The water screen chain was changed to a low-noise specification to eliminate the sliding noise (squeak).
Large size conveyor chain
overview
When water screens start operating, they may make a squeaking noise as the metal chains rub against each other, which may be noticed by neighbors.
By using a chain with low noise specifications (plastic bushings), we were able to reduce the occurrence of this squealing noise.
Problem
Large size conveyor chain were making squealing noises as the metal pieces rubbed against each other.
Adopted products
Large size conveyor chain (water treatment facility)
This conveyor chain is designed specifically for water treatment equipment.
The drive chains for the scraper, sand scraper, water screen and each device can be selected from the most suitable materials (stainless steel, engineering plastic).
Please refer to Selection Guide for chains that can be used in each process of a water treatment facility.
*This example is for a special-purpose product that is not listed on Product Info site.
Benefits of adopting the product
By using a chain with low noise specifications (plastic bushings), we were able to reduce this squealing noise.
