Introduction
In food processing facilities, where hygiene and durability are non-negotiable, stainless steel chains have become the backbone of conveyor systems, packaging lines, and automated handling. This article explores why food-grade stainless steel chains dominate critical applications, addresses common industry challenges, and highlights how BISON CHAIN’s solutions meet global safety standards like FDA, EU 1935/2004, and 3-A Sanitary Standards.
High-Temperature Environments
Ovens & Fryers: Chains withstand temperatures up to 400°C (e.g., Model HT-300 with heat-resistant coatings).
Sterilization Tunnels: 316L stainless steel resists chlorine-based cleaning agents.
Wet & Corrosive Zones
Meat/Poultry Processing: Acid-resistant chains prevent corrosion from blood, fats, and brine.
Dairy Plants: Polished surfaces (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) minimize bacterial adhesion.
Freezing & Chilling
Cold Storage Chains: Low-temperature lubricants prevent brittleness at -40°C.
How to Choose the Right Chain?
