Bush Conveyor Chains by KS Kneissl & Senn Technologie GmbH – Robust Solutions for Industrial Conveyor Systems
KS Kneissl & Senn Technologie GmbH offers high-quality bush conveyor chains in accordance with DIN 8167 (M series) and DIN 8165 (FV series) standards. These articulated conveyor chains are known for their durability and precision, making them ideal for demanding applications in power generation, the wood and particle board industries, and various other industrial sectors.
Since 2022, we have been manufacturing at our state-of-the-art facility in Erl, equipped with a fully modernized machine park. This enables us to process a wide range of materials — from steel and stainless steel to wear-resistant specialty alloys — with high precision, ensuring robust and long-lasting components for conveyor technology.

High-Quality Materials for Maximum Service Life
Our bush conveyor chains are manufactured from carefully selected case-hardened steels:
Pins & Bushings: Ck15, 16MnCr5, 42CrMo4, 1.4301 (AISI 304)
Rollers: Ck15, Ck45, 16MnCr5, 42CrMo4
Link Plates: Ck45, 30MnB5, 42CrMo4
These components are hardened or tempered depending on the material used, resulting in increased wear resistance and durability. Pins and bushings are flattened to prevent rotation as standard, and the pins are either riveted or welded to ensure a secure connection.
