40 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk penetrates all parts of the chain , providing superior protection and extending the chain ’ s life . The technique ensures the chain maintains optimal performance , reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement .
Pre-loading for Extended Wear Life
All Attachment Chains from Donghua are pre-loaded , significantly reducing fatigue and extending wear life . Chains that lack sufficient pre-load can elongate during initial use , requiring early replacement . Donghua ’ s pre-loading process mitigates this issue , ensuring the chains remain durable and reliable over extended periods .
Precision Matching
Donghua ensures that Attachment Chains are matched to very close tolerances . This precision allows attachment links to engage with sprockets simultaneously , eliminating undue stress – a major cause of fatigue failure in attachments . This matching process enhances the overall reliability and performance of the chains .
