Description
Renold are extensively experienced in building conveyor chains for theme parks around the world. The Trident Chain series tackles corrosion, seizure and wear.
Tackling Corrosion
Due to constant exposure to water, corrosion is often an issue on water ride chains. To address this, Renold has developed a dual process surface treatment to increase corrosion resistance. The zinc based specialised coating offers superior protection of the steel. Even when the coating is penetrated, the treatment continues to offer
Eliminating Seizure
Transfer and lift chain on rides can suffer from seizure of the bush and pin and significantly shorten the life of the chain. Through the development of a unique polymer sleeve, metal-to-metal contact is reduced, thereby eliminating the risk of the bush and pin seizure. This also provides lubrication-free operation and removes the need for any lubrication ports
Reducing Wear
Development of a heavy wall bush design overcomes premature wear and failure of the bush, and in most cases a shell roller can also be incorporated which reduces wear on sprocket teeth; increasing life of both the sprocket and chain – and reducing maintenance time and cost.
