An improved chain, compatible with food grade lubricants, is capable of
use in poultry and other meat processing facilities. The chain comprises
pairs of side links alternating with center links, and held together with
pins. A pair of lubricating wells is located on each side link, proximate
the insertion point of the pins. The lubricating well provides
lubricating access to the pins, and is capable of retaining lubricant
such that lubricant is continuously provided to the pins and their pivot
points throughout the operation of the chain.
