Prime Manufacturing is an household name when it comes to supplying quality bulk materials handling products, cut to size services and engineering plastics, CNC machining, screw flights, and bucket elevator and conveyor components. This article focuses on three of the products supplied by Prime Manufacturing; namely, chain sprockets, conveyor belts and HDPE tubes.
Contrary to what some people believe, a chain sprocket is not another name for a gear; both are not the same. A chain sprocket is simply a saw-like wheel that allows a chain to move over it. Movie projectors and cameras transport mechanisms makes use of sprockets. In situations, such as the transmission of rotary motion, where the use of gears is not suitable, sprockets are employed to impart linear motion to indented materials. Sprocketsâ teeth are design for easy meshing with tracks, chains, or some indented or perforated materials. Sprockets may take the form of cast iron or alloy, stainless or mild steel
Conveyor belts are primarily use to provide preset movement of materials in places like a factory. They are used on large farms, in industrial applications, and in freight-handling and warehousing. Sometimes raw materials are moved from one spot to another with the aid of conveyor belts. Belt conveyors, be it of fabric, plastic, rubber, metal or leather, are driven by a mounted roll at one end of the conveyor with the belt supported on rollers when heavy loads are involved or on a metal slider pan, for light loads. Often, motors operating through variable or constant speed reduction provide the power.
HDPE tubes offers high tensile strength and excellent impact resistance. It meets USDA and FDA certification for food processing being non-toxic. Manufacturers of margarine tubs, milk jugs, trash cans and detergent containers often make use of them. Those whose work involve storm sewer pipe and trench draining also take advantage of HDPE tubes.
