Different Chain Grades

Industrial chains come in several shapes and sizes. That’s why most chains are labeled as being a specific grade. The larger the “grade” of a chain, the higher its strength. Whether the chains are welded or unwelded; made of iron or stainless steel, the uses for chains are just as diverse as what they are made of and how they are made.
One of the top performing grades of chain is the Chain Grade 100. One of the lowest grades of chains is grade 30This is known as proof coil chain.
50% stronger than Grade 30 chain, Grade 40/43 is the next grade above 30 and it is also known as high test chain. Towing, tying down loads and binding loads are just some of the uses for Grade 40/43 chain.
Each link in Grade 70 chain is heat-treated which makes it the perfect chain to use for binding loads and other transport uses. Grade 70 chain is 60% stronger than Grade 30 chain.
Lifting is an extremely typical use for Grade 80 chain. This chain should be made in accordance with the National Association of Chain Manufacturers (NACM) standards. The National Association of Chain Manufacturers grade designation should always best amped on Grade 80 chain.
Grade 100 chain is 25% stronger than Grade 80 chain. It should also always be stamped with the NACM Grade designation. Keep on visiting the official Elite Sales Inc.website for more information on NACM Grade chains, wire rope and much more.

New Wire Rope Stranding Machine Introduced by HPRA Introduces New Wire Rope Stranding Machines

High Performance Rope of America, also known as HPRA has just purchased a brand new industrial Wire Rope Stranding Machines to boost their capacity and diversify their products. The new equipment consists of machinery which is capable of producing steel wire strands for the 19,26 and 36 series. This brand new equipment can run at an incredible speed of 1,200 rpm which ensures they are the fastest in the market. By using these new machines, HPRA will increase their production to reach 1,400 metric tons every month moving forward.
The wire rope stranding machines consist of lengthy tubes and heavy steel components that were severed in parts to be able to fit in 40-ft containers. Four, 40-foot containers were required for each stranding machine.
Moving and unloading heavy machinery needs to be done with extreme caution. A team of professionals was hired to manage the strategy of the installation process.
Unloading, arranging the equipment by parts, organizing and verifying every single piece is just a handful of what needs to be accomplished by experienced professionals during this type of work.
Once everything has been unloaded, the hardest activity happens, which is arranging the wire rope spinning machines according to a blueprint inside the mill. Strong concrete foundations are required to support the vibration these machines cause while operating at high speed.
HPRA can only be purchased exclusively via Elite Sales, Inc.
