When a drive runs in a wet, washed-down or chemically exposed area, a Diamond BSS series roller chain is a common choice. It is a stainless steel transmission chain built to ISO/British Standard dimensions, available in sizes 06BSS, 08BSS, 10BSS, 12BSS and 16BSS. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and quotes by part number through WhatsApp or email.

The part number tells you two things. The number at the front is the pitch size under the British standard: 06, 08, 10, 12 and 16 are the usual options. The letters BSS indicate the stainless steel version within Diamond's Sapphire line. So 08BSS and 12BSS are the same chain type with different pitches. To get a quote, just send the complete designation, such as 10BSS.

These chains show up in food and beverage processing, washdown zones, water treatment, chemical and pharmaceutical operations, and any equipment that gets hosed down or sits outdoors. Typical examples include bottle conveyors, washing tunnels, packaging machinery and drag systems in meat plants. The stainless construction resists the oxidation that would take down a carbon steel chain, so the drive keeps moving in wet conditions.

Selection starts with the sprocket pitch, then confirm the strand count and width match the sprocket. Check shaft alignment, because misalignment speeds up wear on plates and rollers. Use a lubricant that works with stainless steel and the surrounding environment; in washdown areas a water-resistant grease is a good idea. Tension matters too: too tight and you load the bearings, too loose and the chain can jump the sprocket. If the equipment runs hot, tell us and we will point you to the right variant.

Because Diamond BSS chains follow the ISO/British Standard, their pitch and roller dimensions interchange with other brands made to the same standard. That means you can swap out a worn chain for one with the same designation without touching the sprockets. If you have a chain with no markings, send a photo plus the pitch, width and roller measurements, and we will identify a compatible equivalent.

MR Industrial Accessories carries the Diamond line and quotes the BSS chain you need. Send the full part number by WhatsApp or email, for example 06BSS or 16BSS, and we will reply promptly. If your equipment calls for a different pitch, width or material, write to us with the model and we will help you sort it out.
