Pennine Launches Thin Washer Link And Spacer Chain

UK manufacturer Pennine Industrial has launched its new thin washer link and spacer chain. The chain follows the same assembly as its normal link and spacer chain, but uses new thinner washers. According to the company, the chain has two advantages over a normal link and spacer chain. There is a 25-30% more link surface, which gives improved resistance to elongation and link height wear. There is also a 50% reduction in the distance between links, which gives improved stability compared to a normal link and spacer chain. The chain is suitable for both IS machine and cross conveyor applications where an all link chain is not the preferred option due to weight and cooling.
