INDUSTRIES
DROP Sprockets offers an extensive product line that provides a wide and complete range of sprockets for all Industries.
PULP & PAPER
Heavy loads, corrosive and abrasive conditions are a common reality in handling logs, wood chips, pulp, chemicals and other raw materials at pulp and paper mills. Our sprockets meet the requirements for the Pulp and Paper Industry.
SAWMILLS
Industrial sprockets have many applications in the wood products industry. The main sprockets DROP develops for the logging industry are roller chain sprockets. DROP's popular welded, cast iron, stainless steel, cast nylon, segmented and split sprockets have a large applicability in the Sawmill sector.
MINING
​DROP is developing raw components that provide continuous transportation from mines to processing plants, storage or loading facilities.
To access profitable material deposits located near the surface, heavy machinery and blasting techniques are used to remove overburden soil and rock. As the extraction and process of the raw material are done in the most demanding of environments, the components of the machinery need to excel in these conditions. For these applications, DROP offers a wide variety of tried and tested heavy duty roller chain sprockets, conveyor chain sprockets, engineering class sprockets and so on.

OIL & GAS
​Oil & Gas processing requires mechanical solutions for a multitude of uses. DROP's products enable trouble-free performance under the rough service conditions of drilling and production.
​
DROP is manufacturing not only sprockets for the Oil & Gas industry but also other components that are used in drilling rigs and Oil & Gas Extraction. Our team has the ability to design and develop parties for special applications on request of the customer.
STEEL INDUSTRIES
Conveying products with chain and sprockets is typically a high load low speed operation. Drop's Sprockets are designed to carry these loads throughout your process providing safe and reliable sprocket components for your operation.
AGGREGATE
The raw materials used in most industries (such as rock, stone, gravel, cement) usually need to be processed and transported. DROP manufactures the necessary components & systems for crushing, drying and moving these heavy materials within the lowest costs possible.
MANUFACTURING
Sprockets are commonly used in manufacturing to move items through a series of processes and machinery. Variance in manufacturing equipment between operations often requires a completely custom setup, which is where we come in. DROP Sprockets manufactures a full line of sprockets for your conveyance and power transmission needs, including engineering, roller chain, drum sprockets and more.
HYDRO
Sprockets are the unsung hero of the hydroelectric dam, providing the necessary strength to lift tainter gates for flow regulation, as well as safe and reliable power transmission. Turbines transfer the kinetic energy of rushing water to a generator via specialized sprockets and chains. DROP manufactures engineered sprockets for hydroelectric applications with corrosion resistant coating and in a variety of materials including stainless steel, upon request.
ASPHALT
Producing and transporting any sort of aggregate product requires careful engineering to ensure equipment is built to last. This is an industry where abrasion, shock loads, and high temperatures commonly affect material lifespan, which is why we offer impact resistant sprockets cut from flame hardened plate steel and cast iron for every chain on the market.
