Timber industry

KÖBO manufactures chains and sprockets for various applications in the timber industry. Together with our international customers, we develop bespoke solutions for all types of application. Specialised knowledge is required for timber handling processes. This is due to the wide variety of timber species and their differing shapes, sizes and weights. Our many years of experience and the resulting reliability in project delivery often give our customers a decisive competitive edge.

The KÖBO portfolio covers the entire range of chains for the wood-processing industry: from debarking to the sawmill, from the sorting line to the finished planing mill. We offer our chains and products in all international sizes. Incidentally, as a full-range supplier, we are among the leaders in quality and innovation in this segment on the international markets.

KÖBO chains and KÖBO sprockets are the first choice in this specialist sector too. Their true strength really comes to the fore when it comes to delivering flawless, long-term performance under extreme loads, high shock loads and in damp, sandy conditions. Whether for debarking, sawing, cutting or sorting – KÖBO chain systems meet requirements and exceed expectations.

The saw line is the heart of the sawmill. From timber feeding through the saw line itself to the sorting line, KÖBO supplies high-quality drive and conveyor chains. With over 130 years’ experience in the industry, we manufacture state-of-the-art chains and sprockets from a single source. Through our high standards and excellent service quality, we minimise downtime and improve productivity – sustainably. We hold stock of components for the main types of chains used here in all sizes and country-specific dimensions for our discerning customers – and deliver them all over the world.

The demands placed on chains and sprockets in the pellet industry are enormous. Here, our chains and sprockets deliver top performance under the most challenging conditions: moisture, sand and dirt, or acidic environments are daily challenges. To successfully meet these challenges, KÖBO offers high-performance chains with attachments. In addition, we develop bespoke solutions featuring customised attachments, increased contact surfaces or special heat treatment.
