⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Peterson - Manufacturing Plant Engineer
"We've integrated the Simplex 12B Pro Model sprocket into our conveyor line, and it’s been a game-changer. The hardened steel teeth (HRC 55) have eliminated the frequent wear issues we had with aluminum sprockets. After 7 months of continuous operation, there’s barely any sign of degradation. Installation was a breeze thanks to the prebore no-keyway hub—cut our setup time by nearly a third."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria Gonzalez - Family Farm Owner
"I replaced the worn sprockets on our feed conveyor with the Simplex 12B Advanced Model, and they’ve held up perfectly through spring planting and summer harvest. The alloy steel construction handles dust, moisture, and heavy loads without issue. I also appreciate the EPR compliance—it gives peace of mind knowing we're using environmentally responsible components. No maintenance beyond a quick wipe-down, just like the FAQ says."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Lin - DIY Enthusiast & Mechanic
"Bought the Base Model for my custom-built wood splitter. It’s compact, fits perfectly with my existing 12B chain, and has handled over 150 uses so far with zero slippage. The Z13 tooth count was ideal for my setup. While I wish there were more bore size options in the base line, the customization option mentioned in the specs is a great bonus for future projects. Solid build for the price."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Viktor Ivanov - Mining Equipment Technician
"We tested three different sprockets on our ore transport conveyor—two from competitors, one Simplex 12B Pro Model. After five months in a high-abrasion, high-load environment, the Simplex sprocket showed 30% less wear than the next best. The load capacity (1,560 N) and double-induction hardened teeth clearly make a difference. We’ve since ordered 12 more units for the rest of the line. Worth every euro."Purchase Date: June 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Thomas Reed - Warehouse Maintenance Supervisor
"Installed the Simplex 12B sprockets across six conveyor stations in our distribution center. They’ve been running non-stop for six months with no failures. The Z15 version provides smoother engagement with our longer-pitch chains, reducing vibration. Only reason I didn’t give five stars? The delivery took two weeks due to customization, but the team confirmed it was because we requested zinc plating for extra corrosion protection. Performance is excellent."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
