Why Guatemala needs chain couplings
Guatemala is Central America's largest economy, with sugar, palm oil, coffee and textiles, served by Puerto Quetzal and Santo Tomás.
Couplings absorb shock and misalignment between motors and driven equipment; their rubber elements and gear teeth wear and are replaced during planned shutdowns.
