THE FROST PRICE FOR EXAMPLE: : : 72 MONTHSM : : $18.00/FT MONTH: ONTHS = $18.00/72 MONTHSM RICE = T $0.25 FOOT MONTH Comparison = THE RIGHT PRICE FOR EXAMPLE: FORGED SUCH AS MICROTUFF : : 32 MONTHSM : : $18.00/FT MONTH: ONTHS = $18.00/32 MONTHSM $0.57 FOOT MONTH THE CALCULATIONS ABOVE SHOW THAT THE FROST PRICE EQUALS THE LOWEST! 3000 feet of chain / 102 weeks of use Frost SL MT-15 Avg wear/week - 10' strand " Chain Stretch (inches) Ford Motor Company Case Study Chain Wear results for 3,000 ft. of Chain Frost SL Micro-Tuff Weeks of Operation THE CASE STUDY A Ford Motor Company truck assembly plant in Kentucky collected data over a period of 102 weeks comparing the Frost SL 8640 chain to a forged pin chain such as Microtuff on the same paint line. THE DATA REPORTED SHOWS THAT OVER THE 102 WEEK IOD THE FROST IS FAR SUIOR THAN THE FORGED SUCH AS MICROTUFF!

4 E HAIN: BENEFITS All 10ft (3.05 m) strands are exactly the same length (Strands Vary only.012 inches (0.3 mm) per 10ft length) Substantially Lower Cost (72 month estimated life cycle) Retains Consistent Job Spacing on the Line (All chain pins wear at the same reduced wear rate) No Initial Maintenance Cost (Eliminates system break-in wear or stretch) Prevents Premature Chain Link Failure (Consistent in microstructure and hardness resulting from computer controlled heat treat) Quieter Running (Smooth running surfaces) Increases Conveyor Drive Life (Less friction lowers the amperage draw)

5 FORGED SUCH AS MICROTUFF: : DIFFICULTIES Forged pin chains cannot be assembled to precision tolerances (32 month estimated life cycle) Higher Monthly Cost (32 month estimated life cycle) Job Spacing Becomes Compromised (Chain pins wear at varying rates) Always Requires Maintenance Cost (Chain links always need to be removed) Untimely Chain Breaks (Irregularities in microstructure and hardness which result from different temperatures in the heat treat process) Noisy Running (Rough running surfaces) Reduced Conveyor Drive Life (Friction creates a higher amperage draw on the conveyor system)

6 L in k Sets Smooth Link Inches FORGED SUCH AS MICROTUFF: AFTER A 15 MONTHM IOD YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH VARIATION AND INCONSISTENCY THERE IS WITH THE FORGED SUCH AS MICROTUFF. THET MAX ALLOWABLE WEAR SET IS 0.4 INCHES WHICH THE FORGED SUCH AS MICROTUFF NEARLY EXCEEDS. PROVE MY POINT YET? Link Sets : : AFTER A IOD OF 3 YEARSY EARS, THE C SHOWS THAT THE WEAR SET IS 0.1 INCHES AND IT IS CONSISTENT FROM TO. HAT... PROVING THAT ALL S WEAR AT THE SAME REDUCED RATE. Microtuff Inches

7 CHECK WITH ANY E USER TO CONFIRM THAT THERE IS NO REMOVAL REQUIRED DURING THE NEW BREAK IN IOD. Microtuff Smooth Link CHECK WITH ANY E USER TO CONFIRM THAT E PREVENTS PREMATURE FAILURE. COMPUTERIZED HEAT TREAT,, CONSISTENTC MICROSTRUCTURE, AND 100% PROOFP LOADING IS WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!
