1. How to select specifications

The standard Standard Series.
Low Friction / Wear resistant (LF) specifications are often used for transporting containers such as beverages.

Furthermore, if you need good sliding properties to reduce snagging of transported items, we recommend the ultra-Low Friction / Anti-Wear (ALF) specification.
These three specifications are the standard specifications (materials).
For anything other than the standard, you will need to select a high-performance series that suits your application and purpose.
Please refer to the table below for information on how to use the ultra-Low Friction / Anti-Wear (ALF) specification and the standard and Low Friction / Wear resistant (LF) specifications.

Specification needs Purpose
Standard Series
(Gray, White, Blue, Sky Blue)
Areas where moderate slippage is sufficient (areas where excessive slippage is problematic)
  • High-speed conveyor for lightweight containers
  • Inclined conveying section
Low Friction / Anti-Wear (LF) specifications
(white, green, brown)
Areas where Standard Series lack slipperiness
  • Areas where excellent slip resistance is desired
  • General accumulation and container sliding measures, etc.
  • single strand high speed section
Ultra-Low Friction / Anti-Wear (ALF) specifications
(light blue)
Areas where greater slipperiness than the current low friction specifications is required, such as conveyors where continuous accumulation occurs and [multiple strand to single strand alignment sections].
Also, measures to prevent slippage when transporting containers, etc. (Currently, even with low-friction specifications, there is insufficient slippage, and slider fluid is used frequently in these areas.)
  • multiple strand to single strand alignment section
    (Conveyor called combiner/singularizer)
  • single strand high speed section
  • Various ultra-high speed line measures
    (Slippage is essential for ultra-high speeds)

Industry/Food Sanitation Law Compliance Icon

These are the industries we recommend. When you open the details of each specification, an icon will appear.
Specifications that comply with the Food Sanitation Act (Ministry of Health and Welfare Notification No. 370) are marked with the Food Sanitation Act compliance icon.
