Paper & Pulp Industry Industrial Chains & Sprockets

Paper and Pulp Industry

At Can-Am Chains Europe, we understand the demanding requirements of the paper and pulp industry, where machinery operates continuously under high loads, variable speeds, and often harsh environmental conditions. From raw material processing to finished paper production, reliable chain systems are essential for conveying, lifting, and driving equipment throughout the plant. Our chains are engineered for long service life, precise operation, and minimal maintenance, helping paper mills achieve consistent output and operational efficiency.

Chains Built for Industrial Performance

In paper and pulp plants, chains are used in a variety of applications, including power transmission, material conveying, and synchronization of moving components. Can-Am chains are designed to meet the high mechanical and environmental demands of the industry, where continuous operation, moisture, dust, and occasional exposure to chemicals require durable, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant components.

Key Types of Chains

• Roller Chains – The most common and versatile type, used for power transmission in conveyors and mechanical drives where efficient, smooth operation is essential.
• Drop Forged Chain – Designed for harsh conditions, ash removal etc with  heavy loads within plant operations, offering high tensile strength and robust performance.
• Conveyor Chains – Include Welded steel, M and FV series chains, and pusher dog chains for transporting bulk materials safely and efficiently.

Applications in Machine and Plant Engineering

Can-Am chains are integral to the machinery and plant systems that keep paper production running efficiently:

• Manufacturing & Conveying – Chains provide reliable movement of raw materials, semi-finished, and finished products along conveyors, ensuring a consistent flow of production.
• Material Handling – Used in conveyors, draglines, and elevators, chains move heavy or delicate materials safely and efficiently.
• Power Transmission – Chains transfer energy to drive various components in machinery, from simple mechanical systems to complex automated lines.
• Synchronization – Chains synchronize the motion of multiple machine parts, ensuring precise operation and reducing the risk of misalignment or product damage.

Precision Engineering and Customization

Every Can-Am chain is manufactured with precision engineering and heat-treated components, including sidebars, pins, and rollers, to meet strict dimensional tolerances and achieve superior mechanical properties. Chains are available in a range of metals and coatings, such as zinc or nickel, to enhance wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and overall durability.

For specialized applications, custom attachments and configurations can be integrated into chains, allowing machine builders to tailor solutions for unique functionalities within paper and pulp processing plants.

Can-Am Chains Europe delivers durable, high-performance chain solutions designed to meet the rigorous demands of the paper and pulp industry, ensuring consistent production, reduced downtime, and reliable operation across all stages of processing.
