Why Zimbabwe needs chain couplings
Zimbabwe has large mining (platinum, gold, lithium, chrome) and farming sectors, supplied through Beira and Durban.
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 Zimbabwe
Platinum, gold, chrome and lithium mines need conveyors and heavy spares.
In Zimbabwe, 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.
