John King Chains is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of sharp top chains, delivering reliable, durable, and precision-engineered chains to clients across the UK and the world.

But let’s take a closer look at sharp top chains and what makes them so important in the lumber sector.

What are Sharp Top Chains?

This type of chain is specifically designed for the timber processing industry, where they are typically employed in sawmills. They are a critical part of various pieces of equipment, including edgers, slashers, and stickers.

These lumber processing chains are engineered with sharp lugs or “tops” that are able to grip lumber and move it through the processing chain, providing stability and reducing slippage throughout high-speed operations.

A Wide Range of Applications

• Arguably one of the most important timber handling chains, the sharp top is ideal for a range of applications, including:
• Sawmill and lumber processing
• Material feeding systems
• Edger infeed and outfeed systems
• Slasher decks and sticker stackers
• Board conveyors

With aggressive grip and precision design, these chains facilitate the smooth and efficient transportation of a range of lumber products. With the right chain solution, you can improve the productivity of your operations while reducing wear of other components.
