Types of Agricultural Chains

Here are some of the most common types of chains used in agricultural machinery. They are part of the transmission chain group.

• Agricultural Roller Chains

Agricultural roller chains come in various designs and materials. Some models feature plain designs, while others have attachments like bars, pushers, and other components. Despite their similarities, these chains offer superior strength, greater durability, and less wear. These products are used in the production of fertilizers, pesticides, and other agricultural goods. There are many types of agricultural roller chains.

• A-Type Agricultural Roller Chain

A-type chains are widely used in agriculture and livestock. A-Type agricultural roller chains are made from high-quality steel and feature two adjusting screws. They have the same characteristics as A-Type chains but are more affordable. A-Type agricultural roller chains are used in applications with limited clearance. Compared to their non-steel counterparts, A-Type agricultural roller chains feature heat-treated rollers and side plates. A-Type agricultural roller chains are ideal for a wide range of agricultural applications.

• MR-Type Agricultural Roller Chain

The MR-Type agricultural roller chain is the steel version of malleable iron chains. Initially, it was designed to replace malleable chains with a steel equivalent to provide smoother operation and greater tensile strength. Typically, these chains are applied in round balers, feed wagon elevators, and combine harvesters. They are also used for material handling.

• CA-Type Agricultural Roller Chain

The CA-Type Agricultural Roller Chain is one of the most common ag chain types. Its open barrel design makes it ideal for applications where the chain has limited clearance. This type of agricultural roller chain is often equipped with two adjustment screws for easy assembly. Additionally, CA-type chains are more resistant to rust than A-type chains.

• Cast H-Type Mill Chain

The Cast H-Type Mill Chain is an industrial-grade, high-strength steel chain with precision-cored pin holes. Its welded or riveted design allows it to operate on sprockets that can be replaced with WH78 welded steel chains. Its design accommodates a wide range of spans and diameters, ranging from 2.308 to 4.000 inches.

• Steel Pintle Chain

The steel pintle chain is an agricultural device used for conveying and power transmission. Its open barrels help prevent material buildup and jamming. These chains are ideal for agricultural applications because they are equipped with heat-treated, riveted pins designed to withstand the most demanding operating environments.

• Pressed Steel Chain

The Pressed Steel Chain is a versatile chain designed for agriculture. It is commonly used in hay bale elevators, manure spreaders, and live bottom trailers. Due to its reliability and affordability, it has also been adopted by many other industries.

• Detachable Chain

Detachable chains are a type of industrial belt used in various industrial applications. They are primarily made of steel and can be easily disassembled and repaired during use. They are commonly used in farm equipment such as hay bale elevators and manure spreaders.

• Agricultural Power Roller Chain

The Agricultural Power Roller Chain is a chain specifically designed for agricultural applications. It is a robust and durable product ideal for various agricultural uses. Agricultural power roller chains are available with sprocket gears, making them perfect for transporting hay, straw, corn, and other agricultural products. These products are also highly affordable and easy to use.
