THIELE
Development, CAD design,
chain dimensioning
All product development takes place in our
own technical department, where the latest
3D CAD programs are used in the design of
mining chains, connectors, fight bars and
forging dies. Precise volume calculations
enable us to reduce material costs during
forging. 3D CAD programs are also used to
simulate complex chain routings over spro-
cket wheels and in conveyor installations.
Production line
THIELE mining products are manufactured at
the Iserlohn-Kalthof plant where the facilities
include the latest welding and bending
machines, forging hammers, CNC machines
and heat treatment lines.
Service
The company operates a mobile chain testing
service whereby accredited technicians are
able to carry out chain testing in-situ. We can
offer a full inspection program for chain
conveyors and also carry out chain wear
measurements on request. Specialists are also
available to oversee chain assembly and
commissioning of your conveyor systems.
Clients can also have their conveyor chains
checked for wear, material fatigue and
corrosion in our in-house laboratory, thereby
providing them with reliable information on
remaining chain life.
