Rexton® Chains Built for Extreme Conditions
Cement Industry
In cement plants, conveyor and drive systems face continuous exposure to high temperatures, dust, and abrasive materials such as clinker and limestone. Equipment must perform reliably under heavy loads and harsh environments — any failure can cause costly production downtime.
Rexton® chains are engineered to handle these demanding conditions. With superior wear resistance, high tensile strength, and precision manufacturing, our products ensure consistent operation across all stages of cement production — from clinker conveyors to bucket elevators and mixers.

Strength Through Metallurgical Excellence
Our chains are made from superior materials that undergo specialized heat treatment to deliver exceptional hardness and fatigue strength. Surface treatments and advanced lubrication options further enhance resistance against abrasion and corrosion, extending service life even in dusty, high-temperature environments.
For critical applications near kilns or clinker coolers, Rexton® offers heat-resistant chain materials and special coatings to maintain strength and dimensional stability under extreme heat.

Bucket Elevator Chains
Used to lift raw materials like limestone, clinker, and gypsum vertically.
Type:
- Forged chain (drop-forged link chain) — preferred for heavy-duty clinker handling.
- Bush chain — used for lighter materials or lower-capacity elevators.
- Cottered pin variation — for easier maintenance.
Material & Design:
- Alloy steel, heat-treated for wear resistance.
- Often with K-type or G-type attachments to carry buckets.
Drag Conveyor Chains (Redler or Scraper Chains)
Application: Horizontal or inclined conveying of raw meal, clinker dust, and coal dust.
Type:
- Welded steel drag chain — standard for abrasive bulk materials.
- Drop-forged scraper chain — for higher strength and durability.
Features:
- High surface hardness (through carburizing or induction hardening).
- Designed for minimal elongation and high fatigue resistance.
Apron Conveyor Chains
Application: For feeding clinker, hot cement, or limestone into crushers or kilns.
Type:
- Heavy-duty steel apron chains with pans or plates attached.
- Central chain or dual-strand design depending on load distribution.
Features:
- Must resist high operating temperatures (up to 200–300°C).
- Fitted with heat-resistant bushings and pins.
Reclaimer and Feeder Chains
Application: Used in stockyards to move bulk material (limestone, coal, clay).
Type:
- Welded steel chain with flight bars or forged reclaimer chains.
- Designed to operate under abrasive and dusty conditions.
Transmission and Drive Chains
Application: Power transmission for crushers, mixers, and kilns.
Type:
- Roller chains (ANSI or BS series) — for medium-duty drives.
- Heavy-duty drive chains — for large machinery with shock loads
