Application

The HGSS ring chain is widely used in:

  • Port and wharf grain handling systems
  • Rice mills
  • Flour mills
  • Oil and seed processing plants
  • Food processing factories
  • Bulk material conveying systems

Precision and Manufacturing

Our HGSS conveyor ring chain is manufactured with strict control over key dimensions to ensure reliable performance.

The tolerance of pitch and width between inner plates is controlled within ±0.4 mm, which is critical for maintaining smooth engagement and stable operation of the conveyor system.

This level of precision helps:

  • Reduce vibration and noise
  • Ensure smooth chain movement
  • Improve overall system reliability

The installation spacing for nylon scrapers is typically one scraper every four chain links.
We recommend adding one PU scraper after every 4–6 nylon scrapers to effectively remove material residue from the scraper slot.
