Agricultural Drive Chains & Components

Your Partner for a Successful Harvest

Farming equipment operates under some of the harshest conditions imaginable — dust, mud, fertilizer, and long operating hours during critical harvest windows. Downtime isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s lost yield and lost revenue. That’s why agricultural manufacturers and equipment operators around the world rely on iwis drive systems for dependable performance in the field.

Our farming drive chains are engineered for the realities of modern agriculture, from combines and balers to grain conveyors, feed mills, and irrigation systems. With precision manufacturing and advanced coatings, iwis delivers not just durability, but strength, reliability, and protection against corrosion and wear.

Proven Reliability in the Field

Whether in the field, feed mill, or processing plant, iwis chains and components are proven to last longer, run cleaner, and perform reliably, season after season. 

Washdown & Corrosive Environments

In operations subject to daily cleaning, iwis chains have achieved up to 18 months of service life, doubling durability compared to conventional carbon-steel chains while reducing maintenance costs by over $200,000 annually.

High-Load Conveying & Continuous Operation

In 24/7 production lines, iwis maintenance-free chains have demonstrated 2× to 3× longer wear life with no relubrication required — proving their strength under heavy load and high torque applications like feed conveyors and grain handling systems.

Corrosion Resistance & Protection

Across outdoor and chemical environments, iwis chain coatings haves shown superior resistance to moisture, fertilizer, and salt exposure, helping equipment operators extend component life even in high-humidity or field conditions.
