Elite chains for agricultural machines - Reliable and quickly available
Elite crop elevator chains for agricultural machinery.
Munich, Germany, October 2009. Iwis is presenting its Elite chains for agricultural machinery at this year's Agritechnica fair in Hannover, Germany. The chain manufacturers have set up a centre of excellence - iwis agrisystems - dedicated to agricultural machinery. The product range comprises chains and complete kits for almost all current agricultural machines in the world. As well as an individual customer advisory service, Iwis maintains a well-stocked distribution warehouse, meaning that urgent spare parts required during the harvesting season can be supplied immediately.
Since agricultural machines are practically always outdoors, the chains used in them are directly exposed to harsh conditions such as dust, dirt, cold and damp. Moreover, after long idle periods in the winter their reliability is repeatedly tested to the extreme. Iwis agricultural machinery chains have a rugged design to withstand the extreme environmental conditions to which they are exposed. Tailored to customers' needs, they have already seen many years' reliable service in the field. Iwis' range for agricultural machinery includes crop elevator chains for combine harvesters, chains for maize headers and choppers as well as add-on parts for a wide range of design variants. Roller and leaf chains, and accessories such as chain wheels and pulleys complete the portfolio.
Chains for agricultural machinery are part of the Iwis group's full product line which also includes timing drive systems, precision and high-performance roller chains, conveyor chains, maintenance-free and corrosion-resistant chains, power and free conveyor chains, special-purpose conveyor chains as well as chain wheels and accessories for machine and plant engineering, the packaging, printing and food and beverages industries, material handling systems, and many other industrial applications.
