Our Products Used in the Forest Industry
The rugged, abrasive and demanding environment of the forest products industry creates less than desirable conditions for chains and conveyors. The majority of the applications in this industry utilize a low-cost, high-strength, high-quality welded product. Webster’s welded steel chains provide customers with minimal maintenance and years of reliable service due to their simple, rugged design. Webster vibrating conveyors are effective solutions for the tough demands of the forest products industry. They have been a leader in servicing sawmills and other forest product applications for more than 40 years.
Forest industry chains and conveyors include:
• Welded Steel Mill Chains
• Welded Steel Drag Chains
• Welded Steel Heavy-Duty Drag Chains
• Steel Bushed Roller Chains
• Hardened Steel Bushed Chains
• Cast Chains
• FS Series Vibrating Conveyors
• ACTION Vibrating Conveyors
• ACTION Process Equipment
• Sprockets
Chain Products
Welded Steel Heavy-Duty Drag Chains
Welded steel heavy-duty drag chains are manufactured with larger, heftier parts with extra surface area for longer service life. Their rugged welded construction permits higher speeds, minimal lubrication and easy modification for application specific attachments.
Welded Steel Mill Chains
Welded steel mill chains are designed for rugged, abrasive and demanding environments.
Welded Steel Drag Chains
Welded steel drag chains are designed for drag conveyors where r ugged and demanding environments exist. Webster’s unique two-piece welded barrel offers better scraping action as well as double thickness at the wear points. The rugged welded construction permits high speeds, minimal lubrication and easy modification for application specific attachments.
Hardened Steel Bushed (HSB) Chains
Hardened steel bushed (HSB) chains are designed as a substitute for combination chains where conditions require a heavier, more rugged chain.
Steel Bushed Roller (SBR) Chains
Steel bushed roller (SBR) chains are manufactured with heat treated rollers, hardened bushings and pins, and steel sidebars. The roller type construction provides a lower operating friction which helps increase chain life and reduces conveyor design requirements. They are available in a variety of sizes, configurations and designs and can be used in tough industrial applications. SBR chains come with a variety of standard attachments for immediate delivery.
WS and DW Combination Chains
WS and DW combination chains have block links that are designed to provide extra wear surfaces for sliding on both the carrying and return runs of wood yard conveyors. This makes it possible to eliminate the return idler sprockets which cause internal wear of the chain parts.
Combination Rooftop Transfer Chain
Combination rooftop transfer chain is used chiefly in two or more strands on transfer conveyors handling lumber, boxes, packages, barrels, bars, etc. Only the bevel tops of the links project about the guides, permitting loading and unloading to be done transversely.
Rooftop Transfer Chains
Rooftop transfer chain is used chiefly in two or more stands on transfer conveyors handling lumber, boxes, packages, barrels, bars, etc. Only the bevel tops of the links project about the guides, permitting loading and unloading to be done transversely.
Combination Type Drag Chain
Combination type drag chains are designed with sections heavier than comparable sizes of H type drag chains. The double offset wear shoes on the cast link provide wear surfaces for both carrying and return runs, thus increasing chain life.
H Type Drag Chains
H type drag chains have links designed to operate in troughs or runways, in single or multiple strands. The underside of the links are broad to provide liberal wear surface. They are designed for heavy-duty operation imposed by drag conveyor service such as moving sawdust, refuse, fine coal, ash and other material in places where an economical installation is required.
H Class Mill Chains
H class mill chains are of one-piece cast offset link construction joined together by steel clipped heads. They are used primarily for drag conveyor service in the lumber, pulp and paper industries. They are also desirable for transfer and conveying purposes.
400 Class Pintle Chains
400 class pintle chains are of one-piece cast offset link construction joined together by steel pins. When furnished with attachments, they are normally used for conveyors and elevators where much slower speeds are recommended.
