asphalt chains

Tsubaki of Canada manufactures a range of asphalt chains and sprockets.

During road-paving season, machinery must always perform at its utmost ability. This means every component must be engineered for asphalt operations – able to withstand hard aggregates, shock loads, intense heat, and continuous service. Tsubaki of Canada knows this. This is why the company manufactures lines of asphalt chains and sprockets that can handle the tough demands of paving applications, with critical benefits to boot.

Maximum strength and longevity

Tsubaki produces the strongest, longest-lasting asphalt chains on the market, including incline conveyor chains with pitches of four or six inches and with K-style or slotted M-style attachments. For maximum strength and longevity, the sidebars have been through-hardened to withstand high-impact loads, while the company has heat-treated the rollers specifically to resist abrasion in even the harshest operation conditions.

Tsubaki has built these asphalt chains with such critical advantages as tight press fit, higher strength, precise pitch control, and extended service life. Paving organizations are wise to choose Tsubaki chains for high quality, long-lasting operations, reliable performance even with high shock loads, durable operation in tough working conditions, and minimal downtime with few unplanned stops.

But using proper chains is not the only solution for asphalt applications. Tsubaki also designs and manufactures asphalt incline conveyor sprockets and related parts, built out of the finest materials and heat-treated for protection. Styles include the following:

  • Unified sprockets. These enable easy replacement of the worn portions of sprockets.
  • Segmental rim sprockets. Made from high-quality 1045 steel with minimum 50-HRC tooth hardness, these sprockets can withstand extreme abrasion. They keep operations running with minimum downtime.
  • Hub body. These components have a solid construction to ensure operational strength. Available in a split style for easy replacement, they are easy to mount to standard shafting.
  • Return support rollers. Return support rollers support the chain weight on the conveyor return side, with rollers machined to fit the chain’s exact profile.
  • Scraper flights. Manufactured and assembled at the Tsubaki facility.

Tsubaki recommends adding the Smart Tooth solution to asphalt sprockets, to eliminate guesswork on wear and extend chain life.
