Sharp Top Roller Chain for Forestry and Timber Transportation

Sharp top chains are made of top-grade materials to provide the greater hardness necessary to resist corrosion and oxidation while maintaining strength at high temperatures. Solid center plates reduce failure due to sawdust and chip packing. We also offer precision ground flat bottom chains that reduce wear and damage to your chain bed and distribute loads evenly.

Our sharp top roller chains are one of the many products that we are confident will not disappoint, and they have become one of the widest-used chains in forestry and lumber applications. It utilizes a uniquely engineered design that allows the chain to physically grip onto the lumber or product to pull it along as a conveyor. Because of the application types that sharp top chains are used in, our chains have been manufactured to the utmost premium stands while remaining competitively priced without corner cutting.

Types of Sharp Top Chains

There are six types of sharp top chains: one, two, three, four, five, and six stand variations. More commonly, they max out at four, but our technical staff is on hand to create custom chains per your needs. Each of these chains is designed to have a precise tooth sharpness that has the least possible penetration while maintaining a solid grip on materials.

The more stands of a sharp top chain, the more complexity it requires for it to be durable while remaining efficient. Each of our chains is designed to have a solid center plate to prevent them from snapping midway usage, as sawdust and chip compaction presents considerable obstacles to their efficiency. Our Quest (TM) technology provides added durability that will provide you with years of problem-free usage, however, you might decide to use them.

We also can include an optional machined smooth bottom that will reduce the overall damage to the chain beds. One other optional process we offer is called ProCoat (TM), which provides unrivaled resistance to corrosion for use in challenging environments of all kinds. All sharp top chains are available in ¾”, 1¼”, 1½ “, and 2” pitch sizes.

We have rich experience in manufacturing sharp top chains. HZPT's Sharp Top Chain is performed excellently, smoothly and precise in heavy load impact, heavy load operation. This type of chain is one of our featured products. HZPT only selects high-quality alloy steel and advanced heat treatment technology and special processes, eliminating the three major problems of tooth easy breakages, plastically deformation and fracture; attaining ideal quality surface condition and tooth height dimensional accuracy.

Working closely with our engineers and our customers' specifications, we calculate the optimal degree of sharpness for the top teeth for each application, maximizing performance by balancing high grip with low penetration and tear out. Knowing that lumber sawmills' success lays in running at the highest speed possible, with the smallest margins of error, waste, and downtime, our chains are designed to run accurately at speeds of over 1,400 fpm.
Some of the common profiles that we manufacture both in ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and in ISO (metric, British Standard) standards, can be found on our specific catalog or in the general catalog, but if you can't find what you are looking for, get in touch with us, we will be more than happy to work together with you.
