Lubrication Methods for Wood Conveyor Chains

2026 05/16

Whether for wood conveyor chains or other types of conveyor chains, regular maintenance is essential. Adding lubricants or oils is one of the key maintenance practices. There are several lubrication methods, which we will introduce below.
  1. Drip lubrication – Oil is dripped through an oil cup and an oil tube into the gap between the inner and outer chain plates on the slack side of the chain.

  2. Pressure oil spray lubrication – An oil pump continuously supplies oil to the chain through an oil line. The circulating oil not only lubricates but also helps cool the chain.

  3. Manual periodic oiling – Oil is applied regularly by an operator using an oil can or a brush.

  4. Oil bath or splash lubrication – A sealed transmission housing is used. In the oil bath method, part of the chain and sprocket are immersed in oil. In the splash method, a large-diameter oil slinger disc splashes oil onto the chain.

The important role of lubrication in wood conveyor chains is well understood. By choosing the right lubrication method, we can improve chain smoothness, ensure more reliable operation, and achieve effective maintenance.
