The Canadian mining industry relies heavily on Tsubaki chain products

Tsubaki manufactures a broad range of products for the mining sector.

Tsubaki has provided great industrial chain solutions for a variety of sectors for more than a century, including 45 years with its Canadian affiliate, Tsubaki of Canada. General manufacturing gets amazing benefits from Tsubaki products, as do the forestry, automotive, and food-processing sectors. Another major industry in Canada that relies on Tsubaki is mining.

Both surface and underground mining operations deal with extremely abrasive environments. Tsubaki’s portfolio of industrial chain solutions has what it takes to withstand these harsh conditions.

Rugged and reliable equipment

In mining operations, equipment that is as reliable as it is rugged is an absolute necessity. Unexpected and unnecessary downtime often results from shock loading and non-lubricated chains in this sector. With its practical knowledge and decades of experience, Tsubaki can create products that can meet the strict demands of this industry to ensure steady, profitable operations.

Tsubaki’s advantage is that its staff fully understand how complex mining projects are. Drill rigs, feeder breakers, and long-wall or continuous miners are not enough to access, extract, transport, and process raw materials from the ground; what these operations need to function profitably is high strength and endurance. So Tsubaki meets these strict requirements with tried and tested products.

For surface-mining operations, Tsubaki offers many industrial chain solutions to support rotary breakers, shovels, diverter chutes, coal-port loading facilities, rail loading stations, wash plants, refineries, smelters, and conveyors. These products include heavy-duty roller chains, conveyor chains, reclaimer chains, engineering class sprockets, and protection devices.

Underground mining is full of high shock loads, and it can take the better part of a day to fix chain or sprocket failures. For these harsh applications, Tsubaki recommends its specially designed shuttle car chains, feeder breakers, heavy-duty chains, chains for continuous miners, and the One-Touch Inspection Door.

Other mining-friendly products available from Tsubaki include cam clutches, chain couplings, drill-rig chains, engineered chain class tools, G8 roller chains, rotary breaker chains, steel bushed chains and attachments, and super chains.

Whatever the application, Tsubaki has the ideal solutions for the mining industry. The company encourages potential customers to contact it for fast quotes.
