Pennine Industrial has been working for 3 years with the mechanical engineering department at the University of Huddersfield to conduct research into silent chain for conveyors in the glass industry. As a direct result of this research, Pennine has launched its Series 2 conveyor chains and has made improvements to the original Pennine Premier conveyor chain. All Series 2 chains are pre-lubricated with a high temperature graphite lubricant with a working temperature of 600 deg C. The Series 2 chains have pins incorporating a new additional pre-lubricated bearing surface, and have links with improved stamping giving smoother load and wear on all driving surfaces. Pennine has been awarded an EU patent for its head protector link (HPL) system. For more information please see the website: www.pennine.org
