About

The agricultural machinery range from iwis agrisystems includes not only feeder and elevator chains for a wide variety of applications, but also the associated attachments for the respective chain types. The iwis roller chain series HBC (Heavy Baler Chain) was developed especially for use in balers. iwis agrisystems also offers a wide range of accessories such as sprockets, V-belt pulleys, roller chains, plus complete application kits for agricultural machinery production. All agricultural chains from iwis agrisystems are subjected to rigorous testing in the laboratories, test rigs and simulators at our production plants, so consistently high reliability and quality are guaranteed, even in the harshest working environment. We work together with machine manufacturers to create tailor-made drive solutions in our agricultural centre in Sontra, which are put into serial production after extensive testing. We can supply all chains by the metre or, on request, in installable kits. iwis agrisystems manufactures chains and systems for nearly all agricultural machines of all makes. iwis provides a wide range of services to agricultural machinery manufacturers and users worldwide either by the company’s own locations, or by service and consultancy partners, representatives or agencies. iwis produces a large variety of chains for all fields of application. In our portfolio you find elevator chains for use in combine harvesters, feeder chains and gathering chains. Picking chains for maize, sunflowers and other special crops as well as drive chains complete the iwis product range. The new ELITE roller chain Series HBC (Heavy Baler Chain) was developed by iwis especially for the demanding conditions of baler applications. HBC roller chains are characterised by their outstanding fatigue strength and extremely high wear resistance, yet only require the same space as standard roller chains with the same pitch. Our team of experienced engineers and designers constantly puts its store of technical know-how to practical use: finding solutions for the challenges of customer projects. We support you
