Conveyor chains, chain wheels, and guiding devices are essential components in sawmills where timber is transported on conveyor chains throughout the entire wood processing process. Sawmill chains should require minimal maintenance and minimize production disruptions and downtime.

«CEPRUS» sawmill chains are designed in close cooperation between equipment manufacturers and the sawmill industry so that chains can meet the requirements and expectations of production as closely as possible.
Log processing is the most demanding operation of conveyor chains in sawmills.

Chains are constantly subjected to strong shocks and peak loads. In addition, chains are operated in frequently changing weather conditions, as well as in heavy frost or rain. Wear and tear are also increased by sand and other foreign material getting on the chain together with logs.

Log conveyor chains consist of a conveyor chain and grippers connected crosswise to it. The most common objects of use are log sorting equipment and various conveyor belts.

The job of the grippers is to take the force caused by the load and hold the load on the surface of the chain. Grippers often support the chain in such a way that the gripper acts as a wear surface as it slides along the guide rail.

We have many options for grippers and are constantly designing new models. There is no limit to the dimensions of the grippers and, if the customer wishes, the material can also be replaced by a more wear-resistant one. Particularly the model and material of the vertical gripper plates are often modified, often completely tailored to the needs of the individual company. This makes it possible to achieve the most efficient functioning of the equipment.
