underground mining chains

Chains, sprockets, and more for underground mining are available from Tsubaki.

Mining is extremely important to this country’s economy, and Tsubaki of Canada makes a valuable contribution to this sector with a broad range of industrial chains. The company’s portfolio includes underground mining chains and other products. Mining operations sometimes have to use specialized equipment to reach materials at deep levels, an extreme environment where workers have to get in and out as quickly as possible. Tsubaki provides appropriate solutions here.

Specially designed chains for underground

In underground operations, workers have to extract materials with either blasting or special equipment like long-wall or continuous miners. This is a rough environment with high shock loads, which can lead to chain or sprocket failures that result in hours of downtime. So mining companies need specially designed underground mining chains for these harsh applications.

Tsubaki offers underground mining chains and more for the following applications:

  • Shuttle cars. These critical machines transfer hundreds of tons of coal from the development face to the transport conveyors, and they operate around the clock in the harshest environments. For shuttle cars, Tsubaki manufactures specialized shuttle-car chains, as well as sprockets and ANSI drive chains.
  • Face/roof drillers. The first machines into newly opened areas to shore up roofs and walls to boost safety. They require Tsubaki’s heavy-duty drive chains and Kabelschlepp products.
  • Continuous miners. Large vehicles that work directly in coal faces, scraping material from walls and ceilings with giant teeth set on rotating steel drums. Tsubaki produces special continuous-miner chains and sprockets for this machinery.
  • Bridge conveyors. Sprockets are available for these material-handling machines.
  • Feeder breakers. Tsubaki offers feeder-breaker conveyor chains that assist the conveyor mechanisms in these crushers. Flight bars are also available.
  • Mine ventilation. Cam clutches by Tsubaki come in handy for this application.
  • Drift/incline conveyors. Backstops, power locks, and power cylinders keep these conveyor systems reliable and efficient.
  • De-water and slurry pumps. Tsubaki offers backstops and power locks for these pumps.

Tsubaki chains and other components have been proven for decades to keep all of this mining equipment operating at its peak.
