Most chains use metal links for higher strength, but they can be heavy and require frequent lubrication and maintenance.
However, for lighter loads and applications that are not lubricated or easily corrode, chains with a combination of engineering plastics and stainless steel can be considered.
About MCC Poly Steel roller chain (PC chain)
Engineering plastics possess the advantages of being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and having low friction coefficient and self-lubricating properties.
These characteristics make them highly suitable for applications that lack lubrication and are prone to corrosion, such as in food processing machinery.
In the Poly steel Roller Chain, the inner links are made of engineering plastics, while the outer links are made of SUS 304 stainless steel, offering the following key features:
1. Lightweight
2. Low noise
3. No lubrication required
4. Higher corrosion resistance
Suitable for use in light-load applications.
Why Choose MCC PC chain
Engineering plastic chains, also known as PC chains, are suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to +176°F).
They can be utilized in various industries, including packaging, food processing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and many others.
Due to the inner links being made from engineering plastic injection molding and the outer links from stainless steel, MCC can provide with standard stainless steel outer plate attachment or customized attachment to suit the specific machine requirements and design.
Also, to the food industry’s demand for food-grade materials, MCC can also provide PC chains made from food-grade engineering plastic materials.
These PC chains have blue-colored inner links and could meet food safety standards and requirements.
