Building materials industry elevator chains are engineered chains used in bucket elevators and vertical conveying equipment for cement plants, aggregate handling, clinker processing, powder materials, and other bulk solids.
The supplied technical drawing shows several chain and attachment arrangements, including:
The supplied parameter table is grouped into three machine categories:
FU machine elevator chains
NE machine elevator chains
DS machine elevator chains
Key Features
Designed for Vertical Bulk-Material Conveying
Bucket elevators convey bulk materials vertically through a production line. The chain connects and drives elevator buckets or attachments while operating around the head and boot sections of the elevator.
FU, NE and DS Machine Categories
The supplied table separates the product range into three groups:
FU-type machine elevator chains
NE-type machine elevator chains
DS-type machine elevator chains
These group names should be matched to the original elevator design, bucket layout, chain-wheel arrangement, and equipment drawings.
Chain and Attachment Integration
The drawing shows a chain assembly with rollers, pins, plates, projecting attachment elements, and attachment-plate arrangements. The attachment dimension c is included in the supplied table and should be checked together with the equipment bucket connection.
Multiple Pitch and Size Options
The supplied models cover pitch values from 101.60 mm to 300.00 mm, with different roller diameters, pin diameters, pin lengths, plate widths, plate thicknesses, plate depths, and attachment sizes.

Typical Building Materials Applications
Public engineering-chain references describe bucket elevator chains in applications such as:
Cement plants
Cement clinker conveying
Limestone and mineral handling
Sand and aggregate conveying
Powder-material elevators
Fly ash and slag handling
Fertilizer and chemical bulk handling
Grain and other bulk solids
Vertical material transfer systems
Bucket elevators with chain-mounted buckets
Heavy-duty continuous-process lines
Bucket elevators are used to move bulk materials vertically along a production line. In cement and building-material plants, the chain and bucket system may encounter abrasive particles, shock loading, dust, elevated temperatures, and continuous operating cycles. These conditions should be included in the chain selection review.
Selection Guide
1. Confirm the Elevator Machine Category
Identify whether the equipment requires:
FU-type elevator chain
NE-type elevator chain
DS-type elevator chain
Do not select only by pitch; the machine category and attachment arrangement must also match.
2. Confirm Pitch P
The supplied pitch values are:
101.60 mm
152.40 mm
200.00 mm
250.00 mm
300.00 mm
Pitch must match the chain-wheel or sprocket design and the bucket spacing.
3. Check Roller and Pin Dimensions
Review:
d1 — roller diameter
d2 — pin diameter
b2 — pin length
b1 — width between inner plates
These fields affect chain-wheel engagement, joint assembly, side clearances, and equipment integration.
4. Check Plate Dimensions
Verify:
t — plate thickness
h — plate depth
c — attachment size
The attachment size should be matched to the bucket or elevator attachment drawing.
5. Review the Operating Environment
Provide:
Conveyed material
Material temperature
Bulk density
Bucket capacity
Elevator speed
Center distance
Start-stop frequency
Shock loading
Abrasive dust exposure
Moisture or corrosive atmosphere
Lubrication method
Inspection and maintenance access
6. Confirm Chain Length and Chain-Wheel Data
For replacement or new equipment, provide the existing chain sample, chain-wheel drawing, bucket layout, chain length, center distance, and elevator arrangement.
Engineering Data and Working Load
The supplied image provides dimensional data only. It does not provide a working-load rating, fatigue-life guarantee, material certificate, coating specification, or service-life guarantee.
Final selection should be based on a complete engineering review that considers:
Chain tension
Bucket weight
Material load
Vertical lifting height
Start-up torque
Shock load
Chain speed
Chain-wheel engagement
Safety factor
Lubrication
Temperature and abrasion
Do not use the dimensional table alone to calculate an allowable working load.
OEM / ODM and Replacement Support
Custom review can be based on:
FU, NE, or DS equipment type
Chain model
Pitch P
Roller diameter d1
Pin diameter d2
Pin length b2
Inner plate width b1
Plate thickness t
Plate depth h
Attachment size c
Chain length
Bucket mounting arrangement
Chain-wheel or sprocket data
Packaging and delivery requirements
Material grade, heat treatment, surface treatment, corrosion resistance, coating, service life, certification, and allowable working load are not specified in the supplied image. Confirm these items separately before including them in a purchase specification.
