Plastic modular chain

overview

In the post-cleaning and transport process for gear pump parts, the "WinCS mini" standard conveyor, which uses Plastic modular chain was adopted.

With existing belt conveyors, the cleaning solution caused the belt and pulleys to slip, resulting in unstable transport and requiring manual handling of parts.

By replacing the standard conveyor with the "WinCS mini," which uses Plastic modular chain, the sprocket and chain mesh securely, preventing slippage even in environments where cleaning fluid is present, and enabling stable automated transport of gear pump components.


Problem

A belt conveyor was used because the gear pump parts needed to be transported to the next process after the cleaning process. However, cleaning fluid adhered to the transport equipment, causing slippage between the belt and the pulley.

Slippage prevented the belt conveyor from being used stably, resulting in the need for manual transport of gear pump parts after cleaning, which increased labor costs.


Adopted products

Top chain unit WinCS mini

Since WinCS mini is a standardized conveyor, no design is required and the conveyor can be arranged simply by selecting the model number.

This can solve problems that arise when using belt conveyors, such as time-consuming maintenance and frequent replacement due to short lifespan.


Benefits of adopting the product

The WinCS mini uses a toothed sprocket to firmly engage with the chain, ensuring reliable operation. This reduces slippage even in environments where cleaning fluids are present, allowing for stable transport of gear pump components.

Furthermore, the transport of cleaned parts, which could not be reliably conveyed using conventional belt conveyors and had to be done manually, can now be reliably automated, reducing the man-hours required for transport operations.
