The Challenge
One of the world’s leading producers of fiber-based packaging, pulp and paper had a site in Louisiana that needed a solution to address a competitor’s self-lube roller chain which only lasted up to 13 weeks in a bark screen. Even though the chain featured oil-filled bushings designed to keep the chain pins lubricated, dirt and bark worked its way into the screen, causing wear and failure.
The Solution
To stop the wear and tear, Timken Drives experts recommended 100-1R Extended Life CHP® chain. The design features chrome-hardened pins, which reduce chain elongation and deliver wear and shock load performance.
