2.0 HEKO round link chains

HEKO chains distinguish themselves through: high quality heat treatment tailored to particular applications high fatigue strength close length tolerance of chain pairs Modern welding machines are employed for the manufacture of HEKO chains. Chains are manufactured from a wide range of materials including manganese steels, chrome-nickel steels and fine grain chrome-nickelmolybdenum alloy steels. Our own, modern, computercontrolled heat treatment processes produce tempered or case hardened chains.

2.1 Heat treatment

Figure 2: Part view of the HEKO hardening shop

HEKO case hardening means:

HEKO tempered means:

High breaking load resulting from a tough, fine grain core High wear resistance resulting from a surface hardness in excess of 800 HV

very high breaking loads

Case hardening results in a hard, wear resistant chain shell. HEKO offers 6 hardening depths as standard. In addition HEKO offers various hardening depths to suit individual requirements. A surface hardness of at least 800 HV is supplied as standard.

For applications where a high breaking load is taking precedence over hardness, tempered round link chains manufactured from manganese steel, or CrNi or CrNiMo alloy steel are recommended.

3.0 HEKO bucket attachments

HEKO attachments the right solution for every application several options to suit individual requirements finish self-colour, galvanised or other surface finishes

HEKO offers a wide spectrum of cost effective and safe attachments for elevators. HEKOs attachments are suitable for double-strand elevators. The heat treatment of the attachments will be effected individually to the requirements. There is a choice between different hardened qualities. Generally the conveying chains can be supplied as single components or

pre-mounted endless chain strands. We will be pleased to assist you in selecting the optimum attachment for your application.

3.2 Chain shackles type TS/TS-N/TS-L

Chain shackles type TS / TS-N / TS-L are suitable as bucket attachments for all duties. The shackles are tempered and induction hardened in the contact areas to a hardening depth of at least 0.14 x d. Shackles type TS and TS-N can be used with pocket teeth and projecting teeth and toothless chain wheels. Assembly and dismounting of the shackle is possible at any time when using spring pins for the fastening of the closing plates split pins are available optionally. Advantages of the TS-Shackles compared to DIN-Shackles

Locked distance plate, therefore uninterrupted force transmission Higher breaking load Larger contact surface Lower wear Easier assembly/dis-assembly Interchangeable with shackle to DIN 5699 Elimination of chain tension onto bucket and other parts

Eliminating alternating load and thus avoiding fatigue fracture of shackle Supplied loose or pre-fitted with chain to form endless chain strand Suitable for chains to DIN 764/766 and works standard Regarding high loads the chain pitch can be equal to the shackle pitch, regarding high capacity buckets we recommend the TS-L shackle.

Figure 10: HEKO chain shackle type TS

Figure 11: HEKO chain shackle type TS-N

Figure 12: HEKO chain shackle type TS-L

The TS type is recommended for use as a horizontal attachment, i.e. mostly buckets with side wall attachment. The forged distance plate incorporates an additional support on the chain wheel. Both toothed and toothless wheels can be used with the TS-Shackle.

The TS-N type, though primarily used for vertical attachment, i.e. rear wall mounted buckets. It has the same properties as the TS-Shackle, the only difference being the use of a plain, fabricated distance plate which is more cost effective.

The TS-L type is recommended for vertical attachment and high turning moments as imposed by wider and deeper buckets, i.e. high capacity buckets, and buckets over 630mm width. An extended distance plate provides an additional support and extends the supporting centres over three chain pitches. The additional support ensures smoother operation under high loads and reduces wear. Due to the higher load capability, chain and shackle pitch can be the same even with high capacity buckets. The TS-L Shackle only benefits a vertical bucket attachment.

3.3 Endless chain system type TS, TS-N and TS-L

Advantages of HEKO endless chain strands

Pre-assembled chain strands in lengths to suit clients requirements Minimised erection time as complete strands can be pulled into the elevator Easy dis-assembly/shortening as split pins can be removed quickly Chain locks are not required Full load can be applied to the strands without attaching buckets

Figure 16: HEKO endless chain systems with shackle type TS, -TS-N and -TS-L

Figure 17: quick and simple assembly of a HEKO endless chain strand

A further advantage of HEKOs endless chain strands is that toothed wheels are not required when the chain load provides sufficient friction grip, which applies in most cases.

Increased service life as well as reduced investment and operation costs result. Correct selection of components, fitting and operation can eliminate chain slip in most cases, without excess tensioning via the idling wheel. The

increased contact area provided, after the initial running-in period by the chain and shackle, leads to reduced wear when compared to other types of attachments.

