BMG has expanded its power-transmission range with the introduction of Fenner Zintek Plus and Fenner O‑Ring roller chains. These innovative solutions are designed to combat premature chain failure in high-wear, high-contamination, and washdown environments, ensuring durability and efficiency.
Why Fenner Zintek Plus roller chains matter
Corrosion and abrasive wear are the leading causes of chain failure in dusty and high-humidity environments. Fenner Zintek Plus roller chains are engineered to extend service intervals, reduce unplanned downtime, and improve maintenance planning.
Key features include:
- Zinc–aluminium coating: Provides superior corrosion resistance across plates and rollers.
- Hardened pins: Chemically nickel-plated pins with a hardness of 67–68 HRC offer better wear resistance compared to conventional pins (58–62 HRC).
- Heavy-metal-free treatment: Ensures no hydrogen embrittlement, making the chains safer and more durable.
Fenner O‑Ring roller chains: Sealed for longevity
Fenner O‑Ring roller chains are designed to trap factory lubricant inside each link using precision elastomer O‑rings. This prevents contamination and maintains internal lubrication, ensuring smoother and longer operation.
Key benefits include:
- Blocking dirt, dust, and water ingress.
- Reducing internal wear, friction, and elongation.
- Cleaner external surfaces with less debris build-up.
Applications and benefits
Fenner Zintek Plus and O‑Ring roller chains are ideal for industries and environments where humidity, contaminants, or limited maintenance access compromise conventional chains. These include:
- Sugar production
- Agriculture and fertiliser equipment
- Materials-handling conveyors
- Mining and quarry operations
- Cement and aggregate plants
- Timber processing
- Recycling facilities
- Outdoor and coastal installations
Availability and sizes
Fenner 12B and 16B Zintek Plus and O‑Ring roller chains are available across Africa through BMG’s extensive distribution network. Fenner Zintek Plus and O‑Ring roller chains are engineered to withstand the toughest environments, offering corrosion resistance, durability, and reduced downtime. These chains are a reliable solution for industries requiring long-lasting performance in harsh conditions.
