Built for Efficient Conveyor Repairs & Reliable Everyday Operation

Every conveyor has a service life, but replacing an entire chain isn't always the most efficient solution. When the existing drive remains in good condition, fitting a quality replacement chain complete with compatible connecting links can restore dependable performance while keeping maintenance costs under control.

Finer Double Pitch Nickel Plated Chain & Connecting Links (KC) are designed for conveyor systems that benefit from the extended pitch of double pitch chain combined with the added protection of a nickel-plated finish. They're commonly selected for enclosed production areas, packaging facilities, warehouse conveyors & light industrial handling equipment where moderate corrosion resistance helps extend component life without the need for stainless steel.

Before installing replacement chain, it's worthwhile checking the condition of Sprockets – Simplex, Duplex, Taper Lock, Idler. A new chain running on worn sprockets rarely delivers the service life it was designed to achieve.

Why Does Double Pitch Chain Use Connecting Links?

Maintenance often comes down to how quickly equipment can be returned to production. Connecting links allow technicians to assemble or replace sections of conveyor chain without dismantling the entire conveyor, making routine servicing faster & more practical.

Double pitch chain uses a pitch that is twice the length of equivalent standard roller chain, reducing the number of links required across longer conveyor systems. The supplied connecting links complete the chain assembly & make future installation or replacement considerably easier.

These chains are frequently used on:

► Parcel handling conveyors
► Carton transport systems
► Assembly conveyors
► Agricultural grading equipment
► Textile production machinery
► Warehouse automation
► Light manufacturing conveyors
► Distribution centres

Where conveyor layouts include long unsupported sections, inspecting Conveyor Chain & Links during maintenance can help identify compatible replacement options across the wider conveying system.

What Makes Nickel Plated Chain a Practical Choice?

Environmental conditions influence chain life just as much as operating loads.

Nickel plating creates a protective surface that helps reduce corrosion caused by humidity & general atmospheric exposure, making it well suited to indoor industrial environments where untreated carbon steel may deteriorate more quickly.

Typical advantages include:

► Improved surface corrosion resistance
► Cleaner appearance for production equipment
► Suitable for enclosed conveying systems
► Reliable replacement connecting links included
► Reduced maintenance interruptions
► Compatible with many double pitch conveyor applications

For applications exposed to regular washdowns or aggressive chemicals, a stainless steel chain may be a more appropriate long-term solution than nickel plating.

Industries That Commonly Specify Nickel Plated Conveyor Chain

Logistics & Fulfilment

Distribution facilities rely on conveyor systems that operate for extended periods while moving thousands of cartons every day.

Consumer Goods Manufacturing

Assembly & packaging lines often favour nickel-plated chain where cleanliness & dependable operation are equally important.

Agricultural Processing

Sorting & grading equipment transporting lightweight produce frequently uses double pitch conveyor chain because it offers an efficient solution across long conveyor lengths.

Printing & Paper Handling

Continuous conveying of paper products requires smooth chain movement with minimal interruptions to production schedules.

Electronics Assembly

Controlled indoor environments commonly benefit from the improved corrosion resistance offered by nickel-plated chain components.

Product Selection Guide

Successful chain replacement starts with accurate identification rather than visual comparison.

Where lubrication consistency is difficult to maintain, reviewing Drive Lubrication Systems may help improve chain performance while reducing unnecessary wear.

Expert Tips From Planned Maintenance Programs

Experienced maintenance teams rarely wait for complete failure before replacing conveyor chain.

Instead, they monitor gradual changes that indicate wear is approaching service limits.

Useful inspection habits include:

► Compare chain elongation against original specifications.
► Inspect connecting links for excessive movement.
► Rotate sprockets slowly to identify uneven engagement.
► Remove accumulated debris before fitting replacement chain.
► Recheck chain tension after the conveyor has completed its initial operating cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Connecting links simplify chain installation & future maintenance by allowing the chain to be assembled without dismantling major conveyor components.

It offers improved corrosion resistance over untreated steel but is generally best suited to indoor or lightly corrosive environments. Outdoor or aggressive environments may require stainless steel.

Yes, provided the chain is modified using suitable tools & the correct connecting link configuration for the required finished length.

Check the existing chain series, pitch, roller dimensions & connecting link style before ordering replacement components.

Not always. Worn sprockets, poor alignment, incorrect tension or seized bearings can all affect conveyor performance even after new chain has been installed.

Store unused chain in a clean, dry location away from moisture & contaminants to help preserve the protective nickel-plated finish.