2 support pins flat, inclusive of split pin 2 support pins round, inclusive of split pin, case hardened

Fitting suggestions: Line-up brackets so that the holes are in line and weld brackets to the buckets using a suitable electrode.

Chain locks type FL/RS and VK are used for connecting longer chain strands. These chain locks have the same physical properties to those of the corresponding chain.

Assembly of 2 components is simple as the chain only needs to be slackened slightly. These chain locks should only be installed in vertical position.

Elevator buckets to DIN and other dimensions Manufactured in a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, surface coating or rubber inserts Manufactured to HEKO standard or to bespoke requirements Buckets widths from 800 mm inclusive of stiffeners Suitable for all types of bucket attachments

Buckets are supplied for rear wall mounting with re-enforcing strip (Type L) or re-enforcing plate (Type M)

or for side wall mounting (Type N). Special requirements to suit customers can also be manufactured. The availability of high capacity buckets enables a considerable increase in throughput with minimal changes to the foot print of the elevator. When handling compacting material or large stones the addition of ripping teeth to the front of approx. 5 to 10 % of the buckets (Fig. 40) is recommended. Such teeth reduce the scooping forces, minimise the risk of the tensioning device lifting and thus prevent chain slip. The information below provides details of the most popular range of buckets.

HEKOFLEX segmented rims are manufactured from Polyurethane, the excellent properties of which ensure a good service life. A Steel-Polyurethane combination is used for higher load applications which combines the higher load carrying capability of the steel core and improved friction grip of the Polyurethane. In addition to the improved friction grip of the

Polyurethane, larger loads can be accommodated thus improving the service life compared to the normal HEKOFLEX segments. HEKOFLEX rims can be used with operating temperatures up to 100 C.

HEKO chain wheels type RUU may be used as return idling wheels as well as drive wheels for medium load and up to 30m shaft centres. The large cutouts in the hub are designed to prevent build-up of product inside the wheels and are therefore ideal for return idling wheels inside the elevator boot. Even material with larger particle size is pressed through the large cut-outs, otherwise this could lead to chains coming off the wheels. Hubs are manufactured from carbon steel and segments are fabricated from CrMo alloy steel. Segments are normally supplied with a tensile strength of 700 to 800 N/mm2, but this can be increased, on request, by heat treatment. These chain wheels can be used with vertically and horizontally mounted shackle and many other types of bucket attachments. All wheels are supplied with keyways or, on request, with taper lock bushes. In addition the hubs have holes for spacer bars to adjust for the correct chain centre distance. Segments can be supplied, on request, with chain guide at one or both sides. However, experience has shown that such discs are unnecessary for drive wheels.

Chain wheels with segments type SUR, KS or KSE are designed for low and medium loads. Hubs are manufactured from carbon steel and segments are cast from hard wearing chilled iron. The small openings in the hub limits their use as return wheels in elevator boots as material might build up within the wheel groove. Higher loads can be achieved with HEKO chain wheels type RUA and RUU and better self-cleaning with wheels type RUU. Cast wheel rims are brittle and also susceptible to fractures caused by heavy knocks. Hubs are also available in grey cast iron (but without cut-out). Cast wheels are inexpensive and cost effective for less arduous applications. These chain wheels can be used with vertically and horizontally mounted shackles and other types of bucket attachments depending on the type of segment. Fitting instructions see page 34

The chain wheels can be used as drive wheels as well as return wheels. Large relief slots prevent material built-up between the chain wheel rims. The chain wheel hubs are manufactured from carbon steel and segments are fabricated from CrMo alloy steel. On request the rim segments can be heat treated up to 1000-1400 N/mm2 for higher loads. Dimensions as per type RUU page 19.

Figure 53: Replaceable 90 segment (quarter) for HEKO chain wheel type RUP

HEKO chain wheels Type RUP are supplied primarily with 90 segment to ease replacement, but 180 segments may be supplied on request. Instead of cast iron, HEKO manufactures the segments from CrMo alloy steel, which substantially increases the service life. Segments are normally supplied with a tensile strength of 700 to 800 N/mm2, but this can be increased, on request, by heat treatment up to 1000-1400 N/mm2. Such treatment ensures good durability under extreme operating conditions. These chain wheels can be used with vertically and horizontally mounted shackles and many other types of bucket attachments. The steel segments can also be retrofitted to cast iron or cast steel hubs. The cut-outs in the hub minimise the chance of material build-up within the Fitting instructions see page 34

wheel, which could otherwise lead to chains coming off the wheels. All wheels are supplied with keyways or, on request, with taper lock bushes. In addition the hubs have holes for spacer bars to adjust for the correct

chain centre distance. Segments can be supplied, on request, with chain guide at one or both sides. However, experience has shown that such chain guides only required for return wheels.

