This series represents the leading product within the John King programme. Forged fork link chain has proven to be one of the most reliable conveying mediums offering a combination of versality, strength and abrasion resistance. These chains, originally of european origin, are now established worldwide. With a wide variety of materials, heat treatments and flight formats the chain is proven in both drag and enmasse handling.

For double strand assemblies John King have a range of links following the standard format but with a forged “double clevis” into which a scraper can be mounted. The flight blade can be retained by either a U bolt or standard fasteners. The chain allows for some built in clearance between strands which obviates any potential problems that may be associated with mismatch. Double strand allows for improved discharge particularly relevant in conveying sticky materials.

Where extra wide flights are required the John King triple link is available allowing, in conjunction with the double on perimeters, three chain strands up to 3100 mm overall. In addition the “Double slot” allows for a versatile means or flight retention for both steel & plastic options. Retention can be either U clips or standard fasteners.

The standard recommendation for forged chain wear rail is manganese steel, an austenitic structure, offering unique work hardening properties. In its rolled condition it offers a hardness value of 200-220 Bnh increasing up to 600 Bnh if the optimum conditions prevail.
