Its simple design, with open barrel structure, minimizes pin surface contact with chain gearing face, thus reducing the likelihood of seizure because of corrosion and the occurrence of material build in the roots of the sprockets. The chain is very suited, for that reason, in handling materials with a inclination to pack and corrode. Steel Pintle chain is suited a wide variety of agricultural and industrial applications. The chain utilises all warmth treated components with riveted pin style.