HEKO bucket guide discs are manufactured from carbon steel and are bolted to the outward facing side of the chain wheel. Bucket guide discs are usually fitted to return idling wheels in the elevator boot to restrict bucket movement, usually in applications where side forces on the buckets are expected. Such guide discs are an alternative to fixed guide rails attached to the side wall of the boot. We recommend that elevator inlets are designed to centralise the feed into the bucket. Guide discs may be retrofitted to existing cast or steel wheels. Fitting instructions see page 34

HEKO drive wheels with pocket teeth type GTA are renown for their trouble free operating characteristics and long service life. The replaceable toothed rims are manufactured from alloy steel with teeth hardened (contact areas) to reduce wear. These wheels can be used with vertical shackle and other types of attachments. Wheels are supplied with keyway or taper lock bushes, the latter on request. In addition the hubs have holes for spacer bars to adjust for the correct chain centre distance. Toothed wheels are fitted to eliminate chain slip, usually caused when toothless wheels provide insufficient friction grip, i.e. short shaft centres.

6.14 Chain wheel overview

Replaceable toothless and toothed segments ensure fast and cost effective replacement of worn parts. Shaft and drive removal is unnecessary. Shut-down time is therefore minimised. Wheel segments, teeth and hubs can be produced from special materials, such as stainless steel, HARDOX, etc., on request. Matching of chain and wheel in our workshop will ensure smooth plant operation. When replacing worn chains, excess wear of retained components should be avoided and we recommend that both chains and wheels, especially toothed wheels, are changed at the same time. Detailed manufacture of chain wheels may vary from those illustrated in the catalogue, drawing of the actual wheel can be provided. Wheel tolerances are to DIN 7168. Chain wheels can be supplied pilot bored, finish bored and with standard or bespoke hub diameter and length. Toothless drive wheels transport the chain by friction grip, whilst toothed wheels transport the chain by engagement with the tooth. Chain wear is in direct relation to the movement of the link contact areas. The larger the

7.0 HEKO elements for bucket elevetors 7.1 Maintenance-free bearings for bucket elevators and other conveyors
HEKO bearings have the advantage of being able to be fitted inside the elevator boot. These bearings operate successfully with many dry or moist products, including abrasive products, but may also be used submerged in water. The CrNi steel bearing bush, which forms the shaft liner, is secured to the shaft by a screw. The bush runs inside the bearing housing without lubrication. The bearing housing, manufactured from special cast alloy steel, is fixed to the tensioning device by four bolts. Dust seals etc. are not required.

For new and existing elevators 160 to 1600mm bucket width Minimal maintenance due to automatic self-tensioning and maintenance free bearings No dust emission due to internal bearings

The return and tensioning unit is completely encased inside the elevator boot, thus preventing dust emission. The shaft is supported by maintenance free, dry, bearings, the latter manufactured from alloy steel. HEKOs return and tensioning unit is designed for easy access to replace worn parts, thus minimising downtime. All standard units, type I, II & III, for new elevators, as well as units in

special executions for existing elevators. HEKO also provide conversions for problem belt and bucket elevators, as frequently experienced in cement grinding plants. Conversion time can be minimised as the return and idling unit can be supplied pre-assembled. The return and idling unit includes the wheels with replaceable steel segments, shaft, bearings, slide rails and carriage,

weight box, mounting frames for welding to the boot walls and large bolted access door each side. The self-weight of the wheels, shaft and bearings is normally sufficient to provide adequate chain tension. However, elevators with short shaft centres may require additional weights to be placed into the weight box of the return and tensioning unit.

