Its simple design, with open barrel building, minimizes pin surface contact with chain steel pintle chain gearing encounter, thus reducing the likelihood of seizure due to corrosion and the occurrence of materials build in the roots of the sprockets. The chain is very suited, therefore, in handling materials with a tendency to pack and corrode. Metal Pintle chain is appropriate a wide variety of agricultural and industrial applications. The chain utilises all warmth treated elements with riveted pin style.
