Applications in cement, mining and power
Cement plants rely on chain conveyors and bucket elevators for raw meal, clinker and cement. Mines use apron feeders and conveyors at crushers and stockpiles. Power plants handle coal and ash with similar equipment, and all of them need dependable chain slings for shutdown and maintenance work. Choosing chain and sling grade, size and configuration correctly is key to safe, long-lasting service.
Lifting gear safety and inspection
Chain slings and lifting accessories should be inspected before each use and examined periodically by a competent person, as required by applicable regulations. Check the identification tag and working load limit, and remove from service any sling with stretched, bent, cracked or worn links, damaged hooks or missing safety latches. Never exceed the working load limit, and allow for the sling angle, which reduces capacity as it increases. Keep inspection records for every sling.
Price depends on model, capacity and configuration, so share load, lift or conveying details for an accurate quote. A RUD lifting chains and slings supplier with a wider industrial range, we also supply SKF bearings and Fenner power transmission products for the same equipment.

RUD Lifting Chains and Slings FAQs
How do I select the right RUD chain sling?
Consider the load weight, number of legs, sling angle, headroom, type of attachment point and the working environment such as heat or chemicals. The working load limit of a multi-leg sling reduces as the leg angle increases, so the angle must be included in the calculation. Our team can help you select the correct configuration.
How often should lifting chains and slings be inspected?
Slings should be checked visually by the user before every use and thoroughly examined at regular intervals by a competent person, as required by applicable regulations and the manufacturer's instructions. Any sling with damaged, stretched or worn links, a deformed hook or a missing identification tag should be removed from service.
Which RUD equipment is used in cement plants?
Cement plants commonly use chain conveyors, scraper conveyors and bucket elevators for raw meal, clinker and cement, apron feeders at crushers and hoppers, and chain slings for maintenance lifts. The right choice depends on material temperature, abrasiveness, capacity and lift height.
What decides the price of RUD conveyors and bucket elevators?
Price depends on model, capacity and configuration: the material handled, throughput required, lift height or conveying length, chain type and drive arrangement. Share your process data through the Request a Quote button or call +91 9001 894 490 for a proposal.
