Chain snaps

[deepaknatraj]

Hello,

I have a question regarding chains.

I'm working on a press right now and the chain that runs the feeder keeps breaking/snapping like for every 10 sheets that I run.

I'm not sure where to start.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Look at the specifications of the chain that is breaking. See if there are chains available that are stronger - better suited for the loading. Also, consider that the chain mechanism could be causing the breakage. Inspect and apply maintenance as required.
