Common Diameter of Round Steel Chains
• Φ13mm: This size is generally suitable for small or low-load link chain bucket elevators. It is commonly utilized when the conveying volume is small and the materials have a low density.
• Φ14mm: It can be employed for conveying ordinary powdery and granular materials. This diameter offers sufficient strength for such common industrial substances.
• Φ18mm: Appropriate for medium conveying capacities and material densities, it is capable of lifting materials like cement and coal, which are frequently handled in construction and energy industries.
• Φ20mm: When there is a need to convey large quantities of high-density materials, the Φ20mm chain is a viable option. It can withstand the heavier loads associated with such operations.
• Φ22mm: This diameter is used to meet the requirements of high conveying capacities and high material densities. It ensures reliable transportation under more demanding conditions.
• Φ26 - 42mm: Generally used in large bucket elevators (TH630 and above), these chains can bear larger loads. They are suitable for large-scale production, such as in cement factories, for efficiently conveying lumpy materials or large amounts of powdered substances.
Pitch of Round Steel Chains for Bucket Elevator
In cement plant, common pitch values include 56mm, 70mm, 80mm, 91mm, 100mm, 101mm, 105mm, 120mm, and 126mm. A larger pitch of the bucket elevator chain can provide stronger traction. As a result, it is suitable for conveying materials that are both dense and have large particle sizes, like the large lump ores found in cement production.
Most Frequently Used Chain End Specifications
The number of links is typically odd. Usually, the chain ends adopt 5 - or 7 - link chains. There are also other odd-numbered chain links, such as 29, 47, 79, and 83. When ordering replacement bucket elevator chains, it is essential to check the number of chain links of the original equipment. Otherwise, it may cause a mismatch with the machine, leading to difficulties for the maintenance team. The detailed procurement parameters must be consistent with those provided by the maintenance team.
Order Your Bucket Elevator Round Steel Chain by Providing the Correct Ordering Parameters
The ordering parameters for bucket elevator chains are expressed as diameter x pitch x number of links, for example, D26xP91x7 links. Additionally, it is advisable to provide the minimum breaking force parameter rating of the original machinery chain. This information helps in selecting a replacement chain that can endure the same operational stresses.
