In the dairy industry, maintaining hygiene, efficiency, and product safety is non-negotiable. From milk pasteurization to cheese packaging, the right chains ensure smooth operations, reduce downtime, and meet strict food safety standards. Two types of chains stand out in dairy operations: stainless steel chains and flat top chains.
Stainless Steel Chains: Corrosion-Resistant Power for Dairy Processing
Dairy processing involves constant exposure to moisture, cleaning agents, and acidic products like milk and whey. Stainless steel chains are engineered to withstand these challenges while maintaining performance and hygiene.
At Jeremywell International, we offer a wide range of stainless steel options to best suit customer needs, including 304, 316, and super stainless steel grades. This ensures every application — from general processing to the most demanding environments — has the right level of corrosion resistance and durability.
Common Types of Stainless Steel Chains in Dairy:
- Roller Chains: High-strength chains for power transmission in mixers, pasteurizers, and homogenizers.
- Conveyor Chains with Attachments: Stainless steel chains with hooks, flights, or other fixtures for product movement.
- Attachment Chains: Customizable chains for lifting or moving larger or irregular products such as cheese blocks.
Applications in Dairy Processing:
- Transporting raw or pasteurized milk.
- Cheese production: cutting, pressing, and handling curds.
- Mixers, homogenizers, and pasteurization equipment.
- Whey and by-product handling.
- High-temperature sterilization lines.
Benefits:
- Superior corrosion resistance in wet, high-cleaning environments.
- Durable and long-lasting for continuous operation.
- Hygienic, smooth surfaces reduce contamination risk.
Flat Top Chains: Smooth, Reliable Transport for Dairy Packaging
Once dairy products are processed, they require fast, stable, and hygienic handling during packaging. Flat top chains provide the ideal solution, available in stainless steel or plastic.
Common Types of Flat Top Chains in Dairy:
- Stainless Steel Flat Top Chains: Durable, corrosion-resistant, and hygienic.
- Hybrid Plastic-Stainless Chains: Lightweight yet strong, suitable for high-speed bottling or carton lines.
- Modular Flat Top Chains: Flexible chains for curved conveyors or tight packaging layouts.
Applications in Dairy Packaging:
- Bottling milk, cream, and yogurt.
- Transporting cartons, cups, and cheese blocks.
- Integration with filling, capping, labeling, and sealing machines.
- Curved conveyors and high-speed packaging lines.
Benefits:
- Smooth surfaces minimize tipping, spillage, and product damage.
- Flexible and adaptable for curved conveyor layouts.
- Hygienic and easy to clean, meeting food safety standards.
- Supports high-speed operations with stable product handling.
