Conveyor Chain Built for
Heavy-Duty Reclaiming

A heavy-duty bulk material reclaiming system operates under challenging conditions, including exposure to abrasive aggregates, high dust levels, moisture, changing weather conditions and continuous cyclic loading. These demanding operating conditions contribute to progressive wear on reclaimer chains, scraper flights, rollers and supporting boom structures. Material build-up, surface abrasion and potential corrosion create ongoing maintenance challenges, making regular inspections and effective wear management essential to maintaining equipment reliability and minimising unplanned downtime.

We supplied a leading cement plant with a heavy-duty KOBO 315 Reclaimer Chain solution in January 2026, comprising 650 chain links and eight 15-tooth segmented sprockets. The chain features 10 mm side plates for structural strength and 85 mm outboard rollers designed to distribute contact loads and maintain consistent chain tracking. Engineered for demanding bulk material handling applications, the robust chain assembly supports efficient aggregate movement along the reclaimer boom. The supplied configuration is suited to the site's operating requirements, with ongoing preventative maintenance recommended to manage abrasive wear and material accumulation.

The KOBO 315 Reclaimer Chain provides a robust solution for demanding cement production and bulk material reclaiming operations. Its heavy-duty construction supports reliable material movement, consistent chain tracking and effective load distribution in high-abrasion environments. Regular inspections, cleaning of roller paths and monitoring of chain components can help extend equipment service life, reduce the risk of unexpected failures and minimise unplanned maintenance. By supporting operational reliability, equipment availability and efficient material handling, the solution contributes to improved plant uptime, lower maintenance disruption and sustained productivity in demanding industrial environments.
