Agricultural chains are specially designed roller chains used in various farming equipment and machinery for tasks such as conveying, driving, lifting, and power transmission in agricultural applications. These chains are built to withstand the demanding conditions and requirements of the agricultural industry, including exposure to dirt, debris, moisture, and heavy loads.
Types of Agricultural Chains:
Conveyor Chains: Used in grain handling equipment, conveyors, and material handling systems.
Drive Chains: Transmit power from the engine to various components like wheels, belts, or shafts in tractors and other farm machinery.
Lift Chains: Utilized in equipment for lifting and moving heavy loads, such as in hay balers or harvesting machinery.
Gathering Chains: Found in harvesting equipment to gather crops like corn or beans efficiently.
Manure Spreader Chains: Specifically designed for spreading manure evenly in fields.
Agricultural chains come in various sizes, pitch configurations, materials, and coatings to suit different farming applications. Proper maintenance, lubrication, and periodic inspection are crucial to ensure the longevity and performance of agricultural chains in the field.
