Connexus Industries Counters Cement Abrasion With Howitzer Link

Recession no longer defines the North American economy. Instead a surge in employment, consumer spending, and financial stability has occurred - and with that surge has come a rise in construction. New infrastructural changes, along with suburban developments, are dotting the Canadian and U.S. landscapes; and this had led to an increase in concrete production, with Statista anticipating a steady year-over-year growth pattern through 2018.This growth will signal economic success... and high abrasion, with cement drag conveyors struggling to adapt to accelerated operations. To counter this issue, Connexus Industries now delivers the Howitzer Link.
The Howitzer Link - developed originally for the Potash Industry and then re-engineered - boasts a 4330 alloy steel construction. This allows it to adapt to the rigors of the cement industry, with its 420 BHN targeting ensuring an enhanced resistance to abrasion. This combines with a 400 BHN induction-hardened pin to minimize overall impact.
Through this the Howitzer Link can easily accommodate all drag conveyor needs, delivering consistent performance (even in the wake of increased demand). It’s designed for durability.
