Combine feeder house conveyor chain

The feeder conveyor chain is the vital link that transfers harvested crop from the combine header into the threshing mechanism. This robust assembly consists of heavy-duty roller chains (like CA550 or CA557) fitted with durable slats that work together to create a steady, powerful flow of material, ensuring the heart of your harvest operation beats strong. Its primary role is to prevent bottlenecks and plugging, which are critical for maintaining harvest speed and minimizing grain loss.

Feeder chains are constructed from case-hardened alloy steel pins, bushings, and rollers to provide high tensile strength and maximum wear resistance. Many aftermarket chains feature chrome pins for extended wear life. The type of slat determines the chain’s application:

• Steel T‑Slats: The traditional standard for aggressive feeding in high-volume grain.

• Serrated Slats: Feature a notched edge for improved crop grip in tough conditions.

• Composite (Plastic) Slats: A modern alternative that is lighter, reduces noise, and is gentler on the crop, making them ideal for delicate crops like beans or canola.

Feeder conveyor chains are available as direct OEM replacements or high-quality aftermarket units for all major brands, including John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, and Gleaner. For seasonal maintenance, performance restoration, or a critical harvest repair, a quality feeder chain is the most essential component to ensure your combine operates at peak efficiency
