Debris falls through this chain, so it doesn’t jam the rollers and bring everything to a halt. Originally designed to move lumber while letting splinters and sawdust drop to the floor, this chain has the largest roller spacing in our offering. Flat, oblong side plates create a level surface that keeps items moving along conveyor lines with no hang- ups. Unlike standard roller chain, there are no divots to snag products. Pair this chain with sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts. Lubrication is key to smooth operation and long chain life. Routinely apply oil by hand or install an oil dispenser for continuous lubrication. Steel — The go-to for roller chain, steel is strong and economical. While proper lubrication helps prevent rusting, it’s not as corrosion resistant as coated or stainless steel.
