BMG has been appointed by HEKO Ketten as official distributors in southern Africa of Heko conveyor components, including round link chains.
“High wear-resistant HEKO components for bulk material conveyors, which are manufactured in Germany to pristine quality standards, enhance BMG’s extensive range of chain products,” explains Carlo Beukes, business unit manager, power transmission division, BMG. “Through the supply and support of HEKO products, BMG boosts its solutions service to its broad customer-base, by optimising the efficiency of bulk material conveyor systems.
“Of importance to the local market are round link chains, which have been developed by HEKO for bucket elevators and chain conveyors. These components are suitable for use in various sectors, including mining and quarrying, cement, chemical and incinerating plants, paper production, food and beverage, as well as artificial manure and general machine industries.”
HEKO chains – known globally for high fatigue strength and close length tolerance of chain pairs – are manufactured from durable materials, including manganese, chrome-nickel and fine grain chrome-nickel alloy steels. Advanced computer-controlled heat-treatment processes are employed to produce tempered or case-hardened chains.
Advantages of case hardening include a high breaking load, resulting from a tough, fine grain core and high wear-resistance, from a minimum surface hardness of 800 HV. In addition to six standard hardening depths, BMG also offers Heko products with hardening depths to suit specific requirements. The range comprises round steel chains, bucket and scraper attachments, chain wheels, buckets and shafts, as well as complete return and tensioning units. Heat-resistant ring kiln chains for rotary kilns are also available.
BMG’s national branch network offers a technical advisory service on correct chain selection, which is a critical factor in power transmission systems.
