Since the initial installation of a chain conveyor in a coal face at the end of the forties, the round steel link chain has assumed a key role in the ever increasing mechanization in mining. This is particularly true today where efforts are being concentrated in extracting high tonnage from heavy-duty faces. The round steel link chains are an important machine element from which to a very high degree troublefree, profitable mining depends. A precondition for this has been the steady development and improvement of the high tensile round steel link chains to its present high technical status.

     Becker-Prünte has occupied itself since the very beginning with the task of improving the quality of its products and has played a major share in the development of high tensile round steel link chains and accessories. Constant contact with the users has given us the needed response to ensure we develop field-proven concepts.

     The recognized superior quality of Becker-Prünte products, which have proven themselves in the domestic and foreign mines, demands not only the special quality assurances provided by organizational and technical operating conditions, but a production facility which is constantly kept at the newest technical level. Every effort will also be undertaken in the future so that our claims are justified.
