Repetition propels North America’s economy - with operations performed constantly and consistently, an endless series of pushing, pulling, and hauling. Every industry (from logging to manufacturing, mining to harvesting) maintains a careful schedule of processes.It’s no surprise that these processes eventually take a toll on chains - with repetitive, persistent friction undermining the strength of every link. The materials weaken; the attachments break; and companies are then forced to endure lengthy (and costly) downtimes.
Connexus Industries wishes to change this, offering our clients custom chain profiles. We pair rugged stainless steel materials with precise casting, recessing both the heads and rivets of each product. This provides optimum protection from everyday operations, shielding the sides from damage.
It also allows us to fuse each chain with heavier cross sections. That enhances the strength of every link, increasing the surface area and promoting more efficient load distributions. Overall pressure is lessened to ensure long-lasting results - and this proves essential for North America’s leading fields.

Consumption levels prove high in North America, with a recent study from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reveling increased demands for dietary fat, saturated fat, and animal products. Household levels waver between 15% to 35% above worldwide ratios, leading to a need for increased processing.Connexus Industries knows, however, that this processing often wreaks havoc on equipment - fusing every conveyor with antioxidants, surface agents, and harsh chemical additives. These elements undermine the functionality (and durability) of traditional chains, weakening their linkage.
To counter this we provide our clients with stainless steel chains. These items have been precisely engineered for the food industry, delivering superior protection against chemical streams and constant conveyor wash-downs. Their heat-treated materials resist both corrosion and oxidation, and their low-draft profiles ensure even distributions. This promotes longevity with every operation.
The food industry was among the few that didn’t suffer the effects of the Great Recession of 2007 - and it continues to grow in North America, with companies accelerating their schedules and developing new flavors. Our stainless steel chains ensure that these flavors don’t interfere with the production process.

The Sense-A-Cut III Ensures Lumber Mill Precision In North America
Tags:
(Posted on Mar 7, 2016 at 09:59AM by Lee Byard)
The pursuit of precision shapes every mill. Too often, however, does this pursuit prove futile, with human error affecting approximately 16% of all milling operations - reducing lumber yields, impacting profits, and interfering with resource management. The life-cycle of every operation is rendered ineffective.This, Connexus Industries knows, translates to potentially billions of wasted dollars - and we seek to counter this through our Sense-A-Cut III system.
The Sense-A-Cut III is a bandsaw deviation control system, used to assess, monitor, and display any instances of deflection. Through its continuous feed speed adjustments, it allows mills to achieve superior cutting. It also undermines the potential for human error - offering password protected operational parameters.
These parameters prove essential for mills. They ensure that only qualified personnel can determine the system’s objectives, including productivity and performance. By fusing each operation with passwords, Sense-A-Cut III drastically reduces the chance for accidental error. Each deviation is instead monitored with the greatest of care.
This promotes more efficient operations, allowing lumbar mills to generate profits instead of mistakes.

In 1896 William Henry Merrill - graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and consulting electrician for the Chicago World’s Fair - launched the Underwriters’ Electric Bureau. This national board was intended to both examine and improve safety within the industrial field. Through it the leading technologies of the time (including arc lamps, rheostats, and fixture insulation joints) were carefully tested, and from these tests came a series of ethical codes and standards.These standards remain today.
The Underwriters’ Electric Bureau - now known as Underwriters’ Laboratories - has served North America for more than a century, helping the commercial and industrial markets improve their operations. It serves as the leading authority on compliance and safety implementation.
This is why Connexus Industries is proud to announce that we’ve achieved UL Certification.
March brings more than spring for Connexus Industries. It instead provides UL Certification, with our Lazer Tracker products receiving recognition for their quality and market standards. The award - which was earned through the efforts of Ralph Cook and his development team - showcases our commitment to client service. We ensure that every workplace environment receives superior safety and operations.
