Our Products Used in the Steel Industry
The steel industry includes the production, processing and handling of steel and minerals. These processes often mean the conveying materials and components must be manufactured to withstand high temperatures and heavy working loads. In addition, this industry demands remarkable endurance, outstanding quality and Webster’s product lines fit perfectly.
Steel industry chains and conveyors include:
• Steel Bushed Roller Chains
• Cast Chains
• Apron Conveyors
• Hollow Pin Chains
• Draw Bench Chains
• Gull Wing Conveyor Chains
• Sprockets
Chain Products
Apron Conveyors
Apron conveyors are engineered to handle a variety of materials ranging from hot and abrasive to dry and fine.
Bar-link
Bar-link chains are sometimes called block and bar or steel block chains. This type of chain usually consist of two outer sidebars, one center bar, and two pins making up a two-link section. Bar-link chain usually do not have bushings, with the center bar flexing directly on the pin. Sprocket contact is with the ends of the center bars.
Metrics OEM Replacement Chains
Webster has the unique capability to retrofit most competitive, existing metric size floating attachment, central bucket elevator chains. Our chains are designed to fit into the existing OEM application, allowing the end user to utilize the same bucket punch hole sizes and locations, as well as run on the same traction wheels or sprockets.
Gull Wing Conveyor Chains - Automotive & Steel Rolls
Gull wing conveyor chains are used in transfer conveyors for skids with casters in the automotive industry. Larger versions are for steel roll handling. These chains can be custom designed in various sizes for specific application needs.
Hardened Steel Bushed (HSB) Chains
Hardened steel bushed (HSB) chains are designed as a substitute for combination chains where conditions require a heavier, more rugged chain.
Steel Bushed Roller (SBR) Chains
Steel bushed roller (SBR) chains are manufactured with heat treated rollers, hardened bushings and pins, and steel sidebars. The roller type construction provides a lower operating friction which helps increase chain life and reduces conveyor design requirements. They are available in a variety of sizes, configurations and designs and can be used in tough industrial applications. SBR chains come with a variety of standard attachments for immediate delivery.
Combination Type Drag Chain
Combination type drag chains are designed with sections heavier than comparable sizes of H type drag chains. The double offset wear shoes on the cast link provide wear surfaces for both carrying and return runs, thus increasing chain life.
H Type Drag Chains
H type drag chains have links designed to operate in troughs or runways, in single or multiple strands. The underside of the links are broad to provide liberal wear surface. They are designed for heavy-duty operation imposed by drag conveyor service such as moving sawdust, refuse, fine coal, ash and other material in places where an economical installation is required.
