Its simple design, with open barrel structure, minimizes pin surface connection with chain gearing face, thus reducing the probability of seizure because of corrosion and the occurrence of materials build in the roots of the sprockets. The chain is very suited, for that reason, in handling components with a tendency to pack and corrode. Steel Pintle chain is suited a multitude of agricultural and commercial applications. The chain utilises all high temperature treated components with riveted pin style.
