Donghua Expands Automatic Chain Cutting Service

Donghua Limited has announced the expansion of its state-of-the-art automatic chain cutting facilities at its UK headquarters in the West Midlands. This development, which enhances both efficiency and precision, revolutionises how cut-to-length chain products are customised for customers.

Donghua has long been recognised for its commitment to innovation and quality in chain manufacturing. The recent upgrade to its in-house chain cutting capabilities marks yet another milestone in the company’s pursuit of customer-focused excellence. The expanded service boasts two fully automated chain cutting machines, each designed to cut a variety of chain types and pitch with accuracy and speed.

Precision and Efficiency

The automatic chain cutting machines are equipped with advanced technology that ensures each chain is cut to the exact length required. This precision is critical for applications where even the slightest deviation can lead to operational issues or mechanical failures. By eliminating manual cutting processes, Donghua significantly reduces the margin for error, providing customers with a product that meets their specifications perfectly, every time.

The new machines can handle a wide range of chain sizes from ½” pitch to 11/4” pitch, and are programmed to cut Leaf Chain and Roller Chain and produce Extended Pin Chains.

Increased Capacity and Reduced Lead Times

The expansion of Donghua’s automatic chain cutting facilities is a response to growing customer demand. With two machines now operational, the company has doubled its cutting capacity. This allows Donghua to meet higher order volumes, but also reduces their already lean lead times.

Faster turnaround times without compromising on quality is beneficial for customers who support industries where delays can have costly repercussions.

Customer Satisfaction

The ability to deliver tailored solutions to customers is a key differentiator in the competitive UK chain manufacturing market. By investing in cutting-edge technology and expanding its facilities in the UK, Donghua ensures it can continue to meet, and exceed, customer expectations.

The automatic chain cutting service is designed to be flexible and responsive. Customers can provide specific measurements and receive chains cut to those exact dimensions, reducing the need for further adjustments on site. This service is especially valuable for OEMs and maintenance engineers who require precision-cut chains for immediate installation.

Future Plans

Donghua’s expansion of its automatic chain cutting facilities is only the start. They have plans to install a further two machines each dedicated to the cutting of a specific range of chain. For more information visit: https://www.donghua.co.uk/
