FAQ of ZMIE Company

Below factors need consideration: 1. the application requirement, like terms of load capacity, speed,environment (temperature, humidity, chemicals) and operational conditions. 2. Select the suitable stainless steel chain pitch size and type.3. Material selection: Stainless steel chains are available in various grades, such as 304, 316, and 17-4PH stainless steel. Consider the level of corrosion resistance required for the specific application.4. Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the chain, considering factors such as initial purchase cost, maintenance requirements, and expected lifespan.

The general process is below:1. Assess the chain condition2. Gather replacement chain3. Prepare the equipment4. Remove the old stainless steel chain5. Clean and Inspect 6. Install the new stainless steel chain 7. Tension the stainless steel chain8. Lubricate the stainless steel chain 9. Perform Functionality Check

Stainless Steel Roller Chain Grade Options 304-Grade Stainless Steel - This is the most common grade of stainless steel used because it has good chemical resistance and is extremely resistant to corrosion.316-Grade Stainless Steel is the second most common grade used. Some of the benefits of using a 316-grade stainless steel over 304-grade stainless steel are superior resistance to corrosion, greater resistance to chemical attack, more durable, easier to clean, easier to weld, and in most applications, it will last longer.One common misconception today is that a stainless steel roller chain is actually higher strength than a carbon steel chain. Because both 304 and 316 grade stainless is a softer material than carbon steel a standard stainless steel chain can be as much as half the strength of the equivalent chain size in carbon steel material. However, we stock a "mega" stainless steel chain that offers carbon steel equivalent strength ratings due to its extremely complex design and manufacturing process.

If it is standard X348, X458, X678 chain or trolleys,normally Zmie do not have minimum requirement. For air shipment or Express mail arrangement, no minimum is required.But for your own convenience,if you wish to order for sea shipment,sincerely recommend order over USD5000, as you perhaps do not realize:    A. Importation for your Customs has minimum charge    B. Exportation for China Customs also has minimum cost    C. After importation from your Customs, you need truck arrangement before arrival to your warehouse or your customer's warehouse    D. Before exportation from China, Zmie also need truck arrangement to port    E. Sea-worthy wooden case needs to be built up as minimum package.
