P101.6 bush chain for sugar mills: 101.6 mm pitch, SS102B build, 160 kN tensile strength, 11.25 kg/m.
The SHINING P101.6 is a bush chain built for sugar-mill conveying. It runs at a 101.6 mm pitch with a 25.40 mm roller, a 15.70 mm pin and a 54.00 mm width between the inner plates. The average tensile strength is 160 kN (35,968 lbf) and the chain weighs 11.25 kg/m.
The bush and roller run on a hardened pin, so the wear is taken at the bush and the pin is protected - which is what keeps a carrier chain tight between shutdowns. The chain is supplied in the SS102B build shown in the table below.
Cane Feed and Washing Tables: conveying cane into the mill where the chain runs wet and abrasive.
Bagasse Carriers: carrying wet bagasse away from the milling train.
Juice Filters and Screens: drives where a steady pitch matters.
Waste and Return Conveying: mixed refuse and return-material duty.
Grain and Bulk Handling: the same chain is used where a 101.6 mm pitch bush chain fits.
Every working part - pin, bush and roller - is heat-treated or hardened to reach the strength and working life the sugar duty demands, not left in the as-machined state.
The chain is built for high strength and a long working life under continuous load, which is what keeps a mill's carrier line running between shutdowns.
The roller turns on the bush rather than sliding, so friction and wear are taken at the bush/roller interface and the pin is protected from the abrasive load.
A full line of matching sprockets is available, and attachments are made to your drawing, so chain, sprocket and attachment come from one source and wear together.
Chain, sprockets, slats, buckets and shafts can all be supplied together, so the whole assembly is sized and matched by one manufacturer instead of being pieced together.
The table below gives the standard P101.6 bush chain. Pitch and other linear dimensions are in mm, average tensile strength in kN/lbf and mass in kg/m. Other widths, pins and attachments are made to order.

| P | d1 max | b1 min | d2 max | L max | h2 max | t max | Q min | q | |
| mm | mm | mm | mm | mm | mm | mm | KN/lbf | KG/m | |

SHINING has manufactured conveyor chain and sprockets for sugar mills for over twenty years, with drop forging, welding, machining and heat treatment under our own control. Every production batch is tensile-tested before shipment, and our quality system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (46026Q00958R053) and ISO 14001:2015 (46026E00959R053).
We build to interchange. Send the OEM part number, an old link or a drawing, and we will confirm the match and reproduce it dimension-for-dimension, with sprockets and attachments cut to suit.
Standard production lead time is 60 days from receipt of the order and confirmation of the drawing. For breakdowns and planned shutdowns we can discuss an expedited slot - tell us your date and we will plan the delivery around it.
Our engineers support station and duty review, chain selection, wear and elongation analysis, maintenance planning, and genuine replacement parts. Send your conveying duty and we will size the chain for you.
Tell us your duty, your drawing or the OEM part number, and our engineers will come back with the right chain and a price. Email the sales team at sales@shiningco.com.
