Our engineers develop and manufacture high-performance chains in lubed or lube free design, in normal or galvanized steel, in powder coated or stainless steel. Every application is unique and requires adjustments in the chain design. KOBO is your one-stop shop for chains, sprockets and attachments.
Nationwide, almost all automotive plant use CC5 chains. KOBO has a proven record for CC5 chains of several years in the United States and Europe, where we for work with Ford and GM.
The CC5 design is still in place due its simplicity and success for several decades. KOBO kept improving the regular CC5 design to a lubrication free system. Low maintenance and no lubrication are huge cost saver over a chain's lifetime.
With our CC5 modular system you can adjust the sequence of the guide roller from CC5A without rollers, to CC5B with a roller in every inner link in seconds.
Wear blocks are available in different designs, plastic or steel, screwed, welded or clipped on.

The first step in manufacturing cars is the deformation of flat sheet metal to complex single automotive parts. These components are stamped in the press shop. Finished pieces move forward whereas scrap metal needs to be removed from the work shop. KOBO provides you with chains, sprockets and complete assemblies with flights for the scrap metal removal. We are your one stop shop for conveyor needs.
