Unlock the efficiency of your farm machinery

Donghua’s agricultural chain is designed to optimise efficiency, reduce labour costs and increase overall productivity – providing a vital link in materials handling. Here, the manufacturer outlines the key benefits and features of its chain and chain product range.

Efficient materials handling is at the heart of every thriving agricultural operation. From planting to harvesting to processing and packaging, the movement of goods and produce needs to be seamless, says Donghua, manufacturer of chain and chain products.

Modern-day farms are sophisticated hubs of productivity, and the need for cutting-edge technology and efficient processes is critical. That’s where Donghua says its chain comes in – providing a vital link in material handling, the company reckons.

The Hangzhou Donghua Chain Group boasts a rich history of producing high quality, innovative chains in its state-of-the-art facilities. Its agricultural chain is designed to meet the diverse and demanding needs of modern farming, making it a trusted partner for farmers across the UK.

Key advantages of agricultural chain

• “Unparalleled durability” – built to withstand the harshest of conditions, ensuring continuous operation even in the most challenging environments
• Precision engineering – engineered with precision, resulting in minimal wear and tear providing end-users with reduced downtime and maintenance and allowing farmers to focus on what they do best
• Enhanced efficiency – designed to optimise efficiency, reduce labour costs and increase overall productivity
• Versatility – a range of options from roller chains to conveyor chains, ensuring there’s a solution for every material handling requirement
• Unique features – designed with super-high breaking loads, heat treated and pre-tensioned with chrome pins, and high interference between pins and plates.

Donghua’s UK headquarters in the West Midlands includes a 25,000 sq ft warehouse, technical workshop and testing laboratory. With approved product partners, approved stockists and distributors across the UK and Ireland, the company says it is well placed to support farmers when they need replacement agricultural chain. Donghua produces chain for all the major farm machinery manufacturers.

What does the chain range include?

Donghua’s chain range includes the following products:

Heavy Super Power (HSP) Chain – This is popular in the UK as it’s incredibly robust with ultimate tensile strength up to 50% than DIN standard chains. Its wide waist plates give extreme fatigue strength and high interference between pins and plates. It is ideal for use on balers, Donghua reckons.

Mark V agriculture chain – A range of zinc coated chain providing added durability. It is anti-corrosive, waterproof and longer lasting than standard agricultural chain, and built in the UK workshop.

Pintle chain and attachments – Designed with an open barrel which minimises pin surface contact with the chain gearing face, it cleans the tooth root and removes any lodged material during use minimising material build-up which causes blockage, corrosion and potential seizure. Heat-treatment of parts during manufacture, including hardened steel pins, optimises wear-life making the Pintle Chain highly durable.

Combine replacement chain kit– Donghua also offers a complete replacement chain kit for each make and model of combine harvesters used in the UK. It can identify the correct chain from the make and model or the OEM part number.

When you need to unlock the efficiency of your farm machinery, Donghua says it is the only manufacturer with a full range and large stock of agricultural chain ex-stock in the UK. For more information, visit https://www.donghua.co.uk/agriculture-chain/ or contact the company directly.