9.0 General technical information

Chain Assembly: HEKO supply chain ends with 5,7,9 or more links, long chain strands and endless chain strands pre-assembled with TS-shackles. Chain ends: Chains ends are always supplied as matched pairs. Bundles are tied together with coloured wire, colour depending on chain quality as follows: HEKO 280E white HEKO 21 yellow HEKO 210E black HEKO 400E green HEKO 5 red HEKO 350E blue Wire should not be removed until directly before commencing assembly and chain ends of each pair must be assembled next to each other to avoid chain misalignment. Chains should be assembled with the welds pointing towards the shaft centre. Long chain strands and endless chain strands pre-assembled with TS-shackle: Long chains strands, max. length up to 400kg per length. Long chain strands and endless chain strands will be supplied in matched pairs to avoid misalignment. One end of each strand is colour coded. Coloured links of each strand must be assembled next to each other, colours will be advised in the delivery note. General Chain ends fitted with DIN or similar D-shackles require the buckets to be fitted before lifting into the housing to minimise the risk of hairline cracks forming in the shackle. Chain assemblies with the TS-shackle system, or long chain strands may be lifted into housing and fitted without buckets without incurring the risk of cracks, the latter may be fitted after the chains have been made endless. Pre-assembly of internal components substantially reduces downtime for rechaining. Accurate alignment of drive and idling wheels, parallel drive and idling shafts and correct chain centres are essential for trouble-free operation. Chain tension should be adequate to ensure free, low noise chain movement. Noise, which may arise from the rubbing together of two steel surfaces and resonant frequencies are often caused by excess chain tension. Proper chain tension must be assured at all times by employing an efficient, preferably, self-tensioning device. Shortening of chain Should it be necessary to shorten the chain, only a complete pair of chain ends, with equal number of links, should be removed. Removing links from long chain strands may be carried out by cold cutting, using a cutting disc. As individual chain links may have different tolerances, some misalignment should be expected when removing individual links. Heating the chain or welding should be avoided. HEKO will be pleased to advise. Maintenance/Wear Measurement: All conveyor parts which may be subject to wear (wheels, chains, bucket attachments, chain locks) should be checked regularly for wear or damage. Chain contact surfaces are subject to normal wear, the extent of which depends on chain quality, number of link movements, contact load and material handled. Wear in the contact areas reduces the chain thickness and thus has a direct relationship to service life. Lubrication, for example with oil, or increased moisture content in the product increases wear, especially with abrasive materials. Wheel scrapers and other devices that clean the wheel grooves reduce wear. Chains, wheels and bucket attachments should be checked thoroughly following an overload condition. Chains and chain wheels, or wheel rims, especially toothed wheels, should always be replaced at the same time. Generally we recommend replacement of the chain when 75% of the hardening depth is worn and less when toothed wheels are fitted. Damaged or distorted buckets affect the chain centres, causing a contact between the wheel grove, chain and shackle and resulting in premature chain/shackle failure. Such buckets must be replaced or corrected as soon as possible. Nuts, securing the buckets should also be checked regularly and re-tightened as necessary. Operational Information Central feed is essential for avoiding uneven bucket filling and uneven wear between the two chain strands. If feed conveyors approach the elevator inlet at 900, corrective measures are recommended by use of deflactors, swept inlet or convex inlet floor. Elevator buckets must be fitted completely horizontally. Bucket attachment nuts should be tightened using a torque spanner, ideally when resting on the drive wheels to ensure that correct chain centres are maintained. After approx. 2 weeks operation, all nuts should be re-tightened. We recommend the use of safety discs or self-locking nuts to secure the bucket. Loose buckets could lead to shearing of attachment bolts, and, when using DIN type shackle, to premature fractures due to fatigue.

avoided enabling higher loads to be accommodated or the shaft size reduced. Spacer bars Spacer bars, in the form of threaded rods, simplifies axial adjustment of the chain wheels to achieve and maintain the correct chain centres. Once locked, both wheels can be moved together on the shaft for correcting the vertical alignment between drive and idling wheels. Individual teeth The holding disc must be loosened and moved away from the hub when changing teeth. Teeth are exchanged in the no-load area (i.e. not in contact with the chain). Bolts must initially be tightened by hand only. Once all teeth have been fitted, bolts should be fitted when in the upper position, using a torque wrench set to the torque recommended by HEKO. (table 30) Shakles type DIN 745/5699 DIN 745 has been replaced by DIN 5699, the latter being a stronger shackle. When exchanging DIN 745 with shackles to DIN 5699 or TSShackle, it should be noted that while the pitch is the same, the bolt diameter for pitch sizes 45, 56, 136 differ and require larger holes. Also dimension a is different which can usually be accommodated by adjusting the through-of plate at the outlet.

Each part of the wheel with replaceable segments will be marked with an additional number to ensure that re-fitting is in the correct sequence. Segments can be exchanged with chains still in place. General Several options for locating the wheels to the shaft are available. Grub screws, or locating rings with groove to DIN6885/1 or similar and keywayed, to DIN6887 or similar, or taper lock bushes are used for stepped shafts. Taper lock bushes Both toothless and toothed chain wheels are more easily located by use of taper lock bushes. Weakening of the drive shaft by keyways is
