RUD round link steel chains
RUD round steel chains are robust, have a long service life and are suitable for every conveying task. Our many years of experience in shaping, welding, heat treatment and surface technology have taught us which chain is best for your requirement.
The new RUD chain grades offer you optimum wear resistance and a long service life. It is the heat treatment that the RUD round steel chains used for conveying equipment undergo that gives them their exceptional strength and makes them low-maintenance, compared to other systems.
RUD round link chain R160
Tough and double service life.
RUD offers its customers nothing less than double the service life in the use of bucket elevators and ash removal systems – the new round steel chain RUD R160 has been optimised with regard to a longer service life. A specially alloged chain steel significantly improves the wear behaviour with the same breaking force. With a breaking stress of 400 N/mm2 designed for particularly rough and heavy duty scenarios (e.g. de-ashers with high abrasive fly ash content in coal-fired power plants), it now doubles the standard operating life compared with other chain types and thus significantly increases the operating life cycle of the entire system.
The round steel chain RUD R160 offers improved technical features that contribute to higher economic efficiency and operational safety. In combination with other products in the portfolio, RUD offers its customers the most innovative tailor-made solutions.
