Donghua chain on the menu
The Food Processing industry demands chain that offers maximum working life with reduced maintenance downtime – and with chain that is compatible with the leading food equipment manufacturers , Donghua has quickly become the chain of choice .
Donghua Limited , the UK arm of one of the world ’ s largest chain manufacturers , has an enviable 25,000 sq ft warehouse in the West Midlands packed with high quality chain used throughout the food processing industry .
H1 FOOD GRADE LUBRICATION
Our chain is supplied in a range of materials and finishes including H1 lubrication which is commonly used in food processing environments where there is the possibility of food contact . Our chain is hot-dipped in a metal vat so it penetrates into bearing areas which standard lubrication would not reach . As the chain cools , surplus lube drains away leaving an oil deposit inside the chain . The initial lubrication of chain is the most important a chain receives and helps to significantly extend wear-life .
Our special alloy coating also protects against corrosion caused by wash down procedures .
PRE-LOADING AND MATCHING OF CHAIN
Our food chain is also pre-loaded and matched which helps to reduce fatigue and extend the wear-life of chain . Chain that has little or no pre-load applied will suffer significant elongation during initial use and will need to be changed sooner .
Matching of chain to within a close tolerance maintains high length accuracy along the entire length which is particularly important when two chains are used in parallel . Donghua chain is produced to very narrow tolerances and chain from the same production batches are on average within 1 / 3rd DIN standards . Using our in-house chain length measuring machine means production tolerances can be even further improved .
Key chain supplied to the food processing industry include :
Polymer Chain – plastic conveyor chain designed specifically to prevent the ingress of foreign matter and reduce maintenance costs and downtime . With less moving parts and with no roller to wear down , this chain reduces the need for additional maintenance .
Stainless Steel Chain including Drytec chain which is designed with plastic sleeves – provides maximum wear life due to its corrosion resistance . Suitable for use in high and low temperature conditions .
Bespoke Chain – specially designed attachment chain , built to client requirements .
Universal Attachment Chain – our ‘ one chain fits all ’ attachment chain which replaces 99 % of other manufacturer ’ s chain . Available in standard , nickel plated , zinc coated , self-lubricating and stainless steel finishes .
