UK based Parsons Chain Company has launched a new Trawlex Profile Chain in an attempt to provide the market with product that is less susceptible to wear, corrosion and stress fractures.
The area of interlink on the chain has been greatly increased reducing the effects of stress and initial wear and maintaining tensile strength for a extended period.
This is turn, according to the company, results in improved dimensional stability and longer working life.
Since the early 1990s the Parsons Chain Company has produced the super hardened Trawlex chain and now all chains in the Trawlex range have double heat -treated specification.
This treatment allows the company to achieve the highest hardness chain for use in marine environments while giving maximum toughness and wear resistance for increased life.
