Advanced materials enhance scraper chains’ reliability

BMG’s Power Transmission division recently launched a new generation of Fenner scraper chains, now manufactured from advanced, more durable materials to deliver the highest performance in the industry.

“These new Fenner scraper chain links are precision-engineered and forged from a high-performance alloy, representing a notable advancement in both strength and reliability,” explains Leon Alberts, manager, Internal Operations, Mechanical Power Transmission Division, BMG. “Our new scraper chains, which are designed to withstand the toughest environments and handle the heaviest loads, offer several key

advantages over the previous generation. Important benefits include enhanced load capacity, improved impact and wear resistance and consistent performance in high temperature applications, as well as minimal downtime and extended service life.

“The new links maintain their integrity over longer cycles, significantly reducing replacement frequency and minimising downtime. Another advantage is that this chain is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring compatibility and trouble-free integration with an existing system.

“The transition from the previous-generation material been driven by our commitment to performance, advanced materials, the latest technologies and long-term value for our customers. This enhancement is not just an upgrade; it represents greater reliability for our customers.”

Key features of the advanced Fenner scraper chain include higher operational stresses without deformation, delivering increased safety and high performance in demanding applications.

This range has been designed to absorb shock and resist cracking under dynamic loads, ensuring greater resilience in heavy-duty operations. The upgraded material offers excellent strength retention at elevated operating temperatures – a major advantage in continuous, high-friction environments.
