Does flipping the conveyor chain extend the life of the chain? Has anyone done this before and can they confirm that they go added life from the chain? What would you say the average life of a chain is 400,000-500,000 cars?
Out of curiosity what was the maintenance? I recall in the olden days Chain oilers. There were also heavy surface log chains. Talk about breaking a chain or something else if the vehicle wheels locked with a chain attached..................... the owner was meticulous in maintaining the chain and doing weekly scheduled maintenance. ..........................
Old style? You are the master of the understatement!................... Our conveyors were the old style that had continuous rollers so the rollers took a beating when they sometimes were driven over.
I had had one those also. It was surface mounted and used log chain.Old style? You are the master of the understatement!
