Small size conveyor chain

overview

Stainless steel chains were used in the intermittent transport conveyors of fresh vegetable packaging machines, but to improve positioning misalignment caused by wear and tear, LSK stainless steel chains with high wear resistance were adopted.


Problem

Stainless steel chains were used on the intermittent transport conveyors of fresh vegetable packaging machines, which have multiple processes from "adding containers - adding fresh vegetables - sealing."

Stainless steel chains have a lower Maximum allowable load than steel chains and are prone to stretching due to wear, so there was a lot of work to be done after installation, such as positioning adjustments, which required a considerable amount of man-hours.


Adopted products

耐環境小形コンベヤチェーンLSK仕様

It is suitable for processes where positioning accuracy is important, such as filling machines used in the food and beverage industry.

  • Long life due to the use of special bushings that are resistant to wear.
  • It can be used up to 180°C and is heat resistant.
  • By incorporating initial elongation reduction as standard, the burden of maintenance after the equipment is put into operation is reduced.

Benefits of adopting the product

This time, by adopting the LSK specification, which enhances the lubrication effect by inserting a plastic part between the pin and bushing, the amount of wear elongation was reduced and the labor required for tension adjustment, etc. was significantly reduced.

Furthermore, reduced initial elongation also reduces the amount of work required to adjust the conveyor when installing the chain.
