ELITE Stainless steel chains are used mainly in the food and beverage industry or for applications in which chains require regular cleaning. The materials used in ELITE chains enable them to be used in acidic or alkaline environments. The permitted tensile load for stainless steel chains is approximately one-third of the permitted load for comparable standard ELITE chains.

ELITE Nickel-plated chains are used mainly in the food and packaging industry. The properties of nickel make it a particularly suitable coating metal for numerous applications. This chain is impervious not only to water and air, but also to a variety of acids and alkalis.

The new Zinc-Aluminium Coated chains (“ZAP coated chains”) have the best corrosion protection of all coated chains. The typical lamellar structure of these coatings provide a so-called “barrier effect” and high cathodic corrosion protection without the risk of hydrogen embrittlement. The coating also has a positive effect on friction in the chain bearing.
