Plant Over the years Vicinay Cadenas has achieved major successes in developing
Engineering designs for machinery used in the fabrication of chain and chain accessories.

10 Geminis Cell

This is a new machine concept that allows us to fabricate chain with
no limitations on overall length and therefore without the need to join
lengths together to make a long length or use connection accessories.
The links are inspected immediately after fabrication, providing a major
process control and thus assurance of quality.

4000 Metric tons Test Machine

The need to develop a new machine to test chain and accessories comes
from the market trends towards higher grades and larger diameters. This
new machine with the capacity to test products up to 4000 tons allows us
to know the characteristics of the materials produced and its response in
terms of elasticity and break load.

DQT (Double Quenching and
Tempering)

Vicinay Cadenas has continuous heat treatment furnaces with a system
of double quenching and tempering. This treatment method is more
effective in obtaining better properties in both the base metal and weld
zones in grades R3, R3S, R4, R4S and R5.
This type of treatment makes it easier and more reliable to obtain
homogeneity in the weld zones of high alloy steels and larger diameter
chains.
