Stenter Chains and Chain Parts

A stenter chain consists of connectors, U-shaped connectors, pins, bushes, dust cover screws, wear sleeves and other components. We sell all of them individually as well as the complete chain, which is what a maintenance department actually needs.

The Problem

Why This Category Exists

Chains are usually replaced when they could have been serviced, or serviced when they should have been replaced. The deciding measurement is chain pitch: while it gauges within tolerance, replacing wear parts is the better value; once elongation moves the pin bed out of register, nothing but a new chain will recover it.

Who This Is For

  • Finishing mills servicing chains on an annual schedule
  • Maintenance stores building a chain spares kit
  • Engineers planning a full chain-side overhaul during a shutdown

Problems It Solves

  • Chain elongation pulling the pin bed out of register
  • Copper mesh linings wearing out and letting the chain run loose
  • Small chain parts being unavailable individually from original suppliers
  • Chain drag limiting line speed
Core Advantages

What You Get From This Range

  • Every small component sold separately: connectors, U-shaped connectors, pins, bushes, dust cover screws, wear sleeves
  • PEEK bushes that replace the original copper mesh lining and last longer
  • Lightweight builds using lighter and stronger materials for smoother track running
  • Copper or PEEK sliders on Artos chains, chosen by rail condition
  • Oil-free guide and lubricated guide builds, correctly specified rather than substituted
  • Chain also made for Italian Ferraro and Lafer compacting machines
FAQ

Questions About Stenter Chains

What does a stenter chain consist of?

Connectors, U-shaped connectors, pins, PEEK or standard bushes, dust cover screws, wear sleeves and other components. We sell them individually as well as assembled.

How often should I service the chain?

Clean the guide and chain at least once a year and add a high temperature grease. DuPont, Miller and Kluber greases are used by our customers for this.

When should I replace rather than service?

Gauge the chain pitch. While it is within tolerance, replacing wear parts is better value. Once elongation stops the pin bed being held in register, replace the chain.

What does a PEEK bush do?

It is the wear-resistant lining between the pin and the chain, replacing the original copper mesh lining. Because PEEK is self-lubricating it is more wear resistant and lasts longer.

Can you supply chain for compacting machines?

Yes, for Italian Ferraro and Lafer compactors, made to your sample.

How is chain length specified?

By your machine run. Tell us the section you are replacing and we build to it.
