Mining and Quarry Chain Solutions

Mining and quarry work puts chains under abrasive dust, shock loading and long centre distances. UIB Chain supplies heavy-duty conveyor chains, double-pitch conveyor chains, attachment chains and matching sprockets for crushers, screens, stackers and bulk material handling lines, manufactured to ISO 606, ANSI B29.1 and DIN 8187.

Chains typically specified for mining duties

What to tell us when specifying

Chain selection for mining is driven by duty, not size alone. Useful details are:

  • material being conveyed and maximum particle size
  • load per metre and chain speed
  • centre distance and number of sprockets
  • ambient temperature, dust and washdown exposure
  • lubrication access and maintenance interval

Send these and we will come back with the chain series, attachment type and sprocket details.

Materials and standards

Materials: 40Mn carbon steel as standard; SUS304, SUS316, SUS318 and SUS420 stainless steel for corrosion or washdown duties; nickel and zinc plated chains on request.

Standards: ISO 606, ANSI B29.1 (A-series) and DIN 8187 (B-series). Non-standard chains are made to drawing or sample.

Supply and lead time

Standard sizes are held in stock and ready to ship. Custom chains are produced in 10 to 30 days depending on the specification. Annual export volume is around 1,000,000 metres of roller and conveyor chain.
