Features Analysis
1.Replaceable Alloy Teeth (Pick Tips)
Function: Designed for crushing, stirring, cutting, or anti-slip purposes.
Material: Typically made of tungsten carbide or wear-resistant alloys.
Advantages:Easy Maintenance: Simply replace the tooth tips when damaged.
Cost Reduction: Avoids the need to replace the entire chain link.
Enhanced Chain’s ‘Gripping Ability’: Improves the chain’s ability to handle hard materials.
2.Modular Link Structure
Each link consists of: a central block, connection plates or pins, and teeth.
Advantages: Convenient Disassembly and Assembly: Modular design allows for quick maintenance on-site.
Flexible Structure: The link length or arrangement can be adjusted according to different conveying environments.
3.Suitable for High-Temperature, High-Impact Conditions
Examples: Coke pushing systems (high-temperature coke), crushing conveyor lines (rock/slag), and hard rock cutting assistance conveyors in coal mines/tunnels.
Material: Mainly alloy steel with surface heat treatment (e.g., induction hardening).
4.High Tensile Strength and Strong Wear Resistance
The chain is designed to withstand continuous operation under high loads.
Often used in combination with forged links or roller chain drives.
5.Integrated Scraping/Crushing and Conveying Function
The teeth can lightly crush or push materials while simultaneously completing the conveying task.
Suitable for materials with stickiness or clumping (e.g., coke, wet coal,slag).
