SEDIS – Chains for the Brick & Tile Industry

Process constraints
Brick & tile manufacture combines thermal cycling, ceramic dust and intermittent transport of setter cars, requiring chains with stable clearances and heat‑capable materials.

Design specifics

• Plates and pins treated for scale and oxide resistance; joints dimensioned for repeated heat‑soak/cool cycles.
• Attachment geometries for fixtures, pushers and synchronized transfers through dryers and kilns.
• Options for dry‑running in hot zones to avoid residue deposition on products.

Integration

• • Allow for thermal expansion in guides and frames; use slotted mounts on idlers.
  • Balance tooth count and pitch to keep contact pressure below wear limits at elevated temperature.

 

Maintenance

• • • Schedule visual checks for scale build‑up; clean guides to prevent side thrust.
    • Track chain length per lane to maintain synchronization between parallel conveyors.
