Why Chile needs chain couplings
Chile is the world's largest copper producer and a leading lithium, fruit and salmon exporter, with Santiago as its main market.
Couplings absorb shock and misalignment between motors and driven equipment; their rubber elements and gear teeth wear and are replaced during planned shutdowns.
Mining & minerals in Chile
Copper and lithium mines in the north run massive conveyor systems and consume heavy spares.
In Chile, open-pit and underground mines and mineral processing plants buy chain couplings from us mainly for pump and motor sets and conveyors and bucket elevators.
Who buys chain couplings: Open-pit and underground mines · Mineral processing plants · Quarries · Bulk ports
