KettenWulf offers inno-vative chain technology for all conveyor applica-tions in the steel and metallurgical industry
KettenWulf sprockets
|05
The steel and metallurgical industries hold one of the harshest environments for chain technology. Direct exposure to abrasion or heat, heavy loads and high speeds are a challenge for a trouble-free ope-ration of each chain system.
To meet these complex technical requirements found in all stages of steel manufacturing or processing, our R&D department always works in close collaboration with our customers.
As a result, we have developed state-of-the-art product technologies to optimize your production flow: be it to reduce wear on reclaimer chains in ore and coal mixing beds due to abrasion, to enhance temperature resistance in hot material transport or to obtain highest precision for roller chains used in looping tower applications - KettenWulf offers the right product solution.
Products for all applications in the steel industry
Cold strand chain as start-up chain for continuous casting
Coil transport chain
Pan conveyor chain for sinter transport
Deep link chain for steel sheet continu-ous conveyor
Special tappet chain for cooling bedpipe transport
Special duplex chain for looping tower
Pan conveyor chain for scrap transport
Chains for pig-iron preparationIron ore loading and preparation facility
Low-maintenance reclaimer chains for the hand-ling of coal, iron ore and other additives as well as pan conveyor chains for charge preparation are only two of the many product solutions in which we have proven our superior technical capabilities.
The use of special materials in combination with highest manufacturing precision and respective heat treatment of the individual chain components increase the resistance of our chains to high tem-peratures and wear considerably.

Sprockets are a critical factor for the capacity and endurance of every chain system. To ensure the same high quality standard of all products, Ketten-Wulf relies on the production of their own sprockets.
In addition to sprockets according to DIN/ISO/ANSI specifications, our product range also covers indi-vidual solutions with optimized tooth profiles and wheel sizes. Whether you need sprockets made of superior material, with special tempering or induction hardened teeth – KettenWulf has the solution.
