FB Ketten

FB Ketten will be showing a number of products which have been developed especially for bulk handling. One of which is FB rEVOLUTION scraper chains. These combine the wear resistance of drop forged link chains with the innovative and field-proven features of modern welded conveyor chains. FB rEVOLUTION scraper chains are lighter; offer a bigger bearing surface and more space for welding attachments which is very important for scraper chains.

Split sprockets save 70 – 90 % of replacement cost

Also on display are a number customized sprockets which come into their own when the engineering time taken to remove sprockets involves the dismantling of large parts of the drive or when multiple sprockets are fitted on the same shaft. These sprockets save a lot of time and money altough the spare part costs might be slightly higher than solid sprockets. Split sprockets or sprockets with exchangable tooth rims will limit downtime and save a lot on maintenance and replacement costs.
