Its simple style, with open barrel construction, minimizes pin surface contact with chain gearing face, thus reducing the possibility of seizure due to corrosion and the occurrence of materials build in the roots of the sprockets. The chain is very suited, as a result, in handling components with a inclination to pack and corrode. Steel Pintle chain is suited a wide variety of agricultural and industrial applications. The chain utilises all temperature treated elements with riveted pin design.
