Good quality Conveyor forging material drop forged Scraper Chain for mining with link
Product Description
DROP FORGING is a manufacturing process that involves shaping heated metal by hammering it into dies. This process produces chains with superior strength and durability compared to chains made using other methods. In mining environments where chains are subjected to high loads, abrasion, and harsh conditions, drop forged scraper chains offer excellent resistance to wear and damage. ensures that every link of our DF drop forged series chains is meticulously made using professional manufacturing techniques and subjected to rigorous quality control measures. This dedication guarantees the reliability and consistent performance of the chains in demanding mining environments.

Key Benefits
Superior Strength and Durability: The drop forging process makes the metal's grain structure more uniform, giving the chain links extreme strength, toughness, and resistance to bending, breaking, and fatigue. This is essential for handling heavy abrasive loads in continuous operation.
Superior Wear and Abrasion Resistance: Forged chain links, combined with special heat treatment processes such as case hardening, provide excellent resistance to abrasive wear caused by contact with minerals, coal, and rock. This means longer service life.
High Impact Resistance: Mining environments often have large, lumpy pieces of material falling onto conveyors, causing huge impact loads. Drop forged chains are designed to absorb these impact forces without failure.
Reliability in Harsh Environments: They are able to operate continuously in extreme conditions common in mining operations, such as extreme dust, moisture, corrosive materials, and temperature changes.
Positive and Efficient Material Handling: The scrapers mounted on the chain ensure positive drive, effectively pushing bulk materials along the trough or closed housing, minimizing spillage and ensuring a steady flow of material.
Reduced Elongation: The inherent strength of the forged chain links helps minimize chain stretch (elongation) over time, maintaining proper pitch and reducing wear on sprockets and other components.
Customizable Attachments: The chain link design easily accommodates welded or bolted-on flights of various designs and materials, providing a customized solution for specific material handling needs.
Reduced Maintenance Costs: Its rugged construction and high wear resistance extend maintenance intervals, reducing downtime and overall operating costs.
Applications
Chain Conveyors/Chain Conveyors:
Underground Mining (Longwall Systems): This is the primary application, especially in Chain Conveyors (AFCs) that are the backbone of longwall mining. They carry large quantities of coal from shearers to main roadway conveyors.
Underground Material Handling: Used to transport coal, ore or waste through tunnels and roadways.
Bottom ash and slag handling: In mining-related power plants or process plants, for conveying abrasive and often hot ash or slag from boilers and furnaces.
Feeding systems: For heavy feeders to control the flow of run of ore (ROM) into the process circuit.
Coal handling plants: For conveying coal within a coal preparation plant, including conveying coal of various sizes and moisture levels.
Cement industry: For conveying raw materials, clinker (often hot and abrasive), and finished cement, especially in areas that are difficult to convey with conventional conveyor belts.
Pulp and paper industry (mining-related): For conveying wood chips, bark, and other heavy, abrasive materials that are often transported by drag chain systems.
Recycling and waste-to-energy plants (handling mining waste): For conveying a variety of heavy, abrasive, or difficult-to-handle waste materials generated in mining operations.
