The teeth can be replaced without removing the sprocket from the shaft, significantly reducing the number of man-hours required.
Smart Replaceable Series Large Size Conveyor Chain Sprockets
overview
To extend the life of the conveyor chains and sprockets used in conveyors that transport fuel (palm shell ash) for power generation, we have adopted a ring-replaceable tooth type sprocket for Large size conveyor chain, which allows for the replacement of only the worn teeth.
Problem
The sprockets had a short lifespan and were replaced approximately once every year and a half.
To replace it, the ash would get stuck and it couldn't be removed, so we had to cut the entire shaft off and remove it every time.
Adopted products
Smart Replaceable Series Large Size Conveyor Chain Sprockets
Sprocket for Large size conveyor chain.
Replacing a sprocket takes a lot of time and effort. It may be necessary to cut off the shaft, which can be even more dangerous when working at height.
Tsubaki's large conveyor sprocket "Smart Replaceable Series" solves the problem.
*In this case, a special specification was used.
Benefits of adopting the product
By adopting a ring-type replaceable tooth sprocket, it is now possible to replace only the worn teeth without removing the sprocket from the shaft, which has significantly reduced both labor hours and costs.
When we first purchased the replaceable tooth ring type, we used the shaft assembly service. The shaft and sprocket were delivered already assembled, which made it easy to install on the conveyor.
In addition, by designing the sprockets with Indicator pins (replacement notification marks) on the teeth, we were able to reduce the amount of work required to inspect the sprockets.
