Industrial chain has many applications in the wood products industry. Chain is used to transport logs, lumber, veneer, plywood, oriented strandboard (OSB), medium density fibre board (MDF), chips, sawdust, bark, hog fuel, ash, etc.
Typical chain types are roller chain, self lube chain, sharp top chain, canter infeed bottom chain, welded steel drag chain, attachment chain, plastic chain, stainless steel chain, non marking chain, wide profile chain, drop forged chain, cast iron chain, non metallic chain, leaf chain, tire chain, hoist chain. Most chain is available as standard duty and heavy duty.
Sprockets for chain are welded sprockets, cast iron sprockets, stainless steel sprockets, cast nylon sprockets, UHNW sprockets, segmented sprockets and split sprockets.
