Eliminates early corrosion in the bottle case washing and transport roller conveyor drive unit, reducing replacement frequency
Surface treated drive chain NEP Series
overview
The drive unit of the roller conveyor for washing and transporting bottle cases was using a steel chain, but it was replaced early on.
By adopting NEP Series Surface treated drive chain, we were able to reduce the frequency of replacements.
Problem
The roller conveyor used for washing and transporting bottle cases used a steel chain in its drive mechanism. However, because water and washing water splashed onto the drive mechanism, visible rust and corrosion occurred on the chain in a very short period of time, requiring replacement.
However, replacing the chains required procurement costs, and the labor involved in on-site replacement affected productivity, so we wanted to reconsider the replacement frequency.
Adopted products
Surface treated drive chain NEP Series
By combining a special coating and a special resin coating, Drive chain maintains the strength of RS roller chain while offering high corrosion resistance (rust prevention) and chemical resistance.
Furthermore, the rust-preventive surface treatment does not use harmful hexavalent chromium, nor does it use any other harmful substances such as lead, cadmium, mercury, or arsenic, and complies with the RoHS Directive *.
*RoHS Directive: A European Union directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Benefits of adopting the product
By adopting NEP Series of RS roller chain, which offers high strength, corrosion resistance, and chemical resistance, we were able to reduce the frequency of chain replacements and improve productivity on site.
