High-Strength Sharp Top Chain for Industrial Machinery

Sharp Top Conveyor Roller Chain Toothed Side for Lumber Wood Machine Chipper Parts

Key Design & Performance Features

1. Enhanced Grip & Stability

   Serrated plate tops minimize slippage for logs, lumber, and bulk materials; solid center plates prevent debris packing, while precision-ground flat bottoms ensure even load distribution and reduced bed wear.

2. High-Strength Construction

   Heat-treated alloy steel plates (shot-peened for fatigue resistance), induction-hardened pins, and solid bushings/rollers deliver 10–15% higher tensile strength vs. standard chains of the same pitch; pre-lubricated with anti-rust oil for extended service life.

3. Sprocket Compatibility & Customization

   Fully interchangeable with standard ANSI sprockets (min. 17 teeth recommended); available in single/multi-strand configurations, with optional attachments (C1 carriers, W1 scrapers) and finishes (black oxide, zinc-plated, hot-dip galvanized).

4. Environmental Adaptability

   Standard finish resists moisture and mild abrasion; upgrade to stainless steel for corrosive settings. Avoid continuous exposure to strong acids/alkalies.

Application Scenarios

• Primary: Sawmills, log decks, lumber conveyors, pulp/paper processing, bulk material (aggregate, grain) handling.

• Secondary: Agricultural machinery, waste management, heavy-duty assembly lines requiring secure part transfer.

• Limitations: Not for high-speed power transmission (>1.5 m/s); use stainless steel variants for coastal/chemical environments.

Selection & Installation Guidelines

1. Load & Speed Matching

   Calculate static/dynamic loads with a minimum safety factor of 4; limit speed to ≤1.0 m/s for drag/conveyor applications.

2. Sprocket & Tension Setup

   Use standard ANSI sprockets (17+ teeth) to reduce vibration; maintain chain tension at 1–2% of center distance to avoid excessive wear.

3. Maintenance Best Practices

   Re-lubricate pins/bushings biweekly (use high-temperature grease for ≥80°C); inspect serrations monthly for wear, and replace if tooth height is reduced by >30%.
