For Use at Low-temperature
When making use of conveyor chains at low-temperature this kind of as in a fridge or inside a cold environment, the following circumstances may well come about.
one) Reduced temperature brittleness
In general, a material is embrittled 
at low-temperature and shock resistance is lowered. This phenomenon is called low-temperature brittleness, and also the degree of embrittlement differs from materials to materials.
The support restrict of a conveyor chain will depend on its specifications.
2)Influence of freezing
At low-temperature, bending failure, roller rotation failure, fixing of chain, etc. could possibly be caused through the freezing of penetrated water or deposited frost inside the clearance in between pins and bushings, bushings and rollers or inner plates and outer plates. These conditions result in an overload to act around the chain and drive, diminishing the life in the chain.
To stop freezing, generally, it’s proposed to fill the clearances that has a low-temperature lubricant suitable on the support temperature to prevent water, frost, and so forth. from penetrating the respective portions of the chain. For lubrication, a silicon based mostly grease is proposed.
For Use at High-temperature
Chains strength is diminished by high-temperature atmosphere, direct conveying of high-temperature loads, or radiated heat, etc. The service limit at high-temperature depends not within the temperature with the service setting however the temperature and materials of your chain body.
Following circumstances may well arise when chains are made use of at high-temperature:
1) High temperature brittleness and fracture by lowered hardness of heat treated materials
two) Brittleness brought on by carbide precipitation
three) Abnormal wear by scale
four) Fatigue fracture induced by repeated thermal shock (cooling and expansion)
5) Abnormal put on as a result of a rise within the coefficient of friction
6) Creep fracture
7) Fracture as a consequence of thermal fatigue of welded area
8) Effects brought on by thermal expansion
?Stiff backlinks and rotation failure as a result of decreased clearance ?Fatigue fracture as a consequence of lowered fitting force
9）Lubrication failure and stiff links as a consequence of deterioration and carbonization of lubricating oil
Grease great in heat resistance consist of these based upon silicon, graphite or molybdenum disulfide.
For use at high-temperature, high-temperature resistance bearings and stainless steel bearings are suggested.
