Cutting-edge chain solutions for the food industry
From farm to fork , the quest for efficiency , safety and sustainability drives new technologies and methodologies in the food sector . The Hangzhou Donghua Chain Group is a leading manufacturer of high quality chain solutions . Through its ongoing commitment to R & D , the company has developed a range of cuttingedge chain solutions for the Food Processing industry .
Like many sectors , the Food Processing industry demands chain that offers the maximum working life with the minimal maintenance downtime . Any downtime , but especially unplanned maintenance , adversely impacts productivity .
Donghua Limited is the UK subsidiary and we stock an extensive portfolio of Conveyor chain , Roller chain and Attachment chain in our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in the West Midlands . Our range of chain is supplied in a variety of materials and finishes including :
Special Coatings
Donghua ’ s food industry chain includes special alloy coatings to protect against corrosion caused by aggressive wash down procedures .
Lubrication
H1 Food Grade lubrication is applied to the chain ( subject to application requirements ) in our UK workshop . By hot-dipping lubricant , it reaches parts of the chain that normal lubrication does not reach .
Pre-loading
Attachment chain is preloaded as standard to help reduce fatigue and extend the wear life of inhouse built chain . Chain with little or no pre-load will suffer significant elongation during initial use and will need to be changed sooner .
Matching
Attachment chain is matched to within very close tolerances to ensure the attachment links engage with the sprockets simultaneously , thereby
Any downtime , but especially unplanned maintenance , adversely impacts productivity .
eliminating undue stress which is a major cause of fatigue failures on attachments .
Innovative food production chain includes :
Polymer Conveyor chain – designed to prevent the ingress of foreign matter and reduce maintenance costs and downtime . Manufactured using food grade engineering plastic , the lightweight Polymer chain is lubefree .
Universal Attachment chain – a ‘ one chain fits all ’ solution which replaces 99 per cent of other manufacturer ’ s chain . Built in the UK specifically for the distribution market .
Drytec chain – built to specific customer requirements and manufactured to the highest standards with bespoke attachments .
Donghua chain is compatible with the leading food equipment manufacturers , and has quickly become the chain of choice for companies in the food processing industry . Produced to very narrow tolerances , chain from the same production batches are on average within 1 / 3 DIN standards .
