Heavy Industry Conveyor Chain Solutions for the World's Toughest Applications
Specialist Conveyor Chains for Wood, Pulp & Paper, Cement, Mining, and Heavy Industrial Applications
We specialise in heavy industry solutions, particularly for the energy, wood, paper, mining, cement and recycling industries. For the vast majority of applications in conveyor chains, their operation must be absolutely reliable. That's why our chains are made to withstand the toughest of applications; load and static forces.
Wood Industry – Heavy-Duty Replacement Chains for Sawmills & Timber Processing
In sawmills and timber yards, conveyor chains are constantly exposed to heavy shock loads, sand, and severe wear. FB Ketju manufactures high-strength, precision-engineered conveyor chains specifically built for log sorters, feed conveyors, wood chips, and timber handling. Built to operate reliably where heavy bulk materials attempt to wear down or detach chain components.
-
Conveyor chains in sawmills must withstand high impact, continuous stress and loads caused by logs and bulk material. FB Ketju conveyor chains are used in applications such as log sorters, feeder conveyors and chip and timber handling.
-
Conveyor chain life in sawmills can be improved by selecting a chain design and material suitable for the operating conditions and by maintaining proper lubrication and preventive maintenance. Chain and sprocket wear should be monitored regularly.
-
Choosing a long-lasting replacement chain starts with understanding the conveyor's application, the material being conveyed, the load and the operating conditions. In wood processing, chains are often exposed to dust, contaminants and varying loads. A properly specified chain designed for the application can help reduce wear, maintenance needs and unplanned downtime. FB Ketju manufactures industrial conveyor chains for a wide range of demanding applications.
-
Conveyor systems in biomass facilities require chains capable of handling heavy loads, abrasive materials and demanding operating conditions. FB Ketju is a Finnish manufacturer of industrial conveyor chains, providing chain solutions for demanding industrial applications. Each chain is selected and specified according to the application, conveyed material and technical requirements of the conveyor system. FB Ketju's expertise helps customers identify a suitable solution for their operating needs.
-
Conveyor chains used for biomass handling must withstand wear, loads and varying material properties. FB Ketju conveyor chains are used for transporting biomass-based fuels such as wood waste and straw. The chain solution can be selected according to the conveyed material and operating conditions.
-
Fuel handling in power plants requires reliable conveyor chains that can withstand wear and heavy loads. FB Ketju solutions are used in energy production for transporting biomass and other fuels.
Biomass & Energy Industry – Wear-Resistant Conveyor Chains for Power Plants
FB conveyor chains are engineered for long service life and heavy-duty wear resistance in power plants and energy facilities. They ensure high-efficiency material handling for abrasive biomass fuels, including wood waste, bark, straw, and poultry litter. Customized flights and specialized heat treatments prevent costly unexpected downtime.
Paper & Pulp Industry – Corrosion & Wear-Resistant Chains for Pulp Mills
Reliability is critical, as unplanned downtime in the paper and pulp industry is particularly costly. FB chains can withstand high shocks, for example in bark drum feed conveyors, and ensure a smooth and even movement when transferring paper rolls.
Cement Industry – Conveyor Chains Resistant to Dust and Wear
FB conveyor chains are resistant to shocks, abrasion and fatigue, making them ideal for transporting abrasive materials such as cement and hot slag. They are widely used in bucket elevators, crushers, drying kilns, etc.
Mining Industry – High-Strength Conveyor Chains for Heavy Aggregate
In the mining industry, chains are required to offer exceptional breaking strength and wear resistance. FB Ketju manufactures chain solutions made from specially hardened steel that can withstand the transport of heavy aggregates, crushed rock and ore without suffering premature wear. Heavy-duty applications in the mining industry require high-quality specialised chains suitable for both stationary and mobile equipment.
Recycling Industry – Heavy-Duty Conveyor Chains for Waste & Material Handling
Materials in the recycling industry (metal, plastic and municipal waste) subject conveyors to heavy impact loads and wear. FB Ketju’s conveyor chains, components and links for recycling plants incorporate parts made from hardened steel to ensure maximum hardness and durability. We also offer solutions made from stainless or acid-resistant steel for specialised applications.
Steel Industry – Chain Solutions Designed to Withstand High Temperatures and Heavy Loads
Conveyors in the steel industry are exposed to extreme temperatures, heavy steel products and severe mechanical stress. FB Chain’s conveyor chains ensure reliable transport, withstand abrasion and cope with high temperatures when transporting hot materials.
Fertilizer Industry – Chemically Resistant Chain Solutions
Chains used in the fertilizer industry must offer excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, as fertilisers contain corrosive chemicals and abrasive substances. FB chains can withstand heavy loads, dust and temperature fluctuations; furthermore, they are designed to be low-maintenance and long-lasting in demanding production processes.
