900 Class Sugar Mill Chains 901 902 907 5174 Pintle Chains

The 900 Class Sugar Mill Chains, also known as 900 Class Pintle Chains, are heavy-duty chains designed specifically for the harsh, corrosive environments of sugar mills. Primarily used in intermediate carrier conveyors, they feature multiple strands with overlapping, beaded slats to form a continuous apron for transporting sugarcane or bagasse. Constructed from malleable iron or Promal, they include carbon steel heat-treated pins and case-hardened bushings, with options for stainless steel components for enhanced corrosion resistance. Their dual-barrel design accommodates double sprockets, preventing material build-up and ensuring smooth operation.

Key Features of 900 Class Sugar Mill Chains

The 900 Class sugar mill chains are designed for the demanding conditions of sugar processing. Here are the key features:

1. Robust Construction for Harsh Environments: These chains are built with high-strength materials like malleable iron or Promal, ensuring durability in abrasive, humid, and corrosive sugar mill conditions, withstanding heavy loads and continuous operation.
2. Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from stainless steel or specially coated alloys, 900 Class sugar mill chains resist corrosion caused by sugarcane juice, moisture, and chemicals, extending service life in harsh sugar processing environments.
3. High Load Capacity: Designed to handle heavy loads, these chains support the transportation of large volumes of sugarcane, bagasse, or syrup, ensuring reliable performance across various sugar mill processes.
4. Dual Barrel Design for Sprocket Compatibility: Featuring dual barrels on the open end of links, these chains accommodate double sprockets, preventing material build-up and ensuring smooth operation without chain jumping.
5. Replaceable Bushings: Pin holes include press-fitted, keyed bushings that are renewable, allowing worn bushings to be driven out and replaced, extending chain life and reducing maintenance costs.
6. Cottered or Riveted Construction: Typically furnished with cottered construction for secure assembly, these sugar mill chains can also be provided with riveted construction upon request, offering flexibility for specific sugar mill requirements.
7. Overlapping Beaded Slats for Conveyors: Multiple strands can be fitted with overlapping beaded slats to form a continuous apron conveyor, ideal for intermediate carrier service in sugar mills.
8. Heat-Treated Components: Equipped with carbon steel heat-treated pins and case-hardened bushings, these sugar mill chains offer enhanced wear resistance and strength, with stainless steel options available for added durability.

Applications of 900 Class Sugar Mill Chains

1. Cane Reception and Unloading: These chains facilitate the unloading of sugarcane from trucks and feed it into the milling process. They withstand heavy loads, abrasive cane stalks, and corrosive juice, ensuring reliable operation in humid environments. Their robust design handles impacts and maintains efficiency during high-volume harvesting.

2. Intermediate Carrier Conveyors: Used in intermediate carrier conveyors, 900 Class chains transport crushed sugarcane between processing stages. Multiple strands with overlapping beaded slats form a continuous apron, ensuring seamless transfer and temporary storage, enhancing process continuity and efficiency.

3. Bagasse Conveying: These sugar mill chains move bagasse, the fibrous byproduct of sugar extraction, to storage, further processing, or boilers for steam generation. Their corrosion-resistant materials and high load capacity ensure durability and efficiency in wet, abrasive conditions, supporting sustainable mill operations.

4. Milling Operations: In milling, these chains transport shredded cane between mill rolls to extract juice. They endure impacts from cane, exposure to juice, mud, and bagasse, and maintain strength under high-pressure conditions, ensuring consistent juice extraction performance.
