Forged central bucket elevator chain

High-speed bucket elevators are used in many industries for vertical transportation of various fine and coarse bulk materials, including highly abrasive ones, such as lime-stone, clinker, cement, coal, fertilizers, etc. Drag chains, the main element of the elevator, are subject to high static and dynamic loads and mechanical wear. In 2017, as a result of intensive R&D work, German KettenWulf brought a new engineering solution to the market, forged central chains for bucket elevators. This efficient, reliable and cost-efficient product remains unique in its technical characteristics to this day.
